Continuous Cobalt (Co) Analyzer | SEIBOLD

Cobalt (Co) can come from the following sources:

• Natural sources: In the environment, sources include soil, dust, seawater, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires.
• Industries: Cobalt is used in the manufacture of alloys, hard metals, and magnets.
• Drinking water: A maximum concentration of 0.01 mg/L is recommended.

As a component of vitamin B12, cobalt is an essential element, and so far, no other physiological role of cobalt in human nutrition has been proven.

Measurement method: It is based on measuring metal ions in wastewater and their reaction with reactive dyes using spectrometric measurement. The changes in visible light intensity through a cuvette containing samples formed of complex metals are measured to obtain a proportional concentration of metals.
