Abstract

In the present study, a new solvent-free mode of liquid phase microextraction termed ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME) was developed. Four phenols were used as model compounds in the development and evaluation of the procedure. In this method, 50 µL of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) and 1.5 mL of sample aqueous solution were placed in a 2.2-mL glass test tube and mixed by aspirating and rapidly injecting by a syringe. This procedure produced a cloudy solution. In this process, phenols in the water sample were extracted into the IL phase. After centrifuging, the fine droplets of IL sedimented to the bottom of the glass test tube. The settled phase was injected into the high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) for separation and detection of phenols. Some parameters that might affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. The main advantages of the proposed method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and environmental friendliness.
