Development of salt-induced homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction using a deep eutectic solvent performed in a narrow-bore tube for the extraction of Zn(ii), Cu(ii), and Cd(ii) ions from honey samples

Abstract

In this study, a sample preparation procedure based on salt-induced homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction performed in a narrow-bore tube was used for the preconcentration and extraction of Zn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) ions from honey samples. To perform the procedure, a mixture of working solution containing sodium chloride, acetonitrile, and a synthesized deep eutectic solvent (as an extraction solvent) was transferred into a narrow tube filled with solid sodium chloride up to a specific level. As the solution flowed through the tube, tiny droplets of the extraction solvent were formed at the boundary between the solution and salt layer. The droplets moved upwards in the tube and eventually collected as a distinct layer on the top of the solution. The separated phase was removed and dispersed into ionized water. After centrifugation, tiny droplets of the extraction solvent containing the analytes were sedimented at the bottom of the tube. The concentrated analytes were measured using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The linear ranges and extraction recoveries were obtained in the ranges of 1.5–100 μg kg−1 and 89.6–94.8%, respectively. The detection limits ranged from 0.35 to 0.48 μg kg−1. Low relative standard deviations (C = 10 μg L−1, n = 6) of 3.1, 2.8, and 3.4% for Zn(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II), respectively, were obtained. Finally, the optimized method was successfully used in determination of concentration of the selected heavy metal ions in various honey samples.
