Abstract

In this study, a new method based on electromembrane extraction (EME) followed by corona discharge ion mobility spectrometry (CD-IMS) was used for preconcentration and quantification of malachite green in water samples. In the EME procedure, the charged malachite green migrated into the supported liquid membrane (SLM) under an applied potential. The extraction efficiency of malachite green was assessed based on two phase EME under effective parameters including applied voltage, extraction time, pH of the sample solution, stirring rate, and salt addition in the sample solution. The analytical performance of the developed EME method was studied under the optimum extraction condition. The dynamic linear range and low limit of detection of the EME method were 5–250 ng mL−1 and 1.5 ng mL−1, respectively. The preconcentration factor of 150 and the RSD% of 3.8–7.6% were also achieved using EME method. Finally, the proposed method was successfully tested for the extraction and analysis of malachite green in different water samples.
