“…Among them, Amberlite XAD resins were found to be promising neutral media for designing chelating resins because of their useful physical and chemical properties and their effective preconcentration applications to trace metal ions. 16,17,20,23,27 UV-Vis spectrophotometry based on the use of complex-forming reagents is selective, simple, rapid, versatile, and also a more economical technique as compared with AAS, HPLC, and ICP-MS protocols for the determination of heavy metals. 28 The strong metal-binding property of dithiocarbamates (DTCs) produces intensely colored complexes with certain metal ions.…”
