A simple and sensitive flow injection analysis-atomic absorption spectrometric procedure is described for the determination of cobalt. The method is based upon on-line preconcentration of cobalt on a microcolumn of 2-nitroso-1-naphthol immobilized on surfactant coated alumina. The trapped cobalt is then eluted with ethanol (250 mul) and determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The analytical figures of merit for the determination of cobalt are as follows: detection limit (3 S), 0.02 ng ml(-1); precision (RSD), 2.8% for 20 ng ml(-1) and 1.7% for 70 ng ml(-1) of cobalt; enrichment factor, 125 (using 25 ml of sample). The method has been applied to the determination of cobalt in water samples, vitamin B-12 and B-complex ampoules and accuracy was assessed through recovery experiment and independent analysis by furnace AAS.
