Volumetric Determination of Uranium Using Titanous Sulfate as Reductant Before Oxidimetric Titration

Description: The following report discusses a method for determining uranium in samples containing 0.05 percent or more U3O8, using titanous sulfate as reducing agent, that's much shorter, faster, and has fewer interferences than conventional methods using reductor columns.

Sources of the Elements in thh Sandstone-Type Uranium Deposits of the Colorado Plateau

Description: The following report covers a broad-scale study of the distribution of elements in the rocks and ores of the Colorado Plateau. Discussed here are the results from semiquantitative spectrographic analyses of approximately 800 samples of rocks and ores that form the principal starting point for the discussion. This paper examines the relevance of the results of the study of the distribution of elements to the special problem of the source or sources of the elements contained in unusual abundance … more
