Summary

The radioactive tracer method has been applied for the investigation of the influence of citric acid and amino-acids on the coprecipitation yield of cobalt traces with aluminium hydroxide precipitates. Results indicate that the presence of citric acid decreases the coprecipitation yields when 7 > pH > 8.5. Amino-acids decrease the cobalt coprecipitation yield at pH values above their isoelectric point. However this could be valid only for amino-acid concentrations above 10−4 M. Results also indicate pH regions where certain cobalt species could be separately coprecipitated on the basis of different coprecipitation yields.

Zusammenfassung

Die Radio-Spuren-Methode wurde zur Untersuchung des Einflusses von Zitronensäure und Aminosäuren auf die Mitfällungsausbeute von Kobaltspuren mit Aluminiumhydroxid-Niederschlägen angewendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Gegenwart von Zitronensäure diese Ausbeuten bei 7 > pH > 8,5 vermindert. Aminosäuren setzen diese Ausbeuten bei pH-Werten über ihrem isoelektrischen Punkt gleichfalls herab. Dies gilt aber nur für Konzentrationen über 10−4 Mol Aminosäure/Liter. Außerdem weisen die Ergebnisse auf pH-Gebiete hin, wo bestimmte Kobalt-Spezies auf Grund verschiedener Mitfällungsausbeuten von einander getrennt werden können.
