Abstract
Uranium(VI) reacts with 1-[(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)azo]-2-naphthol (5-Me-β-PAN) in aqueous solution. The complex can be extracted with chloroform at pH 7.0–11.5 to give a red solution with an absorbance peak at 560 nm. The color is stable and the system conforms to Beer's law at the range of 1.5–8 ppm uranium in chloroform layer. Common anions and cations do not interfere. Large amounts of interfering cations can be masked by potassium cyanide, EDTA or triethanolamine. The proposed method is a selective procedure for the determination of uranium. The molar absorptivity in the chloroform extract is 2.1×104 l mole−1 cm−1 at 560 nm.
