Assay of Uranium in the Presence of Various Interfering Ions Using Ion Pair Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
A sensitive and specific method for uranium(VI) determination using reverse phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography with UV detector has been developed. The developed method has been applied for the determination of uranium in a synthetic sample containing most of the interfering ions. Except iron most of the elements and anion which often interfere in uranium assay do not interfere in the present method. Interference of iron is masked by addition of 5mM/l EDTA solution to the sample.
