Abstract

Uranium and thorium have been determined in natural water samples by concentration on a cation-exchange resin, separation on an anionexchange resin and by measuring spectrophotometrically the compounds formed by U/IV/ and Th/IV/ with Arsenazo III. The recovery yield is higher than 90% for Th and about 80% for U.
