| Summary: | Phenolic compounds are hazardous industrial wastes that can contaminate real water resources. Therefore, the
removal of these compounds in order to reach acceptable levels before discharging becomes challenging. In this
study, a combination method between dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) with high-performance liquid
chromatography-UV detection at 280 nm with the isocratic condition was introduced as a new approach for separating
phenol content in water samples. The optimized parameters that affect the extraction efficiency, such as type of
solvents, the volume of extraction and dispersive, stirring speed of centrifuge and salt concentration were evaluated
using response surface methodology (RSM). A central composite design (CCD) was used to investigate the effect of four
independent variables parameters, as mentioned. The recovery value on the DLLME method for the water sample is
in the range of 92.31 - 114.29%. Based on the recovery obtained, the DLMME-HPLC-UV is a promising method for
phenol extraction because it is simple, effective and produce a high percentage of the recovery. |
