Abstract A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method had been applied to speciate chromium in natural and wastewater samples. MWCNTs@CuAl 2 O 4 @SiO 2 nanocomposite was synthesized by sol–gel and calcination methods and then characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. MWCNTs@CuAl 2 O 4 @SiO 2 was used to extract Cr(VI) as pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate chelates. Some analytical parameters involving pH, ligand (APDC) and adsorbent amounts, sample initial and final volume, and the effects of m
