{Abstract}: This study describes the development of 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole modified-amide/imide co-polymers for the extraction/pre-concentration of trace As(III), from edible vegetable oils. Their characterization was realized by help of instrumental techniques. The method is based on pH-dependent complexation between As(III) and co-polymeric chelators in presence of 35-fold excess As(V), their selective extraction into the mixed micellar phase, and detected at pH 2.0 and 6.0 by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The variables affecting extraction efficiency were optimized. From pre-concentration of 20-mL sample, the good linear relationships were obtained in range of 1-40 and 3-75 µg/L with DLs of 0.32 and 1.00 µg/L. The accuracy was verified by analysis of a certified sample without and with spiking. The method was applied into the analysis of iAs levels of samples. The results show that the functional co-polymers are efficient chelators, and exhibit great potential for the selective extraction of As(III) from edible vegetable oils.
