Comparison of detection cells for chemiluminescent determination of cobalt ions
Dospělová, Veronika ; Hraníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Nováková, Eliška (referee)
In this thesis, a method for the determination of cobalt ions by sequential injection analysis was developed and optimized. The chemiluminescent reaction of luminol was used for the determination of cobalt ions, where its oxidation by hydrogen peroxide is catalysed by cobalt ions in a basic medium. The reaction is accompanied by the emission of radiation in the form of chemiluminescence, which is detected at a peak wavelength of 425 nm. The determination was carried out in several experimental setups with different types of detection cells. For each setup, the measurement conditions were optimized to achieve the highest and at the same time stable signal of the chemiluminescent radiation intensity. Subsequently, under the optimized conditions, the individual calibration dependencies were measured, and the basic measurement characteristics were determined. Based on these characteristics, the most suitable layout and type of detection cell were selected for which interference studies of selected major cations were measured. The developed method was applied to the determination of vitamin B12 samples. The vitamin molecule contains just one cobalt atom, which was released by different types of decomposition prior to determination.
