Abstract
High-density dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HD-DLLME-HPLC-DAD) was developed for extraction and determination of six commonly used sulfonylurea herbicides in matrices of environmental waters. For simultaneous extraction of the target herbicides, the optimum experimental parameters that 024influence extraction efficiency were investigated. Under optimized conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.8-1.5 and 1.9-5.1 ng mL−1, respectively. The precisions in terms of relative standard deviations (% RSDs) of both intra-day and inter-day precisions (n = 6) were found to be 2.92 to 7.08 and 3.01 to 8.13, respectively. Furthermore, applicability of the developed method was investigated by analyzing spiked tap, lake, river and underground water samples and satisfactory recoveries were obtained in the range of 84.3–101.7% with RSDs < 9.8% (n = 6) and the target analytes were not detected in real samples. The proposed method offered several attractive features including fast analysis time, simplicity, sensitivity, and selectivity. Therefore, the trace level enrichment and assessment of sulfonylurea herbicides residues from environmental water matrices using HD-DLLME-HPLC-DAD could be utilized as a reliable alternative in routine laboratory analysis of contaminated environmental waters.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
