Abstract

The variables affecting determination of ultra trace levels of uranium (VI) in aqueous samples by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry using chloranilic acid as the complexing agent have been examined in detail. Effect of organic surfactants on the voltammetric behavior has been studied. Electrochemical impedance measurements reveal the effect of adsorption of different surfactants on the adsorption pre-concentration step of uranium-chloranilic acid complex. Additionally, to better understand the analytical feature of the method, physicochemical aspects of the preconcentration process has been studied. Adsorption of uranium-chloranilic acid complex follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Analysis results on sea water samples from India are reported.
