M. Soylak et al., DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNTS OF COBALT IN NATURAL-WATER SAMPLES AS 4-(2-THIAZOLYLAZO) RECORCINOL COMPLEX AFTER ADSORPTIVE PRECONCENTRATION, Analytical letters, 30(3), 1997, pp. 623-631
A chromatographic method has been established for the determination of
trace amounts of cobalt by preconcentration on Amberlite XAD-16 resin
as cobalt/4-(2-Thiazolylazo) resorcinol (TAR) complexes. The conditio
ns (e.g. pH, resin amounts, matrix ions) affecting the recovery of cob
alt from aqueous solution were studied. The method has been employed f
or the determination of cobalt in natural water samples.
