Abstract

A method for the trace analysis of rhodamine and eosine with colorimetric measurements based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) by transparent polymethacrylate matrix (PMM) is described. Solid-phase extraction on PMM allowed a 380-fold enrichment of the dyes if 10 mL sample volume is used with extraction efficiencies 98%. The method enables the determination of rhodamine to 0.06 mg/L and eosine to 1.2 mg/L combined with a fast and easy sample-preparation (pH-adjusting prior to SPE). Simultaneous extraction and determination of rhodamine and eosine in reservoir samples with high salinity confirmed the applicability and reproducibility of the method. Batch adsorption results indicated that Langmuir isotherm described the adsorption isotherms better.
