Abstract

Silica gel treated with a commercial silylation reagent (Dow-Corning Z-6020) has been found to extract uranium from carbonate solutions. The materials used are simple to prepare and once the uranium is extracted, x-ray fluorescence may be employed to determine the uranium directly on the solid. A dependence of the extraction upon carbonate concentration is observed. A lower limit of detection of 2.46 μg of 0.12 ppm uranium from a 20 ml sample is obtained.
