Abstract

Co is not coprecipitated with lanthanum hydroxide in ammonium hydroxide solution due to the formation of soluble salts of cobalt ammine complexes. This complexation reaction has been applied to the simultaneous determination of five trace impurities (As, Fe, Ti, V and Zr) in high-purity Co metal by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Warming the solution and double coprecipitation are effective for separating the trace elements simultaneously from a large amount of cobalt ammine complexes. Matrix-matched solutions are used for calibration. The detection limits of the five elements are in the range of 0.06 and 0.6 microg/g and the recoveries are quantitative.
