    Abstract:
    A new sample preparation and preconcentration technique - solid phase microextraction (SPME) - is reported for the application of several tinorganic compounds and tetrabutyllead in aqueous samples. The solvent-free procedure is rapid in comparison with liquid-liquid extraction or SFE but also sensitive. Analytical variables of the extraction such as adsorption and desorption time, stirring rate and temperature has been investigated. The determination has been performed by GC coupled with atomic emission detection (AED). After optimization of the conditions of SPME a calibration was realized on the basis of a multicomponent standard solution, prepared by ethylation of organotin salts directly in the sample using sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt(4)) without prior separation of the analytes from the matrix. The method permits preconcentration. Values of about 10 can be reached. A detection limit of 0.09 pg Sn and 0.08 pg Pb can be achieved under optimized conditions. The proposed procedure has been successfully applied to the analysis of organotin compounds in various slurry samples.
