Abstract

An environmentally friendly and highly sensitive analytical method for the determination of the dye Eosin Y (EY) was developed utilizing vortex-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs), combined with fluorescence detection (LPME-FLD). The extraction efficiencies of conventional solvents and various DES systems, composed of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and alcohols (hexanol, octanol, and decanol) in different ratios, were systematically compared. DFT calculations provided insights into the most stable forms of EY in solvents of varying polarity. Theoretical Hansen solubility parameters and the COSMO-RS solvation model were applied to assess extraction efficiency. Hansen parameters were obtained via semiempirical PM7 calculations, while BP86/def2-TZVPD DFT computations were employed within the openCOSMO-RS framework. The developed method exhibited a linear calibration range between 0.1 and 130 µg·L−1, with a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9982). The limit of detection (LOD) was established at 0.028 µg·L−1. Method precision and repeatability were confirmed over two days, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging from 1.1% to 2.7% and with recoveries between 99.0% and 106.2%. The proposed analytical approach was successfully applied to the determination of EY in real water samples, demonstrating both its practical applicability and alignment with green chemistry principles.

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.
