Abstract

Abstract This review focuses on the combination of elemental detection techniques with liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), namely, single drop microextraction, hollow fiber based liquid-phase microextraction, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, and related techniques. General features of different microextraction procedures, historical overview and automation of LPME are described and compared, along with examples of new developments and applications presented to demonstrate its potential for trace and ultra-trace metal analysis. Furthermore, potential applications and an outlook on the combination of LPME and elemental detection techniques for inorganic analysis are presented.

  • LPME of metals has gained increasing attention since its introduction by Chamsaz in 2003 as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to classical liquid-liquid extraction.

    “Liquid phase micro-extraction (LPME) of metals has gained increasing attention since introduced by Chamsaz in 2003 [2], as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to classical liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) [3].”
  • Surfactants such as Triton X-114, Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) have been applied as dispersants when highly viscous ILs are used in the extraction of saline samples.

    “Also surfactants as Triton X-114, Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), have been applied as dispersants when highly viscous ILs are used in the extraction of saline samples [3].”

    From Advances in ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents-based liquid phase microextraction of metals for sample preparation in Environmental Analytical Chemistry (2021) · cites this paper as [3]

    The discussion of conventional DLLME (accepted manuscript, p. 6) describes disperser solvents and mentions ionic liquids as alternative extractants. The References list includes an ionic-liquid extraction study involving saline solutions, but our copy does not say that Triton X-114, Triton X-100, or SDS were used as dispersants with highly viscous ionic liquids in saline samples. Searches for those surfactants and for viscosity did not find a supporting passage. (LLM, conf=0.73)

  • The first use of ILs in HFLPME was the partial substitution of the molecular solvent by imidazolium based ILs, mainly [Cnmim][PF6], to improve metal extraction by a ligand.

    “As for the rest of LPME techniques, the first use of ILs in HFLPME was the partial substitution of the molecular solvent by imidazolium based ILs, mainly [C n mim][PF 6 ], to improve metal extraction by a ligand [3,6].”

    From Advances in ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents-based liquid phase microextraction of metals for sample preparation in Environmental Analytical Chemistry (2021) · cites this paper as [3]

    Section 2.2 describes HF-LPME but does not discuss ionic liquids or its earliest uses. Section 3 describes an imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid extracting a cadmium complex in vortex-assisted LPME, a different technique. Searches for partial solvent substitution and the first use of ionic liquids in HF-LPME found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
