| Abstract: | The complex species of UO2(HA)(H2A)+ and UO2(HA)2 were identified in the ascorbic acid solution of uranyl ion at pH<2.1 and pH>2.1, respectively. Polarographic wave was proved to be the simultaneous reduction of UO2+2 and UO2(HA)(H2A)+ at pH <2.1. However, at pH>2.1, the wave is due to the reduction of U02(HA)2 The stability constants of the two complex species were found to be 5.1×10+ and 1.0×105, respectively. The hydrolysis constant of uranyl ion in the solution of ascorbic acid was determined. |
