Cobalt rarely occurs in natural water. It is used in the manufacture of alloys to
increase corrosion resistance and strength. It is found in wastewaters as a
corrosion by-product.
APPLICATION: Industrial wastewater.
RANGE: 0.00–2.00 Cobalt
METHOD: PAN (1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol) forms a greenish
complex with Cobalt (Co
+2 ) at a pH of 5.
SAMPLE
HANDLING &
PRESERVATION: Store samples in acid-washed plastic bottles. Adjust pH to
less than 2 with nitric acid. Adjust sample pH to 5 before
testing.
INTERFERENCES: Iron (+2) and high concentrations of heavy metals.
