Electrochemical analysis allows for the sensitive detection of Hg(II). The study investigated the impact of vortexing during the switch of the extraction solvent for the first time. Additionally, it explored the potential of vortexing as an alternative to time-consuming temperature control processes, the use of hazardous acids like HCl, and dry ice. The study examined the utilization of potato dextrose agar (PDA) gel as a membrane in EME, eliminating the need for an organic solvent in Hg(II) extraction. We optimized the experimental conditions and found that by meeting specific parameters, we could efficiently extract Hg(II) from a 20 mL solution sample using a PDA gel-based membrane in an aqueous acceptor phase. Subsequently, the VASHS-LPME method was applied under optimal conditions for the extraction of Hg(II) ions.
