“…3 Many methods have been developed for the determination of uranium, based on different techniques, such as ion selective electrodes, 4,5 nuclear techniques, 6 inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry, 7,8 electrochemistry, 9-11 uorimetry 12,13 and spectrophotometry. [14][15][16] These methods are either time consuming, involving multiple sample manipulations or too expensive for most analytical laboratories. It is worth mentioning that the development of optical sensors has now become a rapidly expanding area of analytical chemistry, because they offer the advantages of simple preparation, reasonable selectivity and sensitivity and no need for separate reference devices.…”
