Adsorptive-cathodic-stripping voltammetry (AdCSV) using Metrohm's 797 VA Computrace enables the sensitive monitoring of uranium in drinking and mineral water.
The AdCSV method for the voltammetric determination of the uranium content is based on complexing U(VI) with chloranilic acid (CAA) at a pH between 1.8 and 2.5.
After preconcentration of the uranium-chloranilic acid complex at the working electrode, the uranium content can be determined down to the ng/L range by using the differential pulse-measuring technique (DP).
