Calculation of the Concentration of Uranium Absorption for both Roots, Stems and Leaves of the Alkalbutus Plant using Fluorometry Technique

Abstract

The research aims  at  measuring and calculating  the low concentrations of uranium in plants samples of the  roots, stems and leaves of the Alkalbutus trees in sites contaminated with uranium samples in Al-Tuwaitha site . It was prepared out of standard solutions of these samples after  incineration to conduct  measurement  using  florometry device . The result indicates that the  uranium concentrations in the  roots  absorption was higher than the concentrations in the plant stems and  this in turn higher than  in the leaves.

Key words: uranium , florometry device , uranium in plant
