Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (DLLME) is a mode of Liquid- dodecane, tributyl phosphate and 1-octanol were obtained from
Liquid Extraction (LLE) in smaller level, which in comparison with
the LLE method, its consumption of organic extracting solvent and
environmental contamination significantly lower, and the obtained
preconcentration factor is much higher. DLLME employs a mixture
of a high-density extracting solvent and water miscible polar disperser
solvent. In DLLME After a rapid injection of an appropriate mixture
containing extracting and disperser solvents into the aqueous sample
a cloudy state is formed. The contact area between the extracting
solvent and the sample solution is very large. Thus the extraction
equilibrium is achieved rapidly. After centrifugation, the extracted Figure 1: Chemical structure of nicotinic acid.
