A sensitive, simple, selective spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination Cobalt (II) with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2 naphthol (PAN). This method ralies on the formation of stable red colored complex at pH=4.1 which has an absorption maximum at 580nm.
A new carbon paste electrode (CPE) for Co2+ ion modified with
complex of Cobalt(II) with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) as
electroactive 84aterial was prepared. The best performances were
obtained by carbon paste electrode with the composition Graphit
powder (47%), DOPH as plasticizer (47%) and Co-PAN as
electroactive material (6%)
