Dissolution of Uranium Tetrafluoride (open access)

Dissolution of Uranium Tetrafluoride

"Five new dissolution processes for uranium tetrafluoride are discussed-the NH4OH-H2O2 method, the H2SC4 - (NH4)2S2O8 method, the AlCl3 method, the NaAlcl method, and the Al (NO3)3.9E2O method. It is concluded that NaAlCl4 and Al(NO3)3.9H2O are preferable to the other agents, especially with regard to rate of dissolution and ease of manipulation."

The Coulometric Titration of 8-Hydroxyquinoline (open access)

The Coulometric Titration of 8-Hydroxyquinoline

Abstract: "A new method of determining 8-hydroxyquinoline by titration with electrolytucally-generated bromine has been developed. Results show good precision in the range 0.4 mg. to 1.6 mg. total 8-hydroxyquinoline, with 99% confidence limits of less than +/- 2%. An electronically-regulated constant current source, required by the method, is described. A new indicator system with high sensitivity to free bromine is discussed."

The Coulometric Determination of Acetic Acid

Abstract: "Small amounts of acetic acid, equivalent to 400 ul. of 0.3 to 0.13 g/L. can be titrated coulonatrically in the presence of a 10 to 25-fold excess of HN03 in 70%, isopropanol. An accuracy of +/- 0.1% and a precision of +/- 8.5% (99% limite) are obtained.

A Microdetermination of Uranium by Ferric Sulfate Titration (open access)

A Microdetermination of Uranium by Ferric Sulfate Titration

Abstract: "Following nitrate removal by means of a three-stage hydrochloric acid digestion, uranium was reduced with chromous sulfate reagent. In an inert atmosphere, the quadrivalent uranium was titrated at 80-95[degrees] with standard ferric sulfate solution. The end point was obtained with a potentiometric cell including a platinum in-titrant reference electrode and a platinum indicator electrode. Application was made to various low leverl uranium solutions. For samples containing 1 - 12 milligrams or uranium, less than one percent error may be expected. Iron and chromium do not interfere."

Refrigeration System Used in Mercury Isotope Collections (open access)

Refrigeration System Used in Mercury Isotope Collections

From introduction: During 1948, the Isotope Research and Production Division undertook to obtain small quantities of nearly pure mercury isotopes by electromagnetic isotope separation. The possible use of a mercury isotope of even-numbered mass to establish an international standard of length required an isotopic purity greater than 99 per cent. It, became apparent that this degree of separation could only be achieved by preventing random diffusion of un-ionized mercury which otherwise would contaminate the isotope collectors.

Structural Geology of the Hawthorne and Tonopah Quadrangles, Nevada

From introduction: The object of this paper is to describe the salient features of Jurassic diastrophism in parts of the Tonopah and Hawthorne quadrangles in west-central Nevada. The problem is complicated by the lack of continuity of exposures, earlier folding of the older rocks, metamorphism caused by the later granitic in-trusions, and by superposed Tertiary and later normal faults.
