Sorption of some trace metal ions (Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Co) after compl
exation with sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate (Na-DDTC) on Amberlite XAD
-16 was investigated in the pH range 2-10. All these metals were retai
ned from pH 3 to 6. The retained metals can be eluted with various elu
ting agent such as 1 M nitric acid in acetone, 3 M nitric acid in etha
nol. The method was applied to trace metal ions in surface sea water s
amples from Mersin Bay (Mediterranean Sea), Turkey. The relative stand
ard deviations of the determination were less than 8%.
