The method consists of colorimetrically analyzing uranium using ammonium sulfo-cyanide in the solvent phase. The optimum conditions for extracting uranium by ethyl acetate have been studied. A precise colorimetric method was established which depends on the extracted phase and on the behavior of the ethyl acetate-acetone medium.

Les meilleures conditions d'extraction de l'uranium par l'acetate d'ethyle ont ete etudiees. Une colorimetrie precise a ete mise au point en fonction de l'acidite de la phase extraite et du comportement du milieu acetate d'ethyleacetone. (auteur)
