Notes:
This paper describes the simultaneous determination of cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and cadmium by spectrophotometry and the Kalman filter method. Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) react with 5-bromo-2-(2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) in the presence of cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium bromide (CPB) to form five different coloured ternary complexes. The absorption curves of these complexes overlap severely in the scanning range 500-620 nm. The Kalman filter algorithm is successfully applied to resolve the overlapped absorption curves and therefore makes the simultaneous determination of these metallic ions possible without tedious pretreatment. The proposed method is applied to analyse the titled elements in synthetic samples and in environmental samples such as hair, fingernail and river water samples with satisfactory results.
