Application of Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Combined with Direct Solvent Microextraction (DSME-FAAS) to Determine of Trace Amounts of Cobalt (II) as a Pollutant in Natural Water Samples
Abstract
AbstractFor determination of trace amounts of cobalt (II), a simple, sensitive and low cost method based on direct solvent microextraction (DSME) for preconcentration coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed. Firstly, 2-Nitroso-1-naphtol (2NP) as complexing agent with cobalt (II) to form an extractable complex which transfer from aqueous phase to an organic solvent. For this purpose, the effect of different parameters such as pH, concentration of ligand, type of buffer,...
