A simple, rapid and direct spectrophotometric method using n-amylthiog
lycolate has been developed for the simultaneous spectrophotometric de
termination of nickel and palladium. The molar absorptivities are calc
ulated to be 0.45 x 10 4 l mol(-1)cm(-1) and 0.73 x 10 4 l mol(-1)cm(-
1) for nickel and palladium respectively. Various parameters, includin
g the concentration of n-amylthioglycolate, effect of pH and interfere
nce by diverse ions have been studied to optimize the simultaneous det
ermination of nickel and palladium in synthetic mixtures and various a
lloys.
