Abstract

Ultrasound-assisted extraction is frequently used to prepare analytical samples and is considered an alternative to conventional extraction techniques. Extraction procedures are used in the fractionation analysis for the isolation of various element species. The recoveries of elements in the ultrasonic extracts were tested by comparing these results with those of conventional extraction procedures. Contents of Cu, Pb, and Zn in extracts obtained by both the conventional and the ultrasound-assisted extraction were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The optimal conditions for the ultrasound-assisted extraction (sonication power = 90%, depth of ultrasonic probe = 4 cm) were determined, and the extraction time was shortened to 6 min (using EDTA) and to 5 min using HNO3 extraction reagent.
