A comprehensive review on recent developments and future perspectives of switchable solvents and their applications in sample preparation techniques

Abstract

One of the most time-consuming and challenging phases of analytical procedures is sample preparation, which entails separating target compounds from diverse real samples. Hence, it is explicable that sample preparation...

Atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in environmental analysis

“…The second 56 (178 references) was an overall review of DESs for the extraction of organic or inorganic species from water and food samples. The third (150 references) covered 57 green solvents, including DESs, and ILs for the extraction of trace analytes from various matrices. These three reviews highlight the importance and possibility of removing traditional volatile and toxic solvents from analytical methods.…”

“…The assessment of energy consumption and solvent toxicity in the reviewed methods was of interest. The preparation and properties of green solvents were critically reviewed 57 (150 references) with an emphasis on DESs, ILs and switchable solvents. Application to real samples was also covered.…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

“…The application of CPE in methods for the determination and speciation of Se in food and beverages was reviewed by Hagarová and Nemček. 12 Ullah and Tuzen 13 discussed the trends and future perspectives of the miniaturisation of conventional extraction methods, unfortunately mostly related to environmental samples. The use of magnetic graphene oxide (GO) for the pre-concentration and/or speciation of several elements in environmental and food samples was examined by Morales-Benítez et al 14…”

“…They identified speciation of trace elements in foods as the current challenge. In a review (182 references) of the miniaturization of conventional extraction methods for elemental analysis in different real samples, Ullah and Tuzen 13 confined their attention to LPME and SPME in methods for the determination of potentially toxic elements published from 2010 to 2021. The vast majority of the “real samples” were environmental waters; only a few papers describing the analyses of foods (or clinical materials) were included.…”
