Abstract: A sensitive twice dual-wavelength spectrophoto-metric method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of trace Hg and Pb,based on the formation of colour complexes of the two metals with meso-tetra-(p-trimethylammonium phenyl)porphyrin in 0.02mol/L NaOH medium. The molar absorptivities are 4.59?105 and 4.32?105L·mol-1·cm-1 for Pb and Hg respectively. The method gave satisfactory restilts in simultaneous determination of Pb and Hg in the tap water.

Key words: twice dual-wavelength spectrophotometry, Hg, Pb
