TL;DR: The ability of DLLME technique in the extraction of other organic compounds such as organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides and substituted benzene compounds were studied.

TL;DR: The partitioning of simple substituted-benzene derivatives between water and the room temperature ionic liquid, butylmethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, is based on the solutes' charged state or relative hydrophobicity as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: An analytical technique is described which combines solvent extraction with gas chromatographic (GC) analysis in a simple and inexpensive apparatus involving very little solvent consumption and is in good agreement with a convective-diffusive kinetic model.
Abstract: An analytical technique is described which combines solvent extraction with gas chromatographic (GC) analysis in a simple and inexpensive apparatus involving very little solvent consumption. A small drop (8 μL) of a water-immiscible organic solvent, containing an internal standard, is located at the end of a Teflon rod which is immersed in a stirred aqueous sample solution. After the solution has been stirred for a prescribed period of time, the probe is withdrawn from the aqueous solution, and the organic phase is sampled with a microsyringe and injected into the GC for quantification. The observed rate of solvent extraction is in good agreement with a convective−diffusive kinetic model. Analytically, the relative standard deviation of the method is 1.7% for a 5.00-min extraction of the analyte 4-methylacetophenone into n-octane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new technique for sample preparation, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), that combines elevated temperatures and pressures with liquid solvents, and investigate the effects of various operational parameters (i.e., temperature, pressure, and volume of solvent used) on the performance of ASE.
Abstract: We describe a new technique for sample preparation, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), that combines elevated temperatures and pressures with liquid solvents. The effects of various operational parameters (i.e., temperature, pressure, and volume of solvent used) on the performance of ASE were investigated. The solvents used are those normally used for standard liquid extraction techniques like Soxhlet or sonication. We found the recoveries of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and total petroleum hydrocarbons from reference materials using ASE to be quantitative. The extraction time for 1−30-g samples is less than 15 min, and the volume of solvent is 1.2−1.5 times that of the extraction cell containing the sample. No evidence was seen for thermal degradation during the extraction of temperature-sensitive compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the crown ethers were used as extractants in RTIL-based liquid/liquid separations, and the resulting metal ion partitioning depends on the hydrophobicity of the crown and also on the composition of the aqueous phase (e.g., concentration of HNO3 vs Al(NO3)3).
Abstract: The crown ethers 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6), and 4,4‘-(5‘)-di-(tert-butylcyclohexano)-18-crown-6 (Dtb18C6) were dissolved in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Cnmim][PF6], n = 4, 6, 8) room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and studied for the extraction of Na+, Cs+, and Sr2+ from aqueous solutions. In the absence of extractant, the distribution ratios for the metal ions indicate a strong preference for the aqueous phase. With the crown ethers as extractants in RTIL-based liquid/liquid separations, the resulting metal ion partitioning depends on the hydrophobicity of the crown ether and also on the composition of the aqueous phase (e.g., concentration of HNO3 vs Al(NO3)3). Aqueous solutions of HCl, Na3 citrate, NaNO3, and HNO3 (the latter at low concentrations) decrease the metal ion distribution ratios and also decrease the water content of the RTIL phase. High concentrations of HNO3 decompose PF6- and increase both the water content and the water solubility of ...
