Polarographic Behavior of Various Metal Ions in Plutonium Solutions (open access)

Polarographic Behavior of Various Metal Ions in Plutonium Solutions

The reported procedures for the polarographic determination of uranium, vanadium, and titanium in plutonium were investigated to ascertain if they could be used to determine other common metals in plutonium. It was found that the procedure using hydroxylamine hydrochloride to reduce plutonium to the (III) oxidation state could be used to determine bismuth, platinum, rhodium, copper, tin, lead, thallium, iridium, and cadmium. The procedure using zinc and zinc amalgam in hydrochloric acid to reduce the plutonium to the (III) oxidation state is quite limited, but it might be used to determine molybdenum.
