“…The choice of solid phase adsorbents is a decisive factor that affects analytical sensitivity and selectivity (Camel, 2003;Liang & Chen, 2005). As solid phase material, silica gel (Tokalıoglu, Oymak, & Kartal, 2004), activated carbon (Jiang, Wu, Liu, Xia, & Wang, 2008), Amberlite XAD resins (Sharma & Pant, 2009;Tokalıoglu, Büyükbas ß, & Kartal, 2006), naphthalene (Pancras & Puri, 2002) and nanomaterial (Zhai et al, 2006) have been widely used for preconcentration and determination of trace metal ions. There is little research for the determination by solid phase extraction of the copper and iron contents in various food samples commonly consumed in Turkey.…”
