Description
Summary:<p class="aresumo">The present study proposes a new method for cloud point preconcentration of Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions based on complex formed with [4,5-dimercapto-1,3-dithyol-2-thionate] and posterior determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The preconcentration of Pb<sup>2+</sup> was carried at pH 5.0 under following conditions: time and temperature of batch at 15 min. and 70<sup>o</sup>C, respectively, 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-114, 0.003 mol L<sup>-1</sup> acetate/acetic acid buffer solution, 1.0 x 10<sup>-5</sup> mol L<sup>-1</sup> DMIT and 0.5% (m/v) NaCl. Under the best analytical conditions the method provided a limit of detection of 2.85 mg L<sup>-1</sup> by preconcentrating 10.0 mL of sample and calibration curve ranging from 0 up to 650 mg L<sup>-1</sup> (r = 0.99945). The applicability of proposed method for Pb<sup>2+</sup> determination in natural waters without interferences was checked through addition/recovery tests.</p> <p class="akeyword"> </p>
