Abstract
ABSTRACT Centrifuge less continuous sample drop flow-based microextraction is combined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry to develop a novel analytical procedure for the speciation and preconcentration of the trace amounts of chromium in the aqueous samples. The extraction procedure involves the sequential addition of the aqueous sample in form fine droplets through a switchable hydrophilic fatty acid as an extraction phase. In this study, the centrifugation step was eliminated by applying the salting-out phenomenon. The influence of the main variables on the efficiency of the procedure was evaluated by chemometric methods. Under optimised conditions, the linearity ranges of the proposed method are in the range of 1–20 µg L−1 with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9993. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.29 and 0.87 µg L−1, respectively. The recovery of analyte in tap, well, and river and wastewater ranged between 95.2% and 105.0% with relative standard deviations ranging from 1.30% to 5.78%. Hence, the method was successfully applied to the analysis of chromium in water samples.
