Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the extraction and determination of 10 β2-agonists in animal urine. Some experimental parameters, such as the type and volume of the extraction solvent, the concentration of the dispersant, the salt concentration, the pH value of the ...

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are the potential group of chemicals used to improve agricultural productivity. The extensive use of pesticides to improve agricultural productivity played an important role in the last century. These compounds have been applied for decades in preventing, repelling or mitigating the effects of pests. OCPs are one of the most persistent organic pollutants present...

This work explores chelating capabilities of 1-butyl-2-diphenylphosphino-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BDPPIMPF6) as a task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL) for metal extraction/preconcentration procedures. To this end, extraction by BDPPIMPF6 21 elements (Ag, Al, As, Au, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ir, Mn, Ni, Pb, Pd, Pt, Re, Rh, Ru, Sc, Ti, V, and Zn) were evaluated. TSIL specifically forms comple...

An efficient dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using tetraalkylammonium bromide coated silver nanoparticles (DLLME-AgNPs) prepared in chloroform has been successfully applied as electrostatic affinity probes to the microextraction and preconcentration of terazosin prior to spectrofluorimetry analysis. This technique is based on a ternary system of solvents, where appropriate amount of mi...

background and objectives: furfural (f) and hydroxymethyl furfural (hmf) are cyclic aldehydes, which are formed during the heat processing of foods. these chemical contaminants have received much attention due to their suspected health hazards and heat damage indicators. the aim of the present study was extraction and determination of f and hmf in baby-foods using dispersive liquid-liquid micro...

A very simple, rapid and sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was developed for the determination of phenol and carvacrol in honey samples. A mixture of 100 µl dichloromethane (extraction solvent) and 0.5 ml acetonitrile (disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into sample solution. Thereby a cloudy sol...

In this research, a Dispersive Liquid-Liquid MicroExtraction (DLLME) method coupled to UV-vis spectrophotometry was developed for the indirect determination of silver ion. The method is based on the catalytic effect of the silver ion on the oxidation of congo red by potassium peroxodisulphate and extraction with DLLME procedure using chloroform (extraction solvent) containing cetyltrimethyl...

A reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (RP-DLLME) method coupled to HPLC was developed for the extraction of hydroxytyrosol (HTy) and tyrosol (Ty) from virgin olive oil. In this first application of the RP-DLLME method to non-polar samples, the phenolic compounds were directly extracted into an aqueous micro-drop, which could be injected into a chromatography column without a...

A novel and low solvent consumption method for the sensitive determination of fungicide residues in wine samples is proposed. Analytes were extracted by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and further determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Under optimized conditions, a binary mixture of acetone and 1-undecanol (0.5 and 0.05 mL, respectively) was used to extract...
