Fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy of the uranyl ion in nitric acid for process monitoring applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Near real time process monitoring of the uranium content in an aqueous fuel recycling plant is a desired component of an advanced safeguards suite; Ultraviolet– Visible spectroscopy and Time Resolved Laser induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy can contribute to this technology gap. This work presents the observation of the spectroscopic parameters (molar absorptivities, fluorescent response) of the uranyl ion across the range of conditions expected in reprocessing chemistry. From this data, a monitor using the ratio of the absorbance of the uranyl ion at 403 and 426 nm has been developed. This technique can determine the nitrate solution concentration and can be coupled with a condition appropriate molar absorptivity to determine the uranyl concentration. This method provides a reliable technique for online, real time process monitoring of the uranyl and nitrate concentration under a wide range of solution compositions.

A New Colorimetric Azo-azomethine Probe for Fluoride Ion Detection Based on the Proton Transfer Signaling Mode: Real-life Applications
Four novel receptors were designed and synthesized for colorimetric detection of F− ions. The introduction of four electron withdrawing groups into the backbone of the receptors makes the two phenolic groups efficient hydrogen bonding sites. The binding properties of receptors with anions were examined for the first time by UV–Vis, 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The addition of F− resu...

The polyphosphate kinase gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was overexpressed in its native host, resulting in the accumulation of 100 times the polyphosphate seen with control strains. Degradation of this polyphosphate was induced by carbon starvation conditions, resulting in phosphate release into the medium. The mechanism of polyphosphate degradation is not clearly understood, but it appears t...
