Abstract
Silica-based xerogels modified with various concentrations of cobalt ions were prepared. The redox and complexing properties of immobilized cobalt ions were studied. Modified xerogels were used for determining naphthols in solutions by solid-phase spectrophotometry after their nitrosation. The effects of various factors on the absorbance of xerogels were studied. These factors are the average pore diameter in powdered xerogels, the concentration of cobalt(III), the pH of the test solution, and the concentration of CH3COOH and NaNO2 at the stage of nitrosation. The best conditions for determining naphthols were found. The developed procedure was used in the analysis of various samples.
