V. Maheswari et N. Balasubramanian, SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF COBALT WITH NITROSOCHROMOTROPIC ACID, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 351(2-3), 1995, pp. 333-335
A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace a
mounts of cobalt based on the complex formation with nitrosochromotrop
ic acid in ammoniacal medium is described. After its extraction as thi
ocyanate complex into isobutylmethyl ketone, cobalt is stripped into n
itrosochromotropic acid in ammonia buffer. The method has been applied
to the determination of cobalt in mild steel, ferrous alloys and mult
ivitamin preparations.
