Evaluation of the Effects of Hofmeister Series on Salting Out in the Determination of Organophosphorous Pesticides and Pyrethroids by LDS/DLLME

Various greener microextraction procedures have been proposed with low limits of detection to control of pesticides present in the environment, including the low-density solvent dispersive liquid‑liquid microextraction (LDS/DLLME) technique. The addition of electrolytes is important in order to induce the salting-out effect. Thus, it is possible to use the Hofmeister series and the Voet lyotropic number to study the effect of different ions on pesticide extraction in LDS/DLLME technique. Different anions were tested and a strong correlation was observed between the lyotropic number of the anion and the recovered volume of extraction solvent. The lyotropic numbers of the anions were successfully compared with the chromatographic peak areas normalized by the recovered solvent volumes, and similar empirical cubic relationships were obtained for all the pyrethroids evaluated. In the extraction of the organophosphorous pesticides, chlorpyrifos presented similarity with the pyrethroids, while correlation was observed between methyl parathion and profenofos.
