A composite of MCM-41 silica with rice husk was modified with dithizone with the aid of microwave radiation. The modified composite was characterized by different techniques and utilized for preconcentration of Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺ prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The adsorption process is optimized to attain the maximum efficiency. The procedure presented satisfying uptake characteristics with maximum adsorption capacity of 142.7, 102.9 and 228.8 mg g⁻¹ towards Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺, respectively. The calibration graphs were linear up to 400 μg L⁻¹ for Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ and up to 800 μg L⁻¹ for Pb²⁺ with preconcentration factor of 240. The limits of detection were 0.28, 0.21 and 0.48 μg L⁻¹ for Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺, respectively. The optimized procedure was utilized for the preconcentration of Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in water and food samples prior to determination by FAAS with accepted precision and accuracy.
