RESUMEN
This study presents the preconcentration of diflufenican and azaconazole from domestic wastewater samples by using dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) for determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Stearic acid-coated magnetic nanoparticles were used as adsorbents for dSPE method. In order to maximize the efficiency of the extraction process, parameters such as magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) type and amount, eluent type and volume, mixing type, and mixing period were all optimized. The linear range obtained for azaconazole and diflufenican was 7.50-500 ng/mL and 7.50-750 ng/mL, and their limits of detection/quantification (LOD/LOQ) were calculated as 1.3/4.3 ng/mL and 1.4/4.7 ng/mL, respectively. By comparing the LOD values of direct GC-MS and the developed dSPE method, azaconazole and diflufenican recorded approximately 35 and 38 folds enhancement in detection power. Recovery experiments with domestic wastewater were carried out to certify the proposed method's accuracy and applicability. By using the matrix matching calibration strategy, the good percent recovery results between 98 and 105% were obtained.

A novel, ecofriendly, and easy extraction and preconcentration method named as vortex-assisted spraying-based fine droplet formation liquid-phase microextraction was proposed for the determination of prochloraz at trace levels in orange juice samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In this novel system, extraction solvent is dispersed by the help of spraying apparatus instead of dispersive solvent. Various parameters of the method were carefully optimized to increase signal-to-noise ratio of the analyte. Under the optimum chromatographic and extraction conditions, limit of detection and limit of quantification were calculated as 3.2 and 10.8 µg/kg, respectively. Moreover, enhancement in quantification power for the GC-MS system was determined as 372 folds based on LOQ comparison. Relative recovery results for orange juice samples were found to be between 95.0-107.7% by utilizing matrix matching calibration. Furthermore, the developed method may be used to efficiently and simply extract other organic compounds for their determinations in several matrices.
