Co(II) ion was determined by a new, accurate, sensitive and rapid method via a
continuous flow injection analysis (CFIA) with a chemiluminescence reaction based on
the oxidation of Luminol which is loaded on poly acrylic acid gel beads by hydrogen
peroxide in presence of Cobalt (II) ion as a chemiluminescence catalyst. Chemical and
physical parameters were investigated to obtain the best conditions. Linear dynamic
range of Cobalt (II) ion was from 0.1-20.0 μg.ml-1 with a correlation coefficient r =
0.9758, limit of detection (L.O.D) 0.2 ng/sample from the step wise dilution of lowest
concentration in the calibration graph with the percentage relative standard deviation for
3 μg.ml-1 Co(ll) solution is 0.8537% (n=5). The method was applied successfully for the
determination of Co (II) ion in CoMo catalyst type ( K F124- 3E).
