Radium Determination by Alpha Counting (Final Report)

Abstract: A method is described for the determination of radium by alpha counting. A dilute hydrochloric acid solution of the radium sample is passed through a short column of copper powder to remove polonium. The effluent is mounted on glass slides and alpha counted four to five hours after mounting. Twenty-four hours after mounting, the slides are counted again, and the percentage increase in counts is used to determine a correction factor for the growth of radon and its daughters. Precision and accuracy are within the limits of the counting instrument used.

The Spectrophotometric Determination of Uranium (open access)

The Spectrophotometric Determination of Uranium

Measurement of the color intensity of the uranium thiocyanate complex is discussed as a method for the quantitative determination of uranium. Two procedures for amounts from 1 microgram to 1 milligram are described, and standard curves are shown. The effects of numerous foreign ions are shown, and methods of removal for some of these are discussed.
