title: A wet chemical method for the estimation of carbon in uranium carbides.
abstract: A wet chemical method for the estimation of carbon in uranium carbides has been developed, based on oxidation with a saturated solution of sodium dichromate in 9M sulphuric acid, absorption of the evolved carbon dioxide in a known excess of barium hydroxide solution, and titration of the excess of barium hydroxide with standard potassium hydrogen phthalate solution. The carbon content obtained is in good agreement with that obtained by combustion and titration.
