Summary

Solochrome Black 6 BN in an acetate buffered medium containing methanol reacts with U(IV) to give a blue complex which permits photometric determination with 5μg U/ml to 100μg U/ml.

In the presence of zinc acetate, uranyl ion also may be spectrophotometrically determined by means of the same dye. From 2μg U/ml to 40μg U/ml may be determined with a relative error of less than ± 0.05.

Zusammenfassung

Es werden zwei Methoden zur spektrophotometrischen Bestimmung von Uran mittels Solochromschwarz 6 BN beschrieben. Dieser Farbstoff bildet mit U(IV) in acetatgepuffertem, methanolhältigem Medium einen blaugefärbten Komplex, der die Bestimmung von 5 bis 100μg U/ml erlaubt.

Mit demselben Farbstoff lassen sich auch 2 bis 40μg U/ml in Lösungen von Uranylchlorid bestimmen.

Résumé

Le noir solochrome 6 BN en milieu tampon acétique contenant du méthanol réagit avec U-IV en donnant un complexe bleu qui permet le dosage photométrique de 5 μg U/ml à 100 μg U/ml.

En présence d'acétate de zinc, on peut aussi doser l'ion uranyle par spectrophotométrie avec le même colorant. On peut doser de 2 μg U/ml à 40 μg U/ml avec une erreur relative inférieure à ± 0,05.
