适用范围：<p>This test method is applicable to uranium metal, uranium oxides and compounds soluble in nitric or sulfuric acid, and uranium solutions which can be converted to uranium oxide (U₃O₈) in a muffle furnace. It may be used to determine the impurities in uranium compounds as listed in Specifications C 753<astmref rid="a00001">, C 776<astmref rid="a00002">, C 788<astmref rid="a00003">, and C 967<astmref rid="a00005">.</p><p id="s00002">1.1 This test method describes the steps necessary for the preparation and determination of impurity metals in uranium metal and uranium compounds by DC arc emission spectroscopy.</p> <p id="s00003">1.2 The method is valid for those materials that can be dissolved in acid and/or converted to an oxide in a muffle furnace (see Practice C 1347<astmref rid="a00006">).</p> <p id="s00004">1.3 This method uses the carrier distillation technique to selectively carry the impurities into the arc, leaving the uranium oxide in the electrode. If it is necessary to determine the carrier metal(usually a silver or strontium, or gallium compound) as an impurity, another technique must be chosen for that element.</p> <p id="s10004">1.4 <span class="italic"><span class="italic">Units</span>8212;</span>The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
