Amberlite XAD-2 functionalized with dithizone resin was packed in a minicolumn for flow injection. The pH, sample and eluent flow rates, and eluent concentration were optimized to ensure maximum recovery of Cu(II). The effect of concomittant ions on Cu (II) sorption was also investigated. The limit of detection and enrichment factor for a 180 s preconcentration time were 76 and 0.6 μg L -1 , respectively. The resin offered precision of 1.0 % for seven successive determinations of 100 μg L −1 Cu(II). The resin was used for more than 300 sorption and desorption cycles without appreciable loss of efficiency. The accuracy of the preconcentration procedure was confirmed by fortified recovery studies in industrial water with NIST certified copper nitrate with recovery exceeding 96 %. Validation was performed by the analysis of a standard reference material.
