摘要
A simple and fast method for the extraction into xylene of sub mu g l(-1) concentrations of metals using ammonium diethyldithiophosphate (DDTP) as a complexing reagent and their subsequent determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry is described. The method was tested in sea water spiked with Au at a concentration of 3.0 mu g l(-1). The extraction was carried out until the aqueous to organic phase ratio achieved a 1000-fold preconcentration of metal. Optimisation of extraction parameters and the effect of Fe interference was investigated. Sea water samples spiked with Au produced an average recovery of 95% and the detection limit (3 sigma) in deionized water was 2.9 ng l(-1). High enrichment factors could be obtained due to the small final volume (mu l) of organic solvent. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
