Abstract

A new radiochemical method for determining trace amounts of cobalt has been worked out. It is based on a homogeneous isotope exchange between cobalt(III) diethyldithiocarbamate and cobalt(III) caprate in an organic phase. The method, tested in the range 0.005-8 μg Co, has proved to be selective.
