Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of spectroscopic studies focused on the determination of heavy metal ions, specifically Cu(II), Zn(II), and Fe(III), in environmental samples using preconcentration techniques prior to analysis. Particular emphasis is placed on sorption-atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results and performance characteristics of various analytical methods for heavy metal ion determination are compared. Furthermore, the comparative characteristics of different studied methodologies involving the use of various sorbents and reagents are presented.
