A ligandless on-line solid phase extraction method was developed for the preconcentration of lead prior to quantitation by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. In this method, the sample solution was passed through a syringe membrane filter coated with graphitic carbon nitride and Pb(II) ions were directly adsorbed on the surface of g-C3N4 particles. The adsorbed Pb(II) ions were subsequently eluted from the membrane and transferred directly into the ICP-OES nebulizer with nitric acid solution. Under the optimized conditions and preconcentration of 25 mL of sample, the enhancement factor of 110 and the detection limit of 0.12 μg L-1 were obtained. The proposed procedure was applied for the preconcentration and determination of lead in environmental water samples.
