- A simple, reliable and novel solid phase extraction procedure using the Empore chelating disk has been developed for determination of Tl(I) and Tl(III) in environmental water samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The influence of humic acids on separation/preconcentration of thallium species with the Empore chelating disk is investigated. The preconcentration factor and detection limit are 500 and 5 ng L-1, respectively. The recoveries are in the range 93-103% for mineral, pond, sea, snowmelt, waste waters at 28-500 ng L-1 Tl and in the range 82-112% for river waters at 18-28 ng L-1 Tl.
