Liquid chromatography of palladium and non-ferrous metal chelates with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol

1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol has been used for extraction concentration of palladium, copper, cobalt and nickel from aqueous solutions and subsequent separation of the chelates obtained, by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography. A technique for determining microamounts of palladium in aqueous solutions in the presence of 100-fold ratio of copper and 80-fold ratio of cobalt has been developed.

Separation of some platinum metal 8-hydroxyquinolinates by normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

The method of normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography has been applied to the separation and determination of Pd(II), Pt(II), Rh(III), Ir(IV), Ru(III) and Os(IV) as chelates with 8-hydroxyquinoline on a 62 x 2 mm column packed with Silasorb 600 5 mu silica gel by elution with methylene chloride-isopropyl alcohol mixture (97:3 v/v). The detection limits (ng per 5 mul), were Pd 0.3, Pt 1.0, Rh 1.0, Ir 5.0, Ru 1.5, Os 25. The separation time was 12 min at a flow-rate of 0.1 ml/min.
