Abstract

A substoichiometric extraction method with nitroso-R salt (NRS) has been studied for the determination of trace Co in crud. The Co-NRS complex is extracted substoichiometrically into Capriquat-CHCl3 at pH 6.5-9.0 in 20 min of shaking time. The analytical results obtained by the method are within 3% of relative error in the determination range of 5 to 50 micrograms. The proposed method is simple and has sensitivity of 0.5 micrograms, though Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) seriously interfere. The results applied for the determination of trace Co in crud are described.
