Schematic of the SPE procedure for separation (with preconcentration) of Tl(III) from Tl(I) was developed and applied to direct speciation analysis of thallium in wastewater. Self-made columns packed with alumina coated with SDS were used. The method is resistant to interferences from Pb, Cd, Zn and tolerates a large excess of Tl(I) over Tl(III).
