dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method for the simultaneous determination of four isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane and six pyrethroid pesticides in milk by gas chromatography electron capture detector

In this study, a simple and rapid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method was established, and the residuals of four isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane and six kinds of pyrethroid pesticides in milk were simultaneously determined by gas chromatography electron capture detector (gc-ecd). the milk sample was first extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned with primary secondary amine (psa). then 0.5 ml of acetonitrile was mixed with 140 μl of cyclohexane and rapidly injected into 3 ml of pure water. after vortexing and centrifugation, the floating phase was removed with a 0.1-ml pipette into the gc-ecd. the type and volume of extraction solvent, volume of disperser solvent, volume of water, vortex time, and amount of salt were optimized. under optimal extraction conditions, the ten pesticides showed a good linear relationship in a certain concentration range in milk matrix, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.99. the limits of detection ranged from 0.07 to 2 μg/kg, and the limits of quantitation ranged from 0.2 to 5 μg/kg. the average recovery rates were between 70.1% and 106.3%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 15.2%. this method can be used for the determination of hexachlorocyclohexane and pyrethroid pesticides in milk and for subsequent research.
