Abstract
A substoichiometric radiochemical solventextraction method is described for the determination of cobalt, employing β-hydroxy-naphthaldoxime and chloroform as reagent and extractant, respectively. The extraction behaviour of the complex of cobalt with the reagent in the pH-range 8–9.5 and the effects of various metal ions on the extraction are critically studied. The method is used to determine the cobalt content in some pharmaceutical drugs.
