Rs. Addleman et al., On-line speciation of uranyl chelates in supercritical CO2 by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, ANALYT CHEM, 73(6), 2001, pp. 1112-1119
The dynamic emission characteristics of selected uranyl complexes in superc
ritical (ScF) CO2 have been quantified with time-resolved laser-induced flu
orescence (TRLIF). A variety of factors were found to affect the emission f
rom uranyl complexes in ScF including ligand, adduct, pressure, and tempera
ture. TRLIF was shown to allow on-line speciation and quantitative analysis
of uranyl complexes with different primary ligands in ScF CO2. The method
was applied to real-time analysis of multiligand uranium extractions from a
queous solutions with ScF CO2.
