Simultaneous determination of uranium(IV) and iron(II) with a stopped-flow inductive kinetic spectrophotometric method

A kinetic method for simultaneous determination of multielements is proposed, and a procedure for simultaneous determination of uranium(VI) and iron(II) is established based on their inductive effect on the chromium(VI)-iodide redox reaction in weak acidic medium. The reaction was monitored with the stopped-flow spectrophotometric technique by using I₃^–-starch complex as indicator. The calibration graphs are linear for 0–3.6 g.cm^–3 U(IV), and 0–2.5 g.cm^–3 Fe(II), respectively. Most foreign ions, except for V(IV), Sb(III), do not interfere with the determination.
