A straightforward method for the simultaneous determination of cobalt
and copper in binary mixtures by use of a diode-array detector
accommodated in a flow-through spectrophotometric sensor and
pyridoxal-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone as reagent is proposed. The coloured
complexes formed give extensively overlapped spectra that can only be
resolved from their first derivative. The method relies on integrated
preconcentration and detection in the flow cell that allows a high
sensitivity in the determination of the two metal ions with detection
limits of 0.03 µg ml
