ABSTRACT
A new method using Nd(III) absorption peak as a probe is described for the measurement of nitric acid concentration in aqueous solution. The hypersensitive peak of Nd(III) at 575.1 nm shows a substantial enhancement in the absorbance in comparison to other absorption peaks with increasing nitric acid concentration. The integrated area and absorbance of this hypersensitive peak show a linear dependency over a large dynamic range of 0.5-15.5 M of nitric acid. A methodology for the correction of spectral interference to the probing absorption peak of Nd(III) is also reported. The method is applied for the measurement of nitric acid in synthetic high level liquid waste solution and shown to be comparable to that obtained by titrimetric method. The present method can be easily adopted for the measurement of nitric acid concentration in aqueous raffinate solutions of nuclear reprocessing streams.
