Direct determination of uranium in the concentration range of 8 μg L−1 to mg L−1 in water samples originating from different geochemical environments has been done using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical
Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Uranium detection with 2–3% RSD (relative standard deviation) has been achieved in water
samples by optimizing the plasma power, argon and sheath gas flow. These parameters were optimized for three different emission
lines of uranium at 385.958, 409.014 and 424.167 nm. Interference arising due to the variation in concentration of bicarbonate,
sodium chloride, calcium chloride, Fe and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on the determination of uranium in water samples
was also cheeked as these are the elements which vary as per the prevailing geochemical environment in groundwater samples.
The concentration of NaHCO3, CaCl2 and NaCl in water was varied in the range 0.5–2.0%; whereas Fe ranged between 1 and 10 μg mL−1 and DOC between 0.1–1%. No marked interference in quantitative determination of uranium was observed due to elevated level
of NaHCO3, CaCl2 and NaCl and Fe and DOC in groundwater samples. Concentration of uranium was also determined by other techniques like adsorptive
striping voltametry (AdSv); laser fluorimetry and alpha spectrometry. Results indicate distinct advantage for uranium determination
by ICP-OES compare to other techniques. 相似文献

Uranium from different uranium oxide matrices was extracted with tri-n-butyl phosphate–nitric acid (TBP–HNO3) adduct using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2). While 30 min dissolution time at 323 K was sufficient for U3O8 and UO2 powder, UO2 granule (at 333 K) and crushed green pellet (at 353 K) required 40 min. Crushed sintered pellet required 60 min at 353 K
for complete dissolution. Influence of various experimental parameters such as temperature, pressure, volume of TBP–HNO3 adduct, acidity of nitric acid used for preparing TBP–HNO3 adduct and extraction time on uranium extraction efficiency was also investigated. For UO2 powder, temperature of 323 K, pressure of 15.2 MPa, 1 mL TBP–HNO3 adduct, 10 M nitric acid and 30 min extraction time was found to be optimum. ~70% uranium extraction efficiency was obtained
on extraction with SC CO2 alone which increased to 90% with the addition of 2.5% TBP in SC CO2 stream. Extraction efficiency was found to vary linearly with TBP percentage and nearly complete uranium extraction (~99%)
was observed with 20% TBP. Nearly complete extraction was also achieved with addition of 2.5% thenoyltrifluoroacetylacetone
(TTA) in methanol. The optimized procedure was extended to remove uranium from simulated tissue paper waste matrix smeared
with uranium oxide solids. 相似文献

An ion exchange method has been developed for the separation of uranium from trace level metallic impurities prior to their
determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) in uranium materials. Selective separation
of uranium from trace level metallic impurities consisting Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Cd, Gd, Dy, Ni, and Ca was achieved on anion
exchange resin Dowex 1 × 8 in sulphate medium. The resin (100–200 mesh, in chloride form) was packed in a small Teflon column
(7.8 cm × 0.8 cm I.D.) and brought into sulphate form by passing 0.2 N ammonium sulphate solution. Optimum experimental conditions
including pH and concentration of sulphate in the liquid phase were investigated for the effective uptake of uranium by the
column. Uranium was selectively retained on the column as anionic complex with sulphate, while impurities were passed through
the column. Post column solution was collected and analyzed by ICP-OES for the determination of metallic impurities. Up to
2,500 μg/mL of uranium was retained with >99% efficiency after passing 25 mL sample through the column at pH 3. Percentage
recoveries obtained for most of the metallic impurities were >95% with relative standard deviations <5%. The method established
was applied for the determination of gadolinium in urania–gadolinia (UO2–Gd2O3) ceramic nuclear fuel and excellent results were achieved. Solvent extraction method using tributylphosphate (TBP) as extractant
was also applied for the separation of uranium in urania–gadolinia nuclear fuel samples prior to the determination of gadolinium
by ICP-OES. The results obtained with the present method were found very comparable with those of the solvent extraction method. 相似文献

Extraction behavior of 1 × 10−2–0.1 M U(VI) from aqueous phases containing 0.86 M Th(IV) at 4 M HNO3 in 1.1 M tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 1.1 M N,N-dihexyl octanamide (DHOA) solutions in different diluents viz. n-dodecane, 10% 1-octanol + n-dodecane, and decahydronaphthalene (decalin) was studied. Third-phase formation was observed in both the extractants using
n-dodecane as diluent. There was a gradual decrease in Th(IV) concentration in the third-phase (heavy organic phase, HOP) with
increased aqueous U(VI) concentration [0.71 M (no U(VI))–0.61 M (0.1 M U(VI)) for TBP; 0.27 M (no U(VI))–0.22 M (0.1 M U(VI))
for DHOA]. The HOP volume in case of DHOA was ~2.2 times of that of TBP. Uranium concentration in HOP increased with its initial
concentration in the aqueous phase [from 1.8 × 10−2 M (0.01 M U(VI))–0.162 M (0.1 M U(VI)) for TBP; from 1.4 × 10−2 M (0.01 M U(VI))–0.14 M (0.1 M U(VI)) for DHOA] suggesting that Th(IV) was being replaced by U(VI). An empirical correlation
was developed for predicting the concentrations of uranium and thorium in HOP for both the extractants. No third-phase appeared
during the extraction of uranium and thorium from the aqueous phases employing 10% 1-octanol + n-dodecane, or decalin as diluents, and therefore, were better choices as diluent for alleviating the third-phase formation
during the reprocessing of spent thorium based fuels, and for the recovery of thorium from high-level waste solutions. 相似文献

Uranium concentrations were analyzed in the Syrian phosphate deposits. Mean concentrations were found between 50 and 110 ppm.
As a consequence, an average phosphate dressing of 22 kg/ha phosphate would charge the soil with 5–20 g/ha uranium when added
as a mineral fertilizer. Fine grinding phosphate produced at the Syrian mines was used for uranium recovery by carbonate leaching.
The formation of the soluble uranyl tricarbonate anion UO2(CO3)3
4− permits using alkali and sodium bicarbonate salts for the nearly selective dissolution of uranium from phosphate. Separation
of iron, aluminum, titanium, etc., from uranium during leaching was carried out. Formation of some small amounts of molybdates,
vanadates, phosphates, aluminates, and some complex metals was investigated. This process could be used before the manufacture
of Tri-Super Phosphate (TSP) fertilizer, and the final products would contain less uranium quantities. 相似文献

The extraction, scrubbing and stripping behaviour of uranium, zirconium and ruthenium with di-n-hexyl and di-n-octyl sulfoxides
in Solvesso-100 and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in shell Sol-T irradiated by various gamma doses (0–169 Mrads) have been investigated.
2M HNO3 was used for extraction and scrubbing and 0.01M HNO3 for stripping purposes. Results indicate that the extraction of uranium with TBP increases and that with sulfoxide decreases
with dose. This is reflected in their corresponding scrubbing percentages too. The stripping percentage of uranium with TBP
decreases with dose while the reverse is the case with sulfoxide. The extraction of zirconium with TBP increases sharply with
dose as compared to sulfoxides. The extraction scrubbing and stripping of ruthenium remain almost unaffected by dose both
in the case of TBP and sulfoxides. These results lead to much higher overall decontamination factors for uranium with respect
to zirconium as well as ruthenium with irradiated sulfoxides as compared to those with irradiated TBP. 相似文献

Olive cake as low-cost abundantly available sorbent has been characterized by N2 at 77 K adsorption, porosity analysis, elemental analysis and IR spectra and has been used for preconcentrating of uranium(VI)
and thorium(IV) ions prior to their determination spectrophotometrically. The optimum pH values for quantitative sorption
of U(VI) and Th(IV) are 4–7 and 3–7, respectively. The enrichment factor for the preconcentration of U(VI) and Th(IV) were
found to be 125 and 75 in the given order. The sorption capacity of olive cake is in the range of 2,260–15,000 μg g−1 for Th(IV) and in the range of 1,090–17,000 μg g−1 for U(VI) at pH 3–7. The sorbent exhibits good reusability and the uptake and stripping of the studied ions were fairly rapid.
The elution of U(VI) and Th(IV) was performed with 0.3–1 M HCl/1–2 M HNO3 and 0.3–0.8 M HCl/1 M HNO3, respectively. The precision of the method was 1.8 RSD% for U(VI) and 2.5 RSD% for Th(IV) in a concentration of 1.00 μg mL−1 for 10 replicate analysis. The influence of some electrolytes and cations as interferents was discussed. Separation of U(VI)
and Th(IV) from other metal ions in synthetic solution was achieved. 相似文献

Extraction of uranium from tissue paper, synthetic soil, and from its oxides (UO2, UO3 and U3O8) was carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide modified with methanol solutions of extractants such as tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) or N,N-dihexyl octanamide (DHOA). The effects of temperature, pressure, extractant/nitric acid (nitrate) concentration, and of hydrogen
peroxide on uranium extraction were investigated. The dissolution and extraction of uranium in supercritical CO2 modified with TBP, from oxide samples followed the order: UO3 ≫ UO2 > U3O8. Addition of hydrogen peroxide in the modifier solution enhanced the dissolution/extraction of uranium in dynamic mode. DHOA
appeared better than TBP for recovery of uranium from different oxide samples. Similar enhancement in uranium extraction was
observed in static mode experiments in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Uranium estimation in the extracted fraction was
carried out by spectrophotometry employing 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (Br-PADAP) as the chromophore. 相似文献

A method that combines the use of non-destructive neutron activation analysis and high-resolution α spectrometry has been
developed for determination of the activities of 234U and 238U in geological samples of low uranium content. The 238U content is determined by k0-based neutron activation analysis, whereas the 234U/238U relationship is measured by α spectrometry after isolation and electrodeposition of the uranium extracted from a lixiviation
with 6 M HCl. The main advantage of the method is the simplicity of the chemical operations, including the fact that the steps
destined to assure similar chemical state for the tracer and the uranium species present in the sample are not necessary.
The method was applied to soil samples from sites of the North Peru Coast. Uranium concentration range 3–40 mg/kg and the
isotopic composition correspond to natural uranium, with about 10% uncertainty. 相似文献

The extraction of uranium(VI) from nitric acid medium is investigated using 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid-mono-2-ethylhexyl
ester (PC88A in dimeric form, H2A2) as extractant either alone or in combination with neutral extractants such as tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO), and dioctyl sulfoxide (DOSO). The effects of different experimental
parameters such as aqueous phase acidity (up to 10 M HNO3), nature of diluent [xylene, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), n-dodecane and methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK)] and of temperature (303–333 K) on the extraction behavior of uranium were investigated. Synergistic
extraction of uranium was observed between 0.5 and 6 M HNO3. Use of MIBK as diluent was also studied. Temperature variation studies using PC88A as extractant showed exothermic nature
of extraction process. Studies were carried out to optimize the conditions for the recovery of uranium from the raffinate
generated during the purification of uranium from nitric acid medium. Inductively Couple Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy
(ICP-AES) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) techniques were employed for analysis of uranium in equilibrated
samples. 相似文献

Uranium uptake from acidic solutions is comprised practically in this study into three main steps namely; adsorbent synthesis,
uranium uptake procedure, and desorption step. In this respect, two uranium adsorbents were synthesized from mineral processing
of ilmenite and talc. Titanium phosphate adsorbent (TP) was deposited from titanium sulfate solution obtained from ilmenite
sands processing. On the other hand, magnesium silicate adsorbent (MS) is prepared by sodium metasilicate neutralization of
the acidic magnesium bearing waste solution resulted from talc whitening process. Structurally and chemically the two adsorbents
were investigated by XRD, IR and SEM-EDX analyses. The studied factors affecting the uranium uptake onto TP and MS adsorbents
were uranium concentration (10–1000 ppm), acidic pH range (1–6), contact time, shaking time and solid to liquid ratio. The
uranium analysis was determined spectrophotometrically using arsenazo(III) dye where SEM-EDX analysis confirmed the uranium
uptake by adsorbents. The optimum conditions obtained were applied to uranium bearing, highly mineralized granite samples
(5200 ppm U) and black shale (40 ppm U). The uranium uptake was more than 98% for the mineralized granite samples and more
than 97% for shale. The loaded uranium was recycled by using 0.5 and 1M HNO3 in case of TP and MS with percentage recovery of 96 and 98% respectively. 相似文献

This paper reprots of31P NMR and IR studies of the interaction of tributyl phosphate (TBP) and di-n-octyl sulfoxide (DOSO) with polymer molecules
of uranyl di-2-ethylhexyl phosphate (UO2X2)p (I) in C6H6 sulutions. Detailed interpretations of the31P NMR spectra and the vas(POO) IR bands and determination of the fraction of nonequivalent phosphorus atoms of X− anions and uranium (VI) atoms as well as the concentration of U(VI)-bonded TBP in I have shown that only a single TBP or
DOSO molecule is coordinated to the uranium atoms of polymer I at CTBP=0.1–2 M or CDOSO=0.1–0.5 M. In the case of 100% TBP, two TBP molecules are coordinated to some U(VI) atoms. Distribution of TBP (DOSO) molecules
along the polymer chain agrees with the mean statistical value. The portion of terminal chalate POO-groups of X− anions is determined. The dependence of the degree of (UO2X2)p·nL (L=TBP, DOSO) polymerization on CL is obtained. Saturation of solutions with water only slightly affects the terminal POO-groups and has no effects on the distribution
of L along the polymer chain of I.

The understanding of the bio-geochemical behavior of the uranium radionuclides in the environmental matrices is crucial for
the health safety point of view. The research was carried out in munitions testing sites New Golloway (SW) of Scotland at
the Dunderann firing range which is contaminated with depleted uranium and site is particularly important because it provides
a controlled environment for the investigation of post depositional association of Depleted Uranium (DU) in contaminated soils.
This study used the modified BCR sequential extraction method to investigates the association of DU in at the different sampling
location and in a control soil and were followed by elemental analysis using inductively coupled-optical Emission spectroscopy
(ICP-OES).The Certified Reference Material (CRM) were used for the validation of the concentration. The concentrations of
(Bureau of Reference) BCR-extracted Uranium (U) were in the range of 4–40 (±13.2) mg kg−1 for the DU-contaminated sites whilst U was barely detectable in the soil from the control site (Rebury Gun) RGW. With the
exception of RGH and RGW, the values for BCR-extracted U compared well with those obtained using Aqaua-regia. The obtained
result showed that the maximum Uranium deposition is at RGE and it is 20 mg kg−1 before hitting the target, the 6 mg kg−1 at RGH and minimum is at RGG and RGW control site. 相似文献

A multisyringe flow injection analysis method for the determination of uranium in water samples was developed. The methodology
was based on the complexation reaction of uranium with arsenazo (III) at pH 2.0. Uranium concentrations were spectrophotometrically
detected at 649 nm using a light emitting diode. Under the optimized conditions, a linear dynamic range from 0.1 to 4.0 μg mL−1, a 3σ detection limit of 0.04 μg mL−1, and a 10σ quantification limit of 0.10 μg mL−1 were obtained. The reproducibility (%) at 0.5, 2.5, and 4.0 μg mL−1 was 2.5, 0.9, and 0.6%, respectively (n = 10). The interference effect of some ions was tested. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination
of uranium in water samples. 相似文献

The uptake behavior of Pu(IV) has been investigated by using calcium alginate gel polymer (CaALG) and TBP microcapsules (TBP-CaALG).
The characterization of CaALG and TBP-CaALG was examined by SEM and IR, and the uptake properties and distribution of Pu(IV)
ions were estimated by batch method. The uptake rate of Pu(IV) on CaALG and TBP-CaALG in the presence of 5 M HNO3 was attained within 6 and 4 h, respectively, and K
d values for CaALG and TBP-CaALG after 7 h-shaking were 50.2 and 53.2 cm3/g, respectively. Relatively large K
d values (90.3–425 cm3/g) were obtained for fresh CaALG and TBP-CaALG in the presence of 0.5–2 M HNO3. Thus CaALG and TBP-CaALG are effective for the separation of Pu(IV) in the presence of highly concentrated HNO3. 相似文献

A relatively rapid, economic and robust procedure is described for the radiometric analysis of uranium in phosphate rock and
phosphogypsum. The analysis is performed by alpha spectroscopy after pre-concentration and separation of uranium by liquid-extraction
using tributyl-phosphate (30% TBP in dodecan) and finally its electrodeposition on stainless steel discs. The method has been
successfully applied to 0.1 g samples of phosphate rock and phosphogypsum resulting in high-quality spectra for measurement
times ≥15 h. The main advantage of the procedure is the use of tracer solution (232U) that allows reliable measurements and evaluation of the separation procedure. The separation efficiency of the proposed
method has been estimated to be (75 ± 20)%. 相似文献

Summary
Determination of Uranium and Thorium in Phosphate Rocks by a Combined Ion-Exchange — Spectrophotometric Method
A selective anion-exchange separation and Spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of uranium and thorium in phosphate rocks. About 0.2 g of rock sample is decomposed with nitric acid. Uranium and thorium are adsorbed by anion-exchange on an Amberlite CG 400 (NO3
–) column from the sample solution adjusted to 2.5M in magnesium nitrate and 0.1M in nitric acid. Uranium and thorium are eluted consecutively with 6.6M nitric acid and 0.1M nitric acid, respectively. Uranium and thorium in the respective effluents are determined spectrophotometrically with Arsenazo III. Results are quoted on uranium and thorium in NBS standard phosphate rock and others. 相似文献

New data are presented on 238U concentrations in surface and ground waters sampled at selected uranium mining sites in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and in
water supplies of settlements located in the vicinity of these sites. Radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA) was
used for 238U determination in all cases. In addition, for data accuracy assessments purposes, a sub-set of these samples was analysed
by high-resolution alpha spectrometry, following standard radiochemical separation and purification. Our data show that drinking
waters sampled at various settlements located close to the uranium mining sites are characterised by relatively low uranium
concentrations (1.9–35.9 μg L−1) compared to surface waters sampled within the same sites. The latter show high concentrations of total uranium, reflecting
the influence from the radioactive waste generated as a result of uranium ore production. 相似文献

Combined analytical procedures consisting of wet digestion step followed by instrumental determination – differential pulse
cathodic stripping voltammetry (DPCSV) or electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) – as well as a direct analysis
method – slurry sampling ETAAS – for the determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni and Pb in milk, cheese and chocolate are
described and compared. Wet digestion using a mixture of HNO3-HClO4-H2O2 is proposed for complete matrix decomposition prior to trace analyte determinati on by DPCSV or ETAAS. A mixture of HNO3-H2O2 is used for slurry preparation. Optimal instrumental parameters for trace analyte measurements are presented.
The reliability of the procedures has been verified by analyzing standard reference materials. Results obtained are in good
agreement with the certified values and the relative standard deviations (for these results) are in the range 5–10% for wet
digestion DPCSV or ETAAS and 3–9% for slurry sampling ETAAS in the range of 2 μgċg−1 (Cd) to 12 μgċg−1 (Fe).

Mediated electrochemical oxidation is a promising technique for the destruction of organic compounds. Destruction of tributyl
phosphate (TBP) in normal paraffin hydrocarbon (NPH) in nitric acid medium containing electro-generated Ag(II) was studied.
Initially, the effect of uranium, presence of DBP along with uranium in the organic phase and direct electrochemical oxidation
without catalyst (Ag) on the destruction of 30% TBP/NPH system was evaluated. For a comparison, the rate of destruction of
NPH alone was studied. Further, radioactive laboratory waste solution was tested for the destruction of organic waste under
similar experimental conditions. The electrolyte used in the system was 0.5 M AgNO3 in 8 M HNO3 at 333 K. The uniqueness in all these experiments is the use of a double end open porcelain diaphragm for the isolation of
electrodes. Though there would be a slight reduction in the efficiency, two major hurdles viz., reduction in the concentration
of nitric acid and reduction in the volume of catholyte resulting in an increase in cell voltage were avoided. The problem
of the migration of Ag+/Ag2+ and accumulating at the cathode site was overcome by using double end open diaphragm and thorough mixing. The results revealed
that the rate of destruction of organics is favoured in the presence of uranium in organic phase and with increase in temperature. 相似文献
