Description

A method of constant-current coulometric titration for determination of uranium in uranium oxide is described. The method involves using Cr(II) as reductant to reduce U(VI) to U(IV) in H2SO4-H3PO4 medium, oxidizing the excess Cr(II) in air, adding the amount of solid K2Cr2O7 slightly larger than that required for quantitative oxidation of U(IV) and titrating the excess K2Cr2O7 with the electrogenerated Fe(II). The endpoint is determined amperometrically and the reduction-oxidation process was determined. The precision of the method indicated by the standard deviation of an individual observation is better than 0.01% for 1 g uranium oxide
