Task Specific Ionic Liquid

Abstract Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) based on a task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL) was developed for the extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium from aqueous samples, followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) determination. In the proposed approach, cadmium ions are extracted from aqueous samples using small volumes of trioctylmethylammonium thiosalicylate (TOMATS) dissolved in acetone. TOMATS is a thiol-containing TSIL that can form metal thiolate complexes due to the chelating effect of the ortho-positioned carboxylate group relative to the thiol functionality. The main parameters affecting the performance of DLLME based on TSIL, such as pH, amount of TOMATS, extraction time, injection volume, salt addition, and centrifugation time, were optimized. Under optimum conditions, an LOD of 1.16 ng/mL and a good RSD of 1.8% at 60.0 ng/mL were obtained (n = 7). The proposed method was applied to tap water, wastewater, well water, and milk samples. The results showed that DLLME based on TSIL combined with FAAS is a rapid, simple, sensitive, selective, low cost, volatile organic solvent-free, and efficient analytical method for the separation and determination of trace amounts of cadmium ions.

AbstractA rapid dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) methodology based on the application of 1-hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [C6py][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) as an extractant solvent was applied for the pre-concentration of trace levels of cobalt prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) was employed as a chelator forming a Co-PMBP complex to extract cobalt ions from aqueous solution into the fine droplets of [C6py][PF6]. Some effective factors that influence the micro-extraction efficiency include the pH, the PMBP concentration, the amount of ionic liquid, the ionic strength, the temperature and the centrifugation time which were investigated and optimized. In the optimum experimental conditions, the limit of detection (3s) and the enrichment factor were 0.70 µg L−1 and 60, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate determinations of 50 µg L−1 Co was 2.36%. The calibration graph using the pre-concentration system was linear at levels 2–166 µg L−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9982. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by the determination of trace amounts of cobalt in several water samples.

Abstract A simple, selective, reliable, and sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of Cu2+ ions in aqueous samples is proposed. The Cu2+ ions are adsorbed quantitatively during the passage of aqueous samples through an octadecyl (C18) silica membrane disk modified by a symmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis(4-phenylazo salicylaldimine) 3-chloro-1,2-phenylenediamine (H2L). The retained Cu2+ ions were then stripped from the disk by elution with the minimal amount of nitric acid solution and determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Various parameters, such as the effect of pH, flow rate, type and amount of eluent, and the effects of various cationic interferences on the recovery of ions were studied. The proposed method permitted large enrichment factors (about 550 and higher). The limit of detection of the method was 1.5 102 g/L. The use of the same disk modified with 6 mg H2L for at least 30 times showed no change in the recovery of Cu2+ ions. The accuracy of the method was confirmed by determination of Cu2+ ions in standard samples [National Institute of Environmental Studies (NIES) No. 2 and Nippon Keikinzoku Kogyo (NKK) No. 920]. The results demonstrated good agreement with certified values.
