A Cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure was presented for preconcentration of lead(II) ions, after complexation by 18-crown-6 (18C6) and extraction with Triton X-100 at proposed experimental conditions. After separation of surfactant - rich phase, content of Pb(II) ions in remaining solution was measured by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). The experimental conditions such as pH, temperature, concentration of Triton X-100, concentration of 18C6, incubation time, type and concentration of added electrolyte, were evaluated. Results showed that among investigated electrolytes (NaCl, Na2SO4 and Na2CO3) the amount of 0.9 mol/L Na2CO3 lowers cloud point temperature of Triton X-100 to 22?C (room temperature during the experiment), thus simplifying the extraction procedure. After an incubation time of 5 minutes and using the concentration of 1.2?10-3 mol/L Triton X-100 and 1.5?10-4 mol/L 18C6 (1:1 stoichiometric ratio for 18C6:Pb), 60% of lead (II) ions were efficiently removed from investigated solution.
