Summary

A novel methodology for uranium preconcentration in urine samples was introduced. The present technique is based on the use of a selective membrane as a mean of uranium preconcentration. Various complexing membranes were prepared for this purpose. After the selection of the most efficient membrane, certain analysis factors were tested to optimize uranium membrane complexation and analysis. The equilibration time was also examined. After the separation of uranium, the radioactive sources were prepared by electrodeposition on stainless steel plates. Uranium recovery was determined by alpha spectrometry.
