Abstract
The determination of noble metals in environmental samples is of increasing importance. Palladium is often employed as a catalyst in chemical industry and is also used with platinum and rhodium in motor car catalytic converters which might cause environmental pollution problems. Two different sorbents for palladium preconcentration in different samples were investigated: silica gel functionalized with 1,5‐bis(di‐2‐pyridyl)methylene tbiocarbohydrazide (DPTH‐gel) and [1,5‐Bis(2‐pyridyl)‐3‐sulphophenyI methylene thiocarbonohydrazide (PSTH) immobilised on an anion‐exchange resin (Dowex 1×8‐200)]. The sorbents were tested in a micro‐column, placed in the auto‐sampler arm, at the flow rate 2.8 mL min^‐1^. Elution was performed with 4 M HCl and 4 M HNO~3~, respectively. Satisfactory results were obtained for two sorbents.
