Description
Summary:This paper describes a new experimental configuration of extraction induced by emulsion breaking method to extract and determine Ni and Co in chocolate bars by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. At optimized conditions, the sample (0.08 g) was mixed with 4 mL of extractant solution (4% m/v Triton X-100 and 10% v/v HNO3) in a plastic syringe to form a solid-oil-water emulsion. Then, emulsion breaking was assisted by membrane filtration. The total extraction procedure took approximately 1 min, in opposition to 25 (centrifugation) and 50 min (heating). Extraction yields ranged from 94.8 to 114.3% for Co and from 85.9 to 108.4% for Ni. The limits of detection and quantification were, respectively, 24.73 and 82.45 μg Kg−1 for Co and 49.05 and 163.5 μg Kg−1 for Ni. Recoveries ranged from 92.1 (Ni) to 105.4% (Co). [Display omitted] •A new experimental set-up of extraction induced by emulsion breaking is presented.•Membrane filtration eliminates the heating and/or centrifugation step.•The method was applied to extract Co and Ni from chocolate bars.•Analytes were determined by GF AAS with good precision and accuracy.•The proposed method was simpler and faster than conventional EIEB approach.
