Popis: A nanocomposite modified with dibenzo-18-crown-6 was synthesized and applied as a new sorbent for the preconcentration of thallium(I) via ultrasound assisted-solid phase extraction. This extraction step was combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry to determine ultra-trace amounts of thallium(I). The nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Under the optimized conditions, a dynamic linear range from 7.0 to 435 ng L−1, a detection limit of 1.8 ng L−1 and a quantification limit of 6.0 ng L−1 were obtained. Also, the intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations for 20.0 ng mL−1 Tl(I) were calculated as ±4.8% and ±5.1%, respectively. The adsorbent was applied to the determination of thallium(I) in the environmental, biological and standard samples with satisfactory results.
