Abstract

Liquid phase microextraction (LPME) with a dithizone/deep eutectic solvent (DTZ-DES)-based probe was employed for the determination of trace cadmium by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). All extraction parameters were univariately optimized to achieve the highest efficiency and the limits of detection and quantification were 3.5 and 11.8 ng mL−1. Good linearity was obtained from 10 to 200 ng mL−1 with a regression coefficient (R2) of 0.9979. The sensitivity of FAAS system was improved 26.9-fold by the microextraction procedure. The accuracy and applicability of the method were investigated with recovery experiments carried out using corn silk tea extracts. The recovery values with matrix matching calibration were from 81.3 to 114.3%, demonstrating that this environmentally friendly method is applicable for determination of cadmium in tea samples with good accuracy.
