The application provides a method for determining the content of
cobalt and
nickel in a plating layer, relates to the technical field of plating layer
component analysis, and adopts
nitric acid to heat and digest the plating layer sample, so that
cobalt and
nickel are completely dissolved in the form of ions, and a to-be-measured
mother liquor is prepared by constant volume; a buffer color developing solution with a pH value of 8-12 and containing
disodium EDTA and
ammonium chloride is prepared,
cobalt and
nickel standard samples and the to-be-measured
mother liquor are respectively combined with the buffer color developing solution to develop color, the
absorbance is measured at the characteristic absorption
wavelength of cobalt and the characteristic absorption
wavelength of nickel, the interference correction coefficient is obtained according to a
standard curve, the concentration of cobalt and
nickel ions in the to-be-measured
mother liquor is calculated according to the
absorbance and the interference correction coefficient, and the content of cobalt and nickel in the plating layer is converted by combining the
sample weight and the constant volume. The application does not need large and expensive instruments, has low
reagent cost, is simple to operate, has a
relative standard deviation of detection of less than or equal to 2%, a
standard addition recovery of 98%-102%, high precision and high accuracy, and is suitable for batch and normal detection of
electroplating enterprises and detection institutions.
