Abstract

A methodology was developed about lead preconcentration in water samples that were added
dithizone as complexing agent, previously dissolved in the nonionic surfactant Triton X-114,
until the formation of the critical micelle concentration and the cloud point temperature. The
centrifuged system gave a precipitate with high concentrations of Pb (II) that was measured
by atomic absorption spectroscopy with flame (EAAF). The method has proved feasible to
be implemented as a method of preconcentration and analysis of Pb in aqueous samples with
concentrations less than 1 ppm. Several parameters were evaluated to obtain a percentage
recovery of 89.8%.
