A new method of cloud point extraction was determined for preconcentration and determination of different metal ions like copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) ions. The complexation has been done by bis(2-acetyl pyridine 4-phenyl 3-thiosemicarbazone) (APPT) using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as surfactant. Metal ions are extracted into the phase rich in SDS after centrifugation. Initially, micellar phase was dissolved in 10 mL of deionized water then acidified with 0.5 mol/L HNO3, enhanced the surfactant- rich phase and analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The effects of pH, the concen- trations of metal ions and chelating agent (APPT), volume of surfactant (SDS), equilibration temperature and time were studied on CPE. The preconcentration factor obtained was 25 and the limits of detection(DL) obtained for cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) were 1.5, 1.7 and 2.4 ng/mL, respectively. This method of preconcentration was effectively useful for the determination of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) in water samples.

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of the reagent 2-(5-bromothiazolylazo)-4-chlorophenol and its application in the development of a preconcentration procedure for cobalt determination using flame atomic absorption spectrometry after cloud point extraction is presented. This procedure is based on cobalt complexing and entrapment of the metal chelates into micelles of a surfactant-rich phase of Triton X-114. The preconcentration procedure was optimized by using a response surface methodology through the application of the Box-Behnken matrix. Under optimum conditions, the procedure determined the presence of cobalt with an LOD of 2.8 μg/L and LOQ of 9.3 μg/L. The enrichment factor obtained was 25. The precision was evaluated as the RSD, which was 5.5% for 10 μg/L cobalt and 6.9% for 30 μg/L. The accuracy of the procedure was assessed by comparing the results with those found using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. After validation, the procedure was applied to the determination of cobalt in pharmaceutical preparation samples containing cobalamin (vitamin B12).
