Trace analysis in complex matrices usually requires an effective sample preparation step to isolate, extract, and enrich the target analytes. Due to its distinctive qualities, including a high degree of enrichment factors, clean-up, and conformity with green chemistry principles, electromembrane microextraction techniques are among the methods for extracting chromium that have gained much attention in recent years. These techniques could be classified into two groups; electromembrane extraction (EME) which is based on using hydrophobic compounds (e.g., a few microliters of organic solvents) to separate the two aqueous solutions (donor and acceptor solutions), and gel electromembrane microextraction (G-EME) which is based on using a membrane made of biopolymers. In this review, the most recent advancements in EME and G-EME technologies for the extraction of chromium species in environmental samples in the last five years were summarized.

The system was designed to detect ammonia using an in-line purging system coupled with a newly designed gas converging flow cell incorporating in-line paper-based colorimetric detection. The gas converging flow cell served as a gas chamber, a paper-based device holder, and a color detection cell. The paper-based device was impregnated with butterfly pea extract (a natural acid-base indicator), the color of which changed on the basis of the generated ammonia gas. Analytical parameters such as concentration of natural indicator and purging time were studied and optimized. The color image could be captured by an integrated endoscope camera or smartphone and analyzed by ImageJ software in RGB mode. Under optimal conditions, two linear dynamic ranges were observed. By using 1:2 (v/v) diluted 2% (w/v) butterfly pea extract in Milli-Q water, a low linear concentration range of 0.05–0.9 mg L<sup>−1</sup> with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 mg L<sup>−1</sup> and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.05 mg L<sup>−1</sup> was achieved. By using a non-diluted 2% (w/v) butterfly pea extract, a high linear concentration range of 0.5–4 mg L<sup>−1</sup> with an LOD of 0.1 mg L<sup>−1</sup> and LOQ of 0.3 mg L<sup>−1</sup> was obtained. Finally, the optimized method was leveraged to determine ammonia-N in various water samples from shrimp farming.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100052,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sample Preparation","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100076"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
