Abstract :

An efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction basedon solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFOD), combined with flame atomicabsorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amountsof cobalt in water samples. In this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and1-undecanol was injected rapidly into the aqueous sample containing cobalt-2N1N complex, as aresult cloudy mixture was formed. After centrifugation, the test tube was cooled for 5 min. Thesolidified 1-undecanol on top of the solution was transferred into a suitable vial. Then, it wasdissolved in 100 μL of methanol and finally introduced into the flame atomic absorption bymicrosampler injector. Several factors influencing the microextraction efficiency, such as thenature and volume of organic solvent, pH of aqueous solution, amount of complexing agent,stirring rate and extraction time were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions,the enhancement factor was 68. The limit of detection, 6 μgL−1 and relative standard deviation(RSD) 2.64% (n=8) were obtained. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of variouswater samples.
