In the present paper, a procedure for separation, preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of titanium in seawater samples by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) has been proposed. It is based on the complexation of , for a sample volume of 400 mL, considering the achieved enrichment factor of 80. The method was tolerant to other ions usually present in seawater samples. The procedure was applied to determine this element in seawater samples collected in beaches of the cities of Arembepe and Salvador, Bahia-Brazil.
