A Note on the Use of Ion Exchange Resins for the Purification of Urinary Purines, Kynurenic Acid, and Coproporphyrin: (Preliminary Report)

Abstract: "Preliminary studies are reported on the use of the ion exchange resins for the adsorptions of purines, uracil, nucleotides, kynurenic acid, and coproporphyrin. Adenine and guanine are adsorbed on IR-100 resin from neutral solution and eluted by HCl. Kynurenic acid and coproporphyrin are adsorbed from neutral solution on IR-4 resin and eluted by HCl. Coproporphyrin is strongly adsorbed on IR-100 resin from either acid, alkaline, or neutral solution. Kynurenic acid is poorly adsorbed on IR-100 resin from neutral aqueous solution. The preliminary application of these procedures to the spectro-photometric study of urine is described."

The Separation of Uranium From Thorium: The Oxalic Acid Leach (open access)

The Separation of Uranium From Thorium: The Oxalic Acid Leach

From Abstract: "The use of the oxalic acid method for the separation of uranium from mixed thorium-uranium peroxides has been investigated, and appears to be the most satisfactory of the obvious methods of separation. One oxalic acid leach removes nearly all of the uranium from the thorium with approximately one mg Th/L remaining in the uranium solution phase."

Factors Affecting the Precipitation of Uranium Peroxide (open access)

Factors Affecting the Precipitation of Uranium Peroxide

Abstract: "This is a compilation of the data on uranium peroxide precipitations appearing in several reports. The solubility product is measured. The effect of many individual ions on the hydrogen peroxide decomposition rate and the complexing of uranium is demonstrated. Studies on plant and other highly contaminated solutions are not included."

Note on the Determination of Lead in Pitchblende (open access)

Note on the Determination of Lead in Pitchblende

Technical report describing a procedure for the determination of lead in pitchblende. The procedure was determined as needed in the course of an investigation of the processing of pitchblende for the production of uranium. Summary: The volumetric dichromate method for the determination of lead was selected from among several methods investigated as being best suited for a rapid determination of lead in pitchblende. The method as described is accurate to within 1% and it does not require the application of an empirical factor as suggested by Willard and Diehl for this determination.
