Cobalt (0-120 mu g) can be determined spectrophotometric ally at 625 n
m after its extraction as benzyltributyl ammonium tetrathiocyanatocoba
ltate(II) into chloroform at pH 7. The effects of pH, diverse ions and
masking studies are reported. The method has been applied to the dete
rmination of cobalt (0.2-10.0%, w/w) in high speed tool steels without
prior separation of iron, and in vitamin B12. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scien
