Abstract
A simple and reliable method for the selective extraction and determination of uranium in water using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified with bis (2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate and alpha-spectrometry is described. Extraction efficiency and influence of sample matrix, optimum amount of extractant, type and minimum amount of organic eluent and flow rates were evaluated. The limit of detection of the proposed method is 40 ng per 1000 ml. The influence of potential interfering cations in water samples on the recovery of U(VI) was investigated. The method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of uranium in natural water.
