Abstract

Dissolved uranium is selectively removed from 11 of filtered, acidified water using a liquid anion exchange resin (Amberlite LA-1) dissolved in 10 ml of purified kerosene. The organic phase is then analyzed by a standard delayed neutron counting technique. Yields of removed uranium are consistently greater than 90 percent over a measured concentration range of 1.0 to 100 ppb uranium. The absolute detection limit based on 11 of water is 0.06 ppb. Elemental interferences are minimal and the results compare favorably with fluorometric analyses of natural waters.
