Reaction Steps

Potassium uranyl nitrate was prepared by a minor variation in the method recorded by Allpress et al (Australian J. Chem., volume 12, page 569, 1959). Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate and potassium nitrate were weighed out in stoichiometric amounts and dissolved in concentrated nitric acid. The volume of the solution was reduced with a water aspirator until crystals began to form. The solution was then cooled to - 10° C. and the resultant yellow-green strongly fluorescent crystals were filtered and air dried. The analysis of this material was as follows: Calculated for potassium uranyl nitrate: U - 48.07; K - 7.90. Found: U - 48.02; K - 7.82.
