Description

Uranium in products is conventionally analysed by using modified Davis Gray method. This method generates large volumes of sulphate+phosphate bearing waste. A mini potentiometric cell designed and fabricated by IIS, IGCAR and uranium analyses were standardized in this cell. The results with this cell indicates; volume analytical waste is reduced by six times, range of analyses of uranium is 0.8-2.4 mg with a precision of 0.3 % (higher aliquot volume > 200 mg) and bias 1.7 %.
