A simple, novel and sensitive spectrophotometric method was described for the simultaneous determination of cobalt, nickel and palladium. The method is based on the complex formation of Co, Ni and Pd with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol (PAN) in Tween-80 micellar media.

A simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of Co(II) and Pd(II) using partial least square (PLS) calibration and H-point standard addition method is described. The method is based on the complex formation of Co(II) and Pd(II) with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) in acidic media and in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a micellizing agent. Acidic media and the presence of a micellar system improve selectivity and sensitivity, respectively. By applying PLS calibration, Co(II) and Pd(II) can be determined in the range of 0.20-2.0 and 0.40-4.0 microg ml(-1), respectively. The relative errors of prediction for the determination of Co(II) and Pd(II) in the 10 prediction samples were 1.69 and 1.72%, respectively. The results of applying H-point standard addition method show that Co(II) and Pd(II) can be determined simultaneously with concentration ratio of Co(II) to Pd(II) varying between 7:1 and 1:8 in the mixed samples. Both proposed methods (PLS and HPSAM) were applied to the determination of Co(II) and Pd(II) in several alloy solutions with satisfactory results.

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of mercury and palladium with Thio-Michler's Ketone using partial least squares regression and orthogonal signal correction

A simple, novel and sensitive spectrophotometric method was described for simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium. The method is based on the complex formation of mercury and palladium with Thio-Michler's Ketone (TMK) at pH 3.5. All factors affecting on the sensitivity were optimized and the linear dynamic range for determination of mercury and palladium found. The simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium mixtures by using spectrophotometric method is a difficult problem, due to spectral interferences. By multivariate calibration methods such as partial least squares (PLS), it is possible to obtain a model adjusted to the concentration values of the mixtures used in the calibration range. Orthogonal signal correction (OSC) is a preprocessing technique used for removing the information unrelated to the target variables based on constrained principal component analysis. OSC is a suitable preprocessing method for PLS calibration of mixtures without loss of prediction capacity using spectrophotometric method. In this study, the calibration model is based on absorption spectra in the 360-660 nm range for 25 different mixtures of mercury and palladium. Calibration matrices were containing 0.025-1.60 and 0.05-0.50 microg mL(-1) of mercury and palladium, respectively. The RMSEP for mercury and palladium with OSC and without OSC were 0.013, 0.006 and 0.048, 0.030, respectively. This procedure allows the simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium in synthetic and real matrix samples good reliability of the determination.

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of cobalt, nickel and copper with 2,3-quinoxaline- dithiol

In aqueous ethanol cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(I) react instantaneously with 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol at pH 2 to form strongly coloured complexes exhibiting absorption maxima at 510, 606 and 665, and 625 nm, respectively. At pH 6 the reaction of copper can be virtually eliminated, while the cobalt and nickel reactions show only small decreases in sensitivity. This behaviour has been made the basis of a rapid method for the simultaneous determination of these three elements. The absorbances of the complexes have been found to be additive for all combinations of these elements in which the individual concentrations have been varied from approximately 0.1 to 1 ppm. A least-squares estimate of the concentration of any of the elements may be readily obtained by using a simple linear equation based on the absorbance readings and a set of constants derived from the spectrophotometric data. The analyses of seven synthetic solutions and four NBS Standard Reference Materials yielded a maximum error of 6.0% and an average error of 1.6%.
