Determination of Uranium (VI)-Speciation in Natural Occurring Waters by Time-resolved Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Method of Time-resolved Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLFS) is explained, and illustrated with U(VI) measuring results gained from surface water and soil water samples originated from the area of the former uranium mining heap "Gessenhalde" close to Ronneburg in Eastern Thuringia. Comparative former TRLFS measuring results gained from several uranium mining tailing waters and from further water samples are shown.
