Abstract
In the present research, the application of a functionalized ionic liquid with a specific role to simultaneous extraction and preconcentration of cadmium and lead ions in aqueous media by in-situ solvent formation microextraction (ISFME) technique was developed. The task-specific functionalized ionic liquid of 3-(2-(bis(2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl)amino)ethyl)-1-methylimidazolium chloride ([Tamim][Cl]) as a complexing agent utilized for the formation of metal chelates with Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions in aqueous solutions. Finally, determination of concentrated or separated metal ions contents after dilution step was carried out by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). To obtain optimum extraction conditions, analytical parameters including the various range of sample solution pH, chelating agent amount, ionic strength of solution, solution temperature and counter ion dosage were investigated. Furthermore, parameters represent figures of merit of the method such as limit of detection (LOD), relative standard deviation (RSD), linear dynamic range (LDR) and the enhancement factor (EF) were 0.64;0.76 µg L-1, 1.5;1.8%, 50-2500;50-2000 µg L-1 and 85;80 for cadmium and lead, respectively. The ability of the method for analyzing of real water and saline samples were evaluated and good results were obtained.
