Abstract:
A simple SPE method for determination of cobalt(II) using a C18 bonded silica membrane disk impregnated with Cyanex 272 has been developed. Cobalt(II) was quantitatively sorbed at pH 6.0 from a sample solution and eluted using 10.0 mL 1.0 M HNO3 prior to its flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination. The influence of eluting agents, the minimum volume and maximum flow rate of the eluent, and interfering ions on cobalt(II) was studied. The method developed for cobalt(II) had an LOD of 1.4 microg/L, and a preconcentration factor > 200 with an RSD of 0.6%. The reusability of the modified disk was for 40 cycles. The method was applied for the determination of cobalt in certified samples, urine, and industrial sludge samples.
