A method is proposed and explored for speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), selective extraction and preconcentration in various water samples based on dynamic and static techniques. Three newly designed alumina phases-physically adsorbed-2-pyridenecarboxyladehyde-thiosemicarbazone [Al-2PC-TSC (I-III)] were synthesised and characterised. Stability tests and application of [Al-2PC-TSC (I-III)] as inorganic ion exchangers and chelating solid sorbents for various metal ions were studied and evaluated. The distribution coefficient and separation factors of chromium species versus other interfering metal ions were determined to examine the incorporated selectivity into these alumina phases. Quantitative recovery of Cr(VI) was accomplished by [Al-2PC-TSC (I-III)] at pH = 1.0 while Cr(III) was found to be quantitatively recovered on these sorbents at pH = 7.0 with minimal or no interference between these two species under the studied buffering conditions. Selective solid phase speciation and preconcentration of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in various real water samples were successfully performed and accomplished via a micro-column, with 200 as a preconcentration factor. Selective speciation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) via preconcentration from seawater and industrial water samples by alumina phases in pH = 1 was found to give percentage recovery values of Cr(VI) in the range 93.5-97.3 +/- 3.0-5.0% and 94.0-97.5 +/- 3.0-4.0%, for seawater and industrial water samples, respectively.
