Abstract
Two multivariate calibration methods, partial least squares types 1 and 2 (PLS-1 and PLS-2) have been applied to the simultaneous determination of U(VI) and Th(IV) ions as complexes with carminic acid by visible absorption spectrophotometry. The results obtained by application of different chemometric approaches are discussed. No significant advantages were found between the methods. The proposed methods were applied satisfactorily to the determination of these ions in synthetic solutions simulating sulfuric acid leach solutions obtained from uranium-thorium ores.
