Studies have shown that hormones endocrine disrupting properties, which characterize them as potentially toxic to the aquatic environment. This study aims monitor water along Prosa Stream/Anhanduí River monthly, evaluate its contamination by 17β-estradiol (E2) and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2). Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) was used for analyte extraction, with acetone a dispers...

In this study, an analytical methodology based on a combination of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction with laser-induced breakdown spectrometry was evaluated for simultaneous pre-concentration, speciation and detection of Cr. The microextraction procedure was based on the injection of appropriated quantities of 1-undecanol and ethanol into a sample solution containing the complexes formed...

An efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction basedon solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFOD), combined with flame atomicabsorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amountsof cobalt in water samples. In this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and1-undecanol was injected rapidly into the aq...

In this study, a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction along with back-extraction step (DLLME-BE) has been developed for the determination of thre antidepressant drugs (citalopram, sertraline, and venlafaxine) in biological samples prior to HPLC-UV. Briefly, method involved two main steps: first, deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr as agent) 1-dodecanol (as...

Background: Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) products. Several pharmaceutical products have been stored in PET containers, and due to serious health effects of phthalates, migration levels of them into pharmaceutical products must be determined. In the present study, leaching levels of four common phthalate esters including di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP...

Direct analysis of samples, regardless their origin, is desirable although for the majority of cases unfeasible on account of the complexity of the sample matrix, inadequate concentration of the target analytes, or even incompatibility with the detector. In these cases, a sample pretreatment step is required for interference removal and analytes separation/preconcentration. Despite valuable adv...

In this paper, a new simple and effective method based on dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction procedure is proposed for rapid and simultaneous separation and preconcentration of ultra trace amounts of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX) in non-alcoholic Beer samples. In this experiment, a glass syringe was used as extraction unit. With this simple configuration, the centrifu...
