Automated flow systems for total and isotopic analysis of uranium and thorium in samples of environmental interest – A review

2021, Journal of Environmental RadioactivityMultisyringe flow injection analysis for the spectrophotometric determination of uranium (VI) with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol
2019, Microchemical JournalCitation Excerpt :In the recent study, Miller et al. indicated that long term exposure to depleted uranium could produce cancer in humans [7]. There are numerous techniques which have been reported for uranium determination in environmental samples, for example fluorimetry [8], X-ray fluorescence [9], potentiometry [10], polarography [11], inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP OES) [12,13], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [14–17], alfa-spectroscopy [18–20] and spectrophotometry [21–25]. Between them, spectrometry is the most used because it is inexpensive, easy to operate and available in all laboratories.
Novel extractant impregnated resin for preconcentration and determination of uranium from environmental samples
2017, Microchemical JournalCitation Excerpt :Uranium is one of the heaviest naturally occurring elements and is found at an average concentration of 0.0004% in the Earth's crust [8]. Seawater contains around 3 μg/L of uranium and is distributed uniformly in all the World's oceans [9]. In most countries, the tolerance level for uranium in drinking water as described by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is 0.03 mg/L [10].
Lab on valve-multisyringe flow injection system (LOV-MSFIA) for fully automated uranium determination in environmental samples
2011, TalantaCitation Excerpt :So with this method the WHO reference value of uranium could be easily measured. As can be seen in Table 4 the LOD of the current method is very low, one to three orders of magnitude lower than those obtained with radiometric methods (LOD between: 18 and 0.40 μg L−1) [23–25], furthermore requiring much less time. A radiometric determination can last 24 h versus the 11 min required by the proposed method for uranium determination.
Uranium determination using atomic spectrometric techniques: An overview
2010, Analytica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :Its concentration in seawater hovers around 3 μg L−1 and is distributed uniformly in all the world's oceans. In surface freshwater (rivers and lakes), the average concentration is as low as 0.5 μg L−1, and depending on the location and contamination of the water, it can reach concentrations as high as 500 μg L−1[4,5]. Uranium is an element of great commercial interest because of its use in the production of nuclear energy, in the manufacture of nuclear weapons, in the shielding of industrial radioactive sources and even as anti-tanks ammunition.
