Özet

© 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.This study presents a simple, sensitive, and accurate method for the determination of nickel by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Prior to instrumental measurement, a deep eutectic solvent-based simultaneous complexation and preconcentration (DES-SCP) method was used to preconcentrate nickel from aqueous solution into measurable quantities. The efficiency of the extraction method was enhanced by forming a non-ionic complex of nickel using dithizone as ligand. By mixing the ligand with the DES extractant, simultaneous complexation and preconcentration of nickel were achieved in a single step. Under optimum conditions of the extraction method, the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) values were found to be 2.4 and 8.0 ng/mL, respectively. With respect to direct FAAS measurement, the developed method enhanced the sensitivity of nickel determination by about 169 folds. The accuracy and applicability of the developed method were evaluated by performing spike recovery experiments with lake water sampled from Antarctica. Satisfactory recovery results in the range of 94.0–113.7% were recorded and this validated the developed method as an efficient and green alternative for nickel determination.
