Ultrasonic assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method based on deep eutectic solvent for speciation, preconcentration and determination of selenium species (IV) and (VI) in water and food samples

摘要

Abstract A novel ultrasound-assisted liquid phase microextraction (UALPME) based on environmental friendly extractants, deep eutectic solvent (DES) was first time presented for speciation of selenium. In present study, five DES solvents of different composition was prepared and used as efficient extractive medium for hydrophobic chelate of Se(IV) with 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB). The total inorganic Se species were determined after pre-reduction of Se(VI) to Se(IV), prior to applying developed method. The concentration of Se(VI) was calculated by the difference of Se(IV) values and total selenium contents. The concentration of Se in DES rich phase was measured with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer (ETAAS). The effects of different parameters on extraction efficiency of study analyte, including pH, ligand concentration, type and volume of DES, sonication time, volumes tetrahydrofuran and aqueous samples were examined. At the optimum conditions, limit of detection and quantification, preconcentration factor, and relative standard deviation (RSD %) were determined as 4.61ngL?1, 15.4ngL?1, 50% and 4.1%, respectively. The accuracy of the presented method was confirmed by analysis of certified reference material and standard addition method for different water and ice tea samples. The developed method was effectively applied to real water and food samples. Graphical abstract Display Omitted Highlights ?
