Abstract:
This approach highlights the advantages of supramolecular solvents in a new microextraction model. The distinct properties and behavior of this supramolecular solvent provide enhanced extraction capabilities for detecting crystal violet (CV) in water samples. The methodical experimentation was executed to optimize the critical process parameters, providing maximum efficiency of crystal violet extraction at optimal conditions with pH set at 2.7, 186 μL of extraction solvent, extraction time of 3.5 min, and a salt amount of 3.1 % w/v, yielding the best results. Analytical data from extraction experiments under these optimal conditions demonstrated a high extraction percentage. The extraction model exhibited a linear response within the range of 10-800 ng mL-1 of crystal violet, with a detection limit of 2 ng mL-1. This model enables the measurement of CV in water samples with recovery rates exceeding 97 %, offering a straightforward and accessible approach for analysis.
