Summary

The effects of cobalt(II) and surfactants on the decomposition of various xanthene dyes by hydrogen peroxide have been systematically investigated. A simple and highly sensitive spectrophotometric determination of cobalt(II) (0.05 ∼ 1.2 Μg/10 ml) is proposed. The method is based on the catalytic effect of cobalt(II) on the oxidation of o-hydroxyhydroquinonephthalein (Qnph) by hydrogen peroxide. The proposed catalytic spectrophotometric determination was sensitive, selective, reproducible and virtually unaffected by the presence of other ions; the effective molar “desorptivity” was 4.2×108 l/mol per cm, Sandell sensitivity was 0.15 pg/cm2, and the relative standard deviation was 3.2% at 0.6 ng/10 ml (n=5). The selective assays of cobalt(II) in water samples were also investigated with satisfactory results (95% ∼ 101%).
