Abstract Column solid-phase extraction using TiO2 (anatase) as a solid sorbent was applied to preconcentrate traces of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb from AR grade alkali salts prior to their measurements by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Multi-element preconcentration was achieved from NaCl, KCl, KNO3, NaNO3, CH3COONa, NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 solutions, whereas the sorption of trace elements from phosphates and sulfates is not quantitative. Optimal conditions (recoveries of the analytes 〉95%) for solid-phase co-extraction of the most common heavy metal ions are proposed. The conditions for quantitative and reproducible elution and subsequent AAS are established. A method of determination of trace elements in different salts is proposed. It is characterized by precision, reproducibility and a high preconcentration factor. The solid-phase extraction by TiO2, combined with ETAAS allows the determination of 0.1 ng g-1 Cd, 2 ng g-1 Co, 1 ng g-1 Cu and Ni, 0.5 ng g-1 Mn and 0.4 ng g-1 Pb.
