Abstract:

In this study, we propose a simple, fast, low cost extraction method based on dispersive-liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and GC-MS analysis for the determination of 17�?²-estradiol (E2) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) in water. The main parameters affecting DLLME process such as the kind of extraction solvent, dispersive solvent, volume of the extraction and the dispersive solvent, extraction time and ionic strength were optimized. This method involves the rapid injection of an appropriate mixture of extraction solvent (100 �?¼L chloroform) and dispersive solvent (1.00 mL acetonitrile) to water samples. After centrifugation of formed cloudy solution, sedimented phase was evaporated. Prior to GC-MS analysis samples were derivatized. The correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was higher than 0.994. The linear range was from 1 to 20 ng mLâ�?�?1 for diethylstilbestrol (DES) and 1 to 10 ng mL-1 for 17�?²-estradiol (E2). The detection limits of DES and E2 were 0.42 ng mL1 and 0.71 ng mL-1, respectively. The recoveries of the method for DES and E2 from well water samples at spiking levels of 5 ng mLâ�?�?1 were 101.6% and 93.4%, respectively.
