The ultrasound-assisted emulsification–solidified floating organic drop microextraction (USAE–SFODME) methodology was combined with flow injection–lame atomic absorption spectrometry (FI–FAAS) for the separation/preconcentration and determination of palladium at ultratrace level. In this method, the palladium ion in the aqueous solution was complexed with acetylacetone (6 × 10−3 mol L−1) in the pH range of 1–7 and was extracted into 40 µL of 1-undecanol, which was sonically dispersed in the aqueous phase. |
