RESUMEN
An effervescent tablet-assisted switchable solvent based liquid phase microextraction (EA-SS-LPME) was developed for multi-element determination of Pb and Cd in various samples using high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HR-CS-FAAS). The effervescent tablets were used for improving the extraction efficiency. Triethylamine as a hydrophobic solvent was switched to protonated triethylamine carbonate by CO2 and used to extract dithizone complexes from samples. Calibration linearities were obtained from 0.06 to 10.0 mg L-1 (Pb) and 0.02 to 1.50 mg L-1 (Cd). LODs of the proposed method were 0.0195 (Pb) and 0.0068 (Cd). LOQs were 0.0649 mg L-1 (Pb) and 0.0228 mg L-1 (Cd) with %RSDs of 1.25%-1.69% (Pb) and 1.07%-1.64% (Cd). The proposed method was applied for the determination of Pb and Cd in water and canned food samples. The spiked recoveries were 82.3-119.0% (Pb) and 81.7-120.0% (Cd). In addition, the PF was 3.3, with EF at 1.4 (Pb) and 2.6 (Cd) obtained after extraction for under 8 min.

Magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction (MdSPE) was developed to determine the concentration of lead (Pb) in real water samples, while graphene oxide-magnetite-dithizone (GO-Fe3O4-DTZ) from the used graphite tubes (recycled graphite) of electrothermal technique was simply employed as a new sorbent to improve extraction efficiency, separated by external magnetic field and analyzed with FAAS. The synthesized sorbent was evaluated for its surface property, functional group and surface morphology by Zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The relevant measurement parameters, such as pH, extraction time, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume and reusability, were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, preconcentration factor was 13.33. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) obtained were 0.070 and 0.23 mg/L, respectively. The relative standard deviation (%RSD) was 3.41%. Recovery values were 90.1 - 123%. In addition, the robustness of the method was affirmed in terms of tolerance limit obtained from interference studies.
RESUMEN
A simple, fast, sensitive and eco-friendly ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent liquid phase microextraction (UA-DES-LPME) was developed for preconcentration and speciation of Hg2+ and CH3Hg+ combined with ETAAS. Choline-phenol based DES (1:3, molar ratio) was used as an extractant for the determination of species of mercury, Hg2+ formed hydrophobic complexes with dithizone and complexes were then extracted using DES. For CH3Hg+ determination, CH3Hg+ can be extracted directly into DES phase because of its hydrophobic property. Under optimized conditions, the detection limits of Hg2+ and CH3Hg+ were 0.073 and 0.091â¯ngâ¯mL-1, respectively. %RSD (nâ¯=â¯7) were less than 4.1% and the enrichment factor (10â¯mL sample volume) were 34 and 18.3 for Hg2+ and CH3Hg+, respectively. The accuracy of the developed method was verified by analysis of SRM-1566b oyster tissue. The proposed method was applied to the speciation of mercury in several water and fresh water fish samples.

A new and simple two-step SFODME using 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (4-NOPD) as a chelating agent was developed for mercury speciation in water and fish samples by ETAAS. For the first step, methylmercury was extracted into 1-undecanol and for the second step, the Hg(II) remaining in the sample solution was complexed with 4-NOPD and then extracted into 1-undecanol. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration graphs of Hg(II) and methylmercury were linear in the range of 0.83-8.0⯵gâ¯L-1 and 0.78-8.0⯵gâ¯L-1, with the LOD of 0.25⯵gâ¯L-1 and 0.24⯵gâ¯L-1 and the enrichment factor were 25.7 and 32.2, respectively. The %RSDs was in the range of 2.0-4.4% at concentrations of 0.5 and 4.0⯵gâ¯L-1 (nâ¯=â¯5). The proposed method was successfully applied to mercury speciation in water and fish samples. The accuracy of method, tested by the analysis of SRM 1566b and DORM-4 was in good agreement with the certified values.

A new preconcentration method using solid phase extraction (SPE) was developed by immobilizing dithizone (DZ) and 1,4-diphenylsemicarbazide (DPC) on oxidative activated carbon and then using this for the speciation and preconcentration of mercury species (Hg(II) and MeHg(I)) by flow injection cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-CVAAS). The SPE experimental conditions were investigated including pH, amount of adsorbent and flow rate. The elution parameters and effect of foreign ions were also elucidated. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the ranges of 0.015 - 3.0 µg L-1 of Hg(II), with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.0155 µg L-1, corresponding to three times the standard deviation (3SD, n = 20). The precision of the method, defined as percentage relative standard deviation (%RSD) for mercury was 1.25 - 3.79% at concentrations of 0.1 - 1.0 µg L-1, for which a preconcentration factor of 20 was obtained for Hg(II). The proposed method was validated by determining the mercury concentration in standard reference materials, and successfully applied to the speciation of mercury in several water and freshwater fish samples.

Design and development of a dynamic interfacial pressure detector (DIPD) is reported. The DIPD measures the differential pressure as a function of time across the liquid-liquid interface of organic liquid drops (i.e., n-hexane) that repeatedly grow in water at the end of a capillary tip. Using a calibration technique based on the Young-Laplace equation, the differential pressure signal is converted, in real-time, to a relative interfacial pressure. This allows the DIPD to monitor the interfacial tension of surface active species at liquid-liquid interfaces in flow-based analytical techniques, such as flow injection analysis (FIA), sequential injection analysis (SIA) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The DIPD is similar in principle to the dynamic surface tension detector (DSTD), which monitors the surface tension at the air-liquid interface. In this report, the interfacial pressure at the hexane-water interface was monitored as analytes in the hexane phase diffused to and arranged at the hexane-water interface. The DIPD was combined with FIA to analytically measure the interfacial properties of cholesterol and Brij((R))30 at the hexane-water interface. Results show that both cholesterol and Brij((R))30 exhibit a dynamic interfacial pressure signal during hexane drop growth. A calibration curve demonstrates that the relative interfacial pressure of cholesterol in hexane increases as the cholesterol concentration increases from 100 to 10,000mugml(-1). An example of the utility of the DIPD as a selective detector for a chromatographic separation of interface-active species is also presented in the analysis of cholesterol in egg yolk by normal-phase HPLC-DIPD.
