Stir membrane liquid-phase microextraction based on milk fats hydrolysis and deep eutectic solvent formation: Determination of bisphenols.

In this paper, a stir membrane liquid-phase microextraction approach based on milk fats hydrolysis and in situ deep eutectic solvent formation was developed for the first time. The approach was applied to clean-up and preconcentrate bisphenols from milk samples. The procedure assumed alkaline hydrolysis of samples fats to obtain water-soluble salts of fatty acids that acted as precursors for the deep eutectic solvent formation.

Deep eutectic solvent decomposition-based microextraction for chromium determination in aqueous environments by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization.

A sensitive, rapid, and simple procedure for the determination of traces of chromium species in natural and waste waters after microextraction using a quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent based on tetrabutylammonium bromide and hexanoic acid was developed for the first time. In the developed procedure, the deep eutectic solvent played the role of a source of dispersive agent, chelating agent, and extraction solvent. During mixing the aqueous phase with the quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, dissolution and dissociation of tetrabutylammonium bromide took place.

In-syringe dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using deep eutectic solvent as disperser: Determination of chromium (VI) in beverages.

A novel approach for dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on the use of deep eutectic solvent as a disperser was presented for the first time. The procedure was automated based on an in-syringe flow system coupled with UV-Vis detection and demonstrated by the determination of chromium (VI) in beverages. This analytical task was used as a proof-of-concept example.
