The several fundamental parameters on the solvent extraction of Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with dithizone were investigated. The value of $K_{a1}/K_p$ of dithizone(at $25^{\circ}C$) between an aqueous phase and a chloroform was found to be $4.72{\times}10^{-11}$. And the mole ratios of metal ion to dithizone in its metal complexes were determined by mole ratio method. The extractibilities(%) for metal-dithizone chelates were obtained from the extraction equilibria of metal-dithizone complexes between an aqueous phase and a chloroform as follows. Co(II) : 92.3% at pH 8.0 : Cu(II) : 97.1% at pH 4.0 and Zn(II) : 99.0% at pH 7.0. And also, in optimum experimental conditions the extraction constants of Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were examined.

In this study, a dithizone extraction technique involving purge & trap GC-MS was developed for the determination of methylmercury in biological samples, especially blood and fish. After alkaline digestion, methylmercury in biological samples was extracted into dithizone and back-extracted into aqueous sulfide solution. The extracted methylmercury was converted to the volatile ethyl derivative, purged and trapped onto a solid-phase collection medium, and then introduced into the GC-MS system. The determined MDLs of the established method were 0.9 ng·g?1 for biological samples and its accuracy and precision were found to be 93% and 3.8%, respectively. The method was validated by analysis of CRMs such as SRM 966, BCR 463 and IAEA 407 and all analytical results were within certified ranges with average RSDs of less than 6%. The analytical results of field-sampled fish also showed that the method can be successfully used as an alternative for commonly used distillation method followed by GC-CVAFS detection.

Quantitative analytical condition for lead and cadmium in copper contained carbon materials using solvent extraction followed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry was studied. Copper contained carbon samples were dissolved by nitric acid-perchloric acid digestion. Lead and cadmium were determined after separation with KCN masked copper by an dithizone-chloroform solvent extraction. Recovery efficiency of analyte elements was satisfactory, and most of matrix elements causing interference could be effectively eliminated by the separation. Lead and cadmium were quantitatively determined without influence of sample matrix, by applying it procedure to artifact sample.

The extraction of trace cobalt, copper, nickel, cadmium, lead and zinc in urine samples of organic and alkali metal matrix into chloroform by the complex with a dithizone was studied for graphite furnace AAS determination. Various experimental conditions such as the pretreatment of urine, the pH of sample solution, and dithizone concentration in a solvent were optimized for the effective extraction, and some essential conditions were also studied for the back-extraction and digestion as well. All organic materials in 100 mL urine were destructed by the digestion with conc. $HNO_3$ 30 mL and 30% $H_2O_2$ 50 mL. Here, $H_2O_2$ was added dropwise with each 5.0 mL, serially. Analytes were extracted into 15.0 mL chloroform of 0.1% dithizone from the digested urine at pH 8.0 by shaking for 90 minutes. The pH was adjusted with a commercial buffer solution. Among analytes, cadmium, lead and zinc were back-extracted to 10.00 mL of 0.2 M $HNO_3$ from the solvent for the determination, and after the organic solvent was evaporated, others were dissolved with $HNO_3-H_2O_2$ and diluted to 10.00 mL with a deionized water. Synthetic digested urines were used to obtain optimum conditions and to plot calibration-eurves. Average recoveries of 77 to 109% for each element were obtained in sample solutions in which given amounts of analytes were added, and detection limits were Cd 0.09, Pb 0.59, Zn 0.18, Co 0.24, Cu 1.3 and Ni 1.7 ng/mL, respectively. It was concluded that this method could be applied for the determination of heavy elements in urine samples without any interferences of organic materials and major alkaline elements.

In this study, the extraction of Co(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) into chloroform solution of dithizone, distribution ratios, extractabilities and extraction rate constants of the metal complexes were compared in each case with which thiocyanate ion was or not used as the auxiliary ligand. The use of the thiocyanate ion increased threefold the distribution ratio for Co(Ⅱ) complex in a basic solution and twofold for Cu(Ⅱ) complex in a wide pH range. And the extractability was also augmented from about 90 to 99 for Co(Ⅱ) and from 95 to 99 for Cu(Ⅱ) in a given period. The extraction rate constants were $k_1\;:\;1.2{\times}10^5$, $k_2\;:\;1.34{\times}10^{17}\; mol^{-1}dm^3s^{-1}$ in case of Co(Ⅱ) and$k_1\;:\;1.1{\times}10^8$, $k_2\;:\;2.83{\times}10^{10}\; mol^{-1}dm^3s^{-1}$ in case of Cu(Ⅱ) on the extraction of dithizonate complexes into chloroform solution.

The extraction curve of metal ions with Amberite LAl-chloroform has been found to be more steeper than with Amberite LAl-xylene or hexane, and the extraction ratio of Zn (II) in 2M HCl solution is 98%. The extraction ratio of As (III) in 9~11M HCl soln., Sb (III) in 2~4M HCl soln., and Fe (III) in 6~10M HCl soln. are 100%. The separated elements from Bi metal were determined by colorimetry, Zn (III) with dithizone, As (III) with Gutzeit method, Sb (III) with brilliant green and Fe (III) with thiocyanate.

500 ml of a sample water was extracted with 10 ml of 0.01 % dithizone-$CHCl_3$three times. When $CHCl_3$ layer was back extracted with 10 ml of 0.1 N HCl containing mercuric ion, the free metal ions come into aqueous layer. The aqueous layer was added with 2 ml of 2 N KCl and was washed with 10 ㎖ of $CHCl_3$two times in order to remove the trace dithizone, and then was recorded square wave polarogram. The concentration of copper, lead and cadmium can be determined up to 3 ppb and that of zinc up to 14 ppb with an error of 10 %.

The preconcentration and determination of trace elements in water samples were studied by a solvent sublation utilizing dithizonate complexation. After metal dithizonates were formed, trace amounts of cadmium, cobalt, copper and lead were floated and extracted into small volume of a water-immiscible organic solvent on the surface of sample solution and determined in the solvent directly by GF-AAS. Several experimental conditions as formation condition of metal-dithizonate complexes, pH of solution, amount of dithizone, stirring time, the type and amount of surfactants, N2 bubbling rate and so on were optimized for the complete formation and effective flotation of the complexes. And also four kinds of light solvents were compared each other to extract the floated complexes, effectively. After the pH was adjusted to 4.0 with 5 M HNO3, 8.0 mL of 0.05% acetone solution of dithizone was added to 1.00 L water sample. The dithizonate complexes were flotated and extracted into the upper methyl isobutylketone (MIBK) layer by the addition of 2.0 mL 0.2% ethanolic sodium lauryl sulfate solution and with the aid of small nitrogen gas bubbles. And this solvent sublation method was applied to the analysis of real water samples and good results of more than 85% recoveries were obtained in spiked samples.

A simple and rapid technique for the separation and preconcentration of lead in water and biological samples has been devised. Preconcentrationis based on the depositionof analyte onto a column packed with dithizone immobilized on sodium dodecyl sulfate coated alumina at pH $\geq$ 3. The trapped lead is eluted with 5 mL of 4 M nitric acid and determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. A sample of 1 L, results in a preconcentration factor of 200 and the precision at 20${\mu}g$ $L^{-1}$ is 1.3%(n=8). The procedure is applied to tap water, well water, river water, vegetable extract and milk samples, and accuracy is assessed through recovery experiments and by independent analysis by furnace atomic absorption.
