Liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction followed by gas chromatography (GC) or high-performance liquid chromatography are traditional herbicide residue determination methods for environmental samples. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a solventless, fast, and sensitive alternative herbicide residue extraction method that can be applied to numerous environmental matrices. The obje...

Since solid-phase and liquid-phase microextraction (SPME and LPME) were introduced, as effective solvent-free methods, many efforts have been made to improve their modes and applications. However, due to limitations with sensitivity and efficiency, researchers have focused on improving the performance of their basic primary modes. In this way, in recent years, different methods such as ultrason...

the task specific ionic liquid (tsil), tricaprylmethylammonium thiosalicylate ([a336][ts]),was synthesized, characterized and subsequently used as extraction solvent in dispersive liquid-liquidmicroextraction (dllme) technique. the tsil-dllme method followed by inductively coupled plasmaatomicemission spectrometry (icp-aes) was applied to determination of trace mercury (hg) and cadmium(cd) in a...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are classified as persistent and carcinogenic organic pollutants. PAHs contamination has been reported in water. Many of relevant regulatory bodies such as EU and EPA have regulated the limit levels for PAHs in drinking water. In this study, 13 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in tap water samples of Tehran and wat...

A green and efficient ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted in-situ solvent formationmicroextraction (IL-UA-ISFME) in combination with high-performance liquid chromatographyultravioletdetection (HPLC-UV) has been successfully developed for the trace determination offive selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental water samples. In thismethod, a hydrophobic ionic liquid (1...

A method for the determination of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water using portable gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed. A novel sample preparation method, liquid–liquid microextraction assisted solid phase microextraction (LLME–SPME), is introduced. In this method, 20 μL of hexane was added to 10 mL of TCE contaminated aqueous samples to assist headspace SPME. The extracti...

A selective and simple method for separation and preconcentration of zinc ions was developed by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. Parameters that have an effect on the microextraction efficiency such as volume of extraction and disperser solvent, extraction time, and adding salt were investigated. Under optimum conditions, a preconcentration factor of 250 was obtained. The limit o...
