Abstract:

We represent an environmentally friendly sample of pre-treatment method, ultrasound assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) followed by gas chromatography nitrogen phosphorous detector (GC-NPD), to specify atrazine residues in environmental samples. Some parameters affecting the extraction efficiency such as the type and volume of the extraction solvent, emulsification time and addition of salt are optimized. According to the results, 30 µL of chlorobenzene was chosen as the extraction solvent and the required time for quantitative analysis was 5 minutes without ionic strength and pH adjustment. Under the optimum conditions, limit of detection (LOD) is 0.02 µgL-1 and the percentage of mean extraction efficiency for 3 µgL-1 of analyte is 93.3% with good precision about 2.5% for triplet analysis. The calibration curve is linear at the range of 0.1-600 µgL-1. The procedure is applied successfully for assessing a matrix effect on agricultural water samples and lettuce with relative recovery of 100.8-102.5% with precision in the range of 2.5-3.2%. The results have demonstrated a successful robustness of the method for rapid and quantitative determination of trace amounts of atrazine in environmental samples.

Ultrasound-assisted Emulsification Microextraction Method Based on Applying Low Density Organic Solvents as a Sensitive and Efficient Sample Preparation Method for Determination of Abamectin in Fruit Juice Samples

The analytical use of ultrasound-generated emulsations has recently found a growing interest to improve efficiency in liquid-liquid microextraction since they increase the mass transfer between the two immiscible phases implied and leads to emulsification. Thus, dispersed droplets can act as efficient liquid-liquid microextraction in continuous phase, and later they can be readily separated by ...

Development of ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction for the determination of trace zinc and copper by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

In this work, we developed a method based on ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) for the determination of zinc and copper by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The method is based on the use of the organic solvent carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as an extraction solvent. In order to obtain a high enrichment factor, the effect of different parameters affecting the c...
