Summary

A ligand exchange liquid/liquid extraction method using dithiocarbamate complexes is elaborated for the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) of seawater and marine interstitial water. Palladium is used for the exchange. This metal ensures a rapid and quantitative back-extraction. It simultaneously works as matrix modifier in the GF-AAS analysis. The proposed method is evaluated in the analysis of lead, copper, nickel, and cadmium in CASS-II marine reference seawater and samples from the North Sea. A microanalytical variant of the method is applied in marine interstitial water analysis down to sample volumes of 500 μl.
