Description

Analysis of boron (B) and cadmium (Cd) in U3O8 has been carried out by using used battery electrode at emission spectrograph method. Analysis was done with the DC-Arc method, 10 Ampere current, 220 voltage, 25 second exposure time, and 2 mm electrode apart. The sample was extracted using TBP-Kerosine with the ratio of 70 : 30 volume of 200 ml. Water phase as the extraction result was dripped on electrode and excited. Intensity of the samples were compared to its standard, then it was obtained boron and cadmium concentration in sample were 0.07 ppm and 0.15 ppm respectively. The analysis result of boron and cadmium concentration in the sample using battery electrode were 0.21 ppm and 0.14 ppm respectively. (author)
