Mixed solvent was used to extract ion pairs formed from suitable cationic dye and sodium dodecyl sulfate in sea water. The extracts were used for spectrophotometric determinations. The extraction of ion pairs of various combinations is discussed. Ethyl violet and a mixture (1:1) of p ‐xylene and toluene are the most useful combination as the cationic dye and the extraction solvent. The extracts were determined spectrophotometrically at 611.2 nm; the molar absorptivity is 1.27 × 10 5 M −1 cm −1 . The detection limit is 2.0 ppb in water based on three times the standard deviation of the blank. Extraction with this mixed solvent is as rapid and sensitive as with the best single solvent.
