Separation of trace amount of silver using dispersive liquid-liquid based on solidification of floating organic drop microextraction

摘要

In the present work, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop was developed as a simple and rapid technique for separation of silver ions from aqueous samples. In this technique, 700 μX 0.02% of 5-(4'-dimethylamino benzyliden)-rhodanine (chelating agent) was added into the 10mL analyte sample in a test tube and 30.0 μX 1-undecanol (extraction solvent) was injected shortly thereafter. The test tubes were sonicated, centrifuged and then some effective parameters on extraction and complex formation, such as type and volume of extraction and disperser solvent, pH, the amount of chelating agent and extraction time were optimized. The effect of the interfering ions on the analytes recovery was also investigated. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.10-10.0ngm L~(-1) with detection limit of 0.056ngmL~(-1) (n = 8). The relative standard deviation (RSD) was±4.3% (n = 8, C=5.0 ng mL~(-1)) and the enrichment factor was 250.0. The proposed method was applied for extraction and determination of silver in different water samples.
