Abstract

A simple and efficient liquid-phase microextraction technique was developed using ultrasound-assisted emulsification solidified floating organic drop microextraction combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry, for the extraction and determination of trace amounts of iron and copper in real samples. 2-Mercaptopyridine n-oxide was used as chelating agent and 1-dodecanol was selected as extraction solvent. The factors influencing the complex formation and extraction were optimized. Under optimum conditions, an enrichment factor of ~13 was obtained for both iron and copper from only 6.7 mL of aqueous phase. The analytical curves were linear between 40–800 and 20–1,200 μg L−1 for iron and copper respectively. Based on three SD of the blank, the detection limits were 8.6 and 4.1 μg L−1 for iron and copper respectively. The relative SDs for ten replicate measurements of 500 μg L−1 of metal ions were 2.9 and 1.2 for iron and copper respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of iron and copper in environmental waters and some food samples including chess, rice, honey and powdered milk. Finally, method validation was made using rock certified reference material. A student’s t test indicated that there was no significant difference between experimental results and certified values.
