Chelating reagents impregnated or incorporated into solid sorbents have been widely used in the preconcentration of metal species. In this work, polystyrene-divinylbenzene functionalized with 2-hydroxyacetophenone was used for the preconcentration and determination of cadmium, cobalt, and nickel in sediment samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The sorbent was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The influence of variables on the extraction of the metal ions was studied. Under optimized conditions, the method showed enrichment factors of 20 (Cd), 37 (Co), and 32 (Ni) and detection limits of 0.1 (Cd), 0.8 (Co), and 0.6 μg L⁻¹(Ni). The accuracy of the method was tested by analysis of a certified reference material composed of inorganics in marine sediment (NIST 2702). The method was applied to the determination of cadmium, cobalt, and nickel in real sediment samples. Cadmium and cobalt were not found in the sediment samples. Nickel was found in two samples (5.2 and 8.2 μg g⁻¹).
