A selective and effective column chromatographic separation method has been developed for uranium(VI) using poly[dibenzo-18-crown-6]. The separation was carried out in L-valine medium. The adsorption of uranium(VI) was quantitative from 1.0 x 10(-4) to 1 x 10(-1) M of L-valine. Amongst various eluents 2.0-8.0 M hydrochloric acid, 1.0-4.0 M sulfuric acid, 1.0-5.0 M perchloric acid, 6.0-8.0 M hydrobromic acid and 5.0-6.0 M acetic acid were found to be efficient eluents for uranium(Vl). The capacity of poly[dibenzo-18-crown-6] for uranium(VI) was 0.25 +/- 0.01 mmol/g of crown polymer. Uranium(VI) was separated from number of cations and anions in binary mixtures in which most of the cations and anions show a very high tolerance limit. The selective separation of uranium(VI) was carried out from multicomponent mixtures. The method was extended to determination of uranium(VI) in geological samples. The method is simple, rapid and selective with good reproducibility (approximately similar to 2%).
