Abstract

By means of photoacoustic spectroscopy it has been possible to detect U(IV) and U(VI) in aqueous solution in the 10−6 M/L range. Piezoelectric transducer detection, pulsed laser radiation and a differential method to reduce solvent and window absorption has been used. Photoacoustic spectroscopy seems to be a suitable method for the low level detection of actinide elements.
