Abstract

Amino silica gel functionalized with 2-hydroxy-5 -(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzoic acid was synthesized, characterized and used as adsorbent for the removal of Ga³⁺, In³⁺ and Tl³⁺ from aqueous solution prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Experimental parameters that affect the separation process were investigated in both batch and column modes. The maximum adsorption capacities of the sorbent are 61.7 mg g⁻¹, 81.3 mg g⁻¹ and 133.0 mg g⁻¹ for Ga³⁺, In³⁺ and Tl³⁺, respectively. The preconcentration factor is 200 and the limits of detection of Ga³⁺, In³⁺ and Tl³⁺ are 4.10 μg L⁻¹, 1.55 μg L⁻¹ and 1.21 μg L⁻¹, respectively. Interference by Al³⁺ can be masked by the addition of F⁻; and that of Fe³⁺ by its reduction to Fe²⁺ using 10% ascorbic acid. The method was successfully applied for the determination of these ions in water, sediments and liquid crystal display samples.
