ABSTRACT:

An efficient procedure for pre-concentration, separation and determination of the trace amounts of lead (II) ions in water samples has been established. The analyte is adsorbed on the surface of C18 silica membrane disk modified with APDC, quantitatively, while other interfering ions pass through the disk to drain. The sorbed Pb2+ ions are then stripped by appropriate eluting agents followed by monitoring of the eluates by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The effects of sample pH, amount of the modifier, stripping agent types, sample flow-rates, and potential interfering ions were also investigated. The described method involves a pre-concentration factor of about 200. The detection limit of the procedure is 0.93 ng.mL-1. The method was employed for isolation and determination of lead in different water samples.
