Glyoxime, dimethyl-, complexes with cobalt

Nickel may he measured quantitatively hy several microanalytical gravimetric methods that include (l)formation of a red precipitate with dimethyl-glyoxime, (2) precipitation as a hlack sulfide with ammonium sulfide, (3) precipitating as a complex cyanide hy treating with alkali cyanide and bromine, and (4) precipitation as a yellow complex hy treating an ammoniacal solution of nickel with dicyandiamide sulfate (Grossman s reagent), followed hy the addition of potassium hydroxide. All of these methods can separate nickel from cobalt in solution.
