title: Detection and spectrophotometric determination of cobalt with dimedone dioxime.
abstract: Dimedone dioxime forms coloured complexes only with cobalt, nickel and copper ions in alkaline solution. Acidification and solvent extraction enables cobalt (1-50 mug) to be determined spectrophotometrically without interference. A specific spot test for cobalt is based on the same reaction.
