PHOTOMETRIC TITRATIONS. V. A SELECTIVE, CHELOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF COBALT

Journal Article · · Talanta (England)

Cobalt can be titrated with good selectlvity by converting it with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium to the cobalt(Ill) EDTA complex and back- titrating photometrically inacid medium the excess EDTA with bismuth solution, usinb pyrocatechol violet as indicator. No interference is observed with alkalies, alkaline earths, Ni, Cu, Cd, Zn, Pb, Al, U, and W. Bi, Zr, In, Ga, and other ions forming very stable EDTA complexes are co-titrated. Mo, Fe Ag, and Hg interfere and should be separated. The interference of Mn can be excluded by addition of ascorbic acid. Th can be masked with sulfate. Cr(III) is co- titrated, but by applying a different method operating with two aliquots, both Cr and Co can be determined. Complexing anions interfere, as does chloride, which causes a turbidity with blsmuth. (auth)
