Abstract

A selective liquid scintillation method is proposed for the determination of uranium in geological samples by α-counting. This method permits the determination of uranium in presence of other radionuclides. The extraction of uranium with HDEHP into the scintillator is conducted in the presence of DTPA in the aqueous phase. The optimum conditions provide quantitative extraction of uranium while masking the other α-emitters.
