Abstract
A lab-in-syringe flow system exploiting dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction in a solvent lighter than water is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of lead in industrial residual waters. The steps inherent to both liquid-liquid extraction and monitoring of the formed compound are in-syringe carried out. The classical carbon tetrachloride is not used as the extracting solvent, as it does not present the friendly characteristics inherent to the Green Analytical Chemistry. Aiming at a cleaner alternative for this determination, xylene is selected. Enrichment factor, linear dynamic range, detection limit, sample throughput and residue volume inherent to the proposed procedure were estimated as 36, 50.0–250 μg L−1, 9.0 μg L−1, 13 h−1, and 2.0 mL, respectively.
