Abstract

Abstract The present paper describes a simple method for the determination of uranium in uranium process stream solutions by reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method using C18 column, mixture of α-hydroxy isobutyric acid and methanol as eluent and flow-through spectrophotometer detector. This method has an advantage that interfering elements like rare-earth elements do not retain on the column and elute near the solvent peak thereby not interfering with uranium elution peak. Different eluents and parameters like pH, concentration of eluent are studied for the purpose. The spiking standard recovery was found to be more than 90 %. The developed method has been compared with other techniques and found to be in agreement.
