Abstract
Cupferron derivatives were synthesized and wed as collectors for uranium in the bench‐scale flotation of a uranium ore from Cluff Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. All the derivatives were found to be more effective than cupferron itself. For alkyl‐substituted cupferrons, uranium recovery increased with an increase in alkyl chain length, with p‐nonylcupferron having a uranium recovery of 82% in 25% floated mass. Among the halogen‐substituted cupferrons, para‐substituted compounds performed better than meta‐substituted compounds. Although uranium recovery was only 50%, in the case of p‐methoxycupferron, the mass floated was as low as 8% of the feed. Separation efficiencies were correlated with Hammett sigma values.

## Abstract This work reports the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) for the determination of uranium on a preplated rotating‐disk bismuth‐film electrode (BiFE). The principle of the method relied on the complexation of U(VI) ions with cupferron and the subsequent adsorptive accumulatio
