Zusammenfassung

Kobaltspuren in Meerwasser wurden angereichert durch Behandlung des angesÄuerten Wassers mit einem stark basischen Anionenaustauscher in Gegenwart von Thiocyanat. Adsorbiertes Kobalt wird mit 2 M PerchlorsÄure abgelöst. Eisen wird anschlie\end durch Anionenaustausch aus 6 M salzsaurer Lösung entfernt. Kobalt wird im Eluat spektralphotometrisch mit 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcin in Gegenwart von ÄDTA und KCN bestimmt. Das Verfahren gestattet eine selektive Kobaltbestimmung in Meerund Sü\wasser bei Verwendung von 2 l-Proben. Der Variationskoeffizient betrÄgt etwa 10% bei 0,1–0,2 Μg Co/l.

Summary

Traces of cobalt in sea water have been preconcentrated by anion-exchange from acidified sea water in the presence of thiocyanate. Cobalt adsorbed on the resin column is stripped by elution with 2 M perchloric acid. Accompanying iron is removed subsequently by anion-exchange from 6 M hydrochloric acid medium. Cobalt in the eluate is determined spectrophotometrically with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol in the presence of EDTA and potassium cyanide. The anion-exchange — PAR method allows to determine cobalt very selectively in sea as well as non-saline waters on a 2 l sample basis. The method gives a coefficient of variation of ca. 10% at a cobalt level of 0.1–0.2 Μg per liter.
