Abstract

This paper describes the development and testing of a chemical procedure for determining the tetravalent and hexava-lent states of uranium in aqueous media at concentration as low as 10−10M. Results show the U(IV) stability towards fast modifications of the pH of the solution with oxygen free hydrochloric acid. Some results on the oxidation kinetic of the uranium tetravalent state versus the HCl and uranium concentrations as well as the Fe(III) content are presented.
