This study describes the development of vortex-assisted low density solvent and surfactant based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (VALS-DLLME) for Co(II) prior to its spectrophotometric detection. The method consisted of the complexation of Co(II) with pyrocatechol violet (PV) followed by the preconcentration of the Co(II)-PV complex using VALS-DLLME and then an absorption measurement at 600 nm. The optimum conditions for complex formation were a 1 : 3 mole ratio of Co(II) and PV at pH 7.5, while the conditions for VALS-DLLME were 300 mL 1-dodecanol as extraction solvent, and 300 mL acetonitrile as dispersive solvent under a vortex for 20 s with the addition of cationic surfactant (0.02 mmol L À1 CTAB). Under the optimum conditions, good linearity was in the range of 0.1-10 mg L À1 , the enrichment factor (EF) was 13.5 and the low limit of detection (LOD) was 0.04 mg L À1 . The method was applied to the analysis of Co(II) in water, green leaf vegetable and vitamin B 12 samples. The proposed method provided good recoveries in the range of 86-104%, which were comparable to those obtained from flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
