Abstract
The salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) was developed for the analysis of four pesticides (cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, and thiamethoxam) in water samples. For its optimization, a 2³ factorial design was used to evaluate the simultaneous behavior of three factors: sample and extraction solvent ratio, saline concentration, and stirring mode. A 1.0 mL saline solution (NaCl) was added to the single-phase mixture of water and extraction solvent to separate the phases. The mixture was stirred, allowed to stand and the top organic phase containing the pesticides of interest was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with electron capture detector (GC/ECD). The optimized method was validated for some merit figures. The limit of detection of the method ranged from 0.15 to 5.5 µg L-1 and the limit of quantification from 5.5 to 18.2 µg L-1. The method showed satisfactory results for the linearity (R2 ≥ 0,990), precision (CV < 9 %) and accuracy (72 % ≤ recovery ≤ 90 %) for all the assessed analytes. The method showed to be simple, efficient and inexpensive for the extraction of pesticide residues. The validated method was applied to ten samples of water collected in the Zona da Mata region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
