ローダミンBと2-テノイルトリフルオロアセトンを用いたウランの抽出/蛍光定量

A method for the fluorornetric determination of uranium, based on a solvent extraction of an ion associate formed between Rhodamine B cation and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone(TTA)-metal chelate anion with benzene, is described. The procedure for the construction of the calibration curve is as follows. Varying amounts of uranium standard solution and 2 ml of 2 M ammonium acetate buffer solution are mixed. The solution is adjusted at pH 6.0 and 10 ml of 0.3% Rhodamine B are added. It is then shaken for 5 min with 10 ml of 0.01 M TTA benzene solution. The fluoresence of the organic phase is measured at 545 nm (excitation) and 570 nm (emission) for uranyl-TTA-Rhodamine B complex. The fluorescence intensity is linearly related to the concentration of uranyl ion in the range of 0.05 ppm to 1 ppm.
