Abstract
In this work, hydrophobic magnetic deep eutectic solvents (HMDESs) were used in the development of a simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) approach coupled to high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) for the determination of ten organic contaminants including five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, four UV filters, and a pesticide from water at trace levels. The HMDESs were prepared by mixing a hydrogen bond acceptor, metal halide salt, and hydrogen bond donor in suitable molar ratios. Two HMDESs, 2 tetraoctylammonium bromide ([N8888+][Br−]): cobalt chloride (CoCl2): 4 octanoic acid (OA) and 3 trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO): neodymium chloride (NdCl3): 3 OA, offered the highest analyte extraction efficiency overall and were chosen as suitable solvents for validation of the microextraction method. Under optimized extraction conditions, the method required 30 µL of HMDES as extraction solvent, acetone (87.5 µL) as disperser solvent, a NaCl concentration of 30% (w/v), and an extraction time of 120 s at 20°C. Enrichment factors of the analytes ranged from 44.6 for 3-(4-methylbenzylindene) camphor to 66.0 for 2-ethylhexyl-4-(dimethyl)aminobenzoate. The method provided low limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 µg L−1, and acceptable precision, with RSD values lower than 9.6%. Furthermore, the validated method was successfully applied for tap and lake water analysis, resulting in relative recoveries of spiked samples ranging between 94.7 and 119.2%.
