| Abstract: | A procedure for the complete chemical analysis of magnesium or sodium diuranate (yellow cake) sample is reported. Uranium is determined gravimetrically after peroxide precipitation. Optimum parameters, such as pH, quantity of hydrogen peroxide, volume of sample, temperature and complexing agent for quantitave precipitation of uranium, and effective separation of other elements were studied. Aluminum, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometer and B, Mo, SO4, REEs and Y by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer in the filtrates of hydroxide and peroxide precipitation separation. The proposed method is accurate and the precision is characterized by an RSD of ~0.2% for U; 2 to 6% for Mg, Na, K, Ca, Fe, SiO2, Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn and 3 to7% for REEs, Y, Mo and B |
