A novel, single-step route has been developed for the synthesis of solid phase adsorbent silica modified with xylenol orange. The addition of cationic surfactant cetyl tri-methylammonium bromide during the synthesis of the adsorbent supports the formation of a stable coating of xylenol orange on silica. The adsorbent showed no signs of degradation in contact with organic solvents and with solutions of varying pH between 1 and 9. This adsorbent has been used for separation and pre-concentration of uranium from hydro-geochemical samples with high calcium content and from sea water. Quantitative sorption of uranium was observed above pH 3 and complete desorption can be achieved using 0.2 M sodium pyrophosphate solution. The uranium content in the extract was determined by laser fluorimetric technique. The equilibration time is 30 min. The sorption capacity of the adsorbent for uranium is 10 mg g(-1). An enrichment factor of 50 was obtained by this procedure taking 500 mL of sample solution. Uranium concentrations down to 0.05 ng mL(-1) can be determined after pre-concentration using this method. The relative standard deviation at an 0.1 ng mL(-1) level is +/- 15%.
