Extraction
It is the sample separation technique. It has various types – liquid-liquid extraction,
liquid-solid extraction, Solid phase extraction etc.
2
Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE)
LLE is based on establishment of
distribution equilibrium of the analytes
between two immiscible phases, an
aqueous and an organic phase.
Apparatus for LLE is a separating
funnel.
Important disadvantages
1.
• Consumption of large volumes of expensive and toxic solvents
2.• Difficult phase separations
3.• Low concentration factor 3
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
SPE process is based on distribution of
analytes between solid sorbent packed in
a cartridge and liquid sample which moves
through the solid phase. Solid phase
usually consists of small porous particles
of silica with or without bonded organic
phase, organic polymers and ion
exchangers.
Limitations :
1. Clogging the pores of the solid phase
2. SPE needs at least 100 μL of the solvent
3. Time consuming method due to several steps of operation4
Microextraction
Microextraction is defined as an extraction
technique where the volume of the extracting
phase is very small and extraction of analytes
is not exhaustive. In most cases only a small
fraction of the initial analyte is extracted for
analysis.

Solid phase microextraction (SPME)
SPME is a simple and efficient technique, whicheliminates the necessity of using solvents.
SPME Device Modified syringe-like instrument. The fused silica fiber, having a small size and
cylindrical shape, is connected to stainless-steeltubing that is used to provide additional mechanicalstrength to the fiber assembly for repeated sampling.
This stainless-steel tubing is connected to a speciallydesigned syringe-like instrument.
A small volume of extraction phase (usually less than1 μL) coated on fused silica support is mounted in amodified syringe.
6
Extraction phase - high molecular weight
polymeric liquid or a solid porous sorbent
with high surface area.
SPME fiber is quite sensitive to complex
matrix such as plasma.
With pulling the syringe plunger in, the
fiber is protected in the needle and with
pulling out; the fiber is exposed to the
sample.
7
SPME can be performed in two ways
1. Direct immersion SPMEFiber is directly immersed in liquid samples.
2. Headspace SPMEFiber needle is placed above the headspace of the sample.
volatile analytes

Factors affecting SPME Fiber coating selection
Microextraction temperature
Microextraction time
Desorption temperature and time
Sample agitation
Salting out effect

Rapid, simple, solvent free and sensitive method
It is compatible with analyte separation and detection by GC & HPLC
It provides linear results for a wide range of concentrations of analytes
It gives highly consistent, quantifiable results from very low concentrations of analytes
Their relatively low recommended operating temperature (generally in the range 240 – 280o C)
Fiber breakage
Stripping of coatings
Bending of needles and their expense

Liquid Phase Microextraction (LPME) LPME is a solvent-minimized procedure, in which only several μL of solvent
are required to concentrate analytes from various samples rather thanhundreds of mL needed in traditional LLE.
Compatible with GC, CE & HPLC. Extraction normally takes place into a small amount of a water-immiscible
solvent (acceptor phase) from an aqueous sample containing analytes (donorphase).
Types of liquid phase microextraction
Single-drop microextraction (SDME)
Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME)
11
Single-drop microextraction (SDME)
In this technique, extraction solvent has the form of onedrop (1 -8 μL) hence called single-drop microextraction.
The SDME method can be used for liquid and gaseoussamples.
After extraction, the micro drop is retracted back into thesyringe and transferred for further analysis.
Compatible with GC & HPLC, AAS & ICP It can be performed in two ways1. Direct immersion SDME2. Headspace SDME
12
a) Direct immersion (DI)-SDME A drop of a water-immiscible organic
solvent is suspended directly from thetip of a micro syringe needle immersedin the aqueous sample.
Two liquid phases are in direct contactbetween each other, & the transfer ofanalytes from the water solution to theextraction drop lasts untilthermodynamic balance is achieved.
DI-SDME requires the use of a mixingorganic solvent and analytes, which arecharacterised by higher solubility in theorganic solvent than in the samplesolution
13
b) Headspace SDME A micro drop of appropriate solvent is
placed in the headspace of the samplesolution or in a flowing air samplestream to extract volatile analytes.
Gaseous analytes from the liquidphase, dissolve in the solvent drop.
After the extraction, the microdrop iswithdrawn back into the syringeneedle and then it is injected to thedetector for quantitativedetermination of analytes
14
Factors affecting SDME Kind and volume of extraction solvent
Extraction time
Extraction temperature
Salt addition
pH Adjustment
Sample agitation
15
Advantages
cheap technique
simple equipment
Use of minimum amounts of solvents
Disadvantages
instability of the drop
small surface of the drop
slow kinetics of extraction
16
Selection of the extractant is very flexible & its solubility in the sample solution need
not be considered.
Wide range of extractable analytes & analytical methods that can be coupled to
SDME.
Provides excellent clean up for samples .

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME)
This technique uses μL volume of extraction solvent along with a few mL ofdispersive solvents.
A cloudy solution is formed when an appropriate mixture of extraction anddispersive solvents is injected into an aqueous sample containing theanalytes of interest.
Solutes are enriched in the extraction solvent, which is dispersed into thebulk aqueous solution.
After centrifugation, analytes in the settled phase can be determined byusing conventional analytical techniques.
Extraction solvent must be immiscible with aqueous sample solution anddisperser solvent must soluble in both of the extraction solvent and aqueoussample solution.
