“…Therefore, various ILs have been used as extraction solvents of DLLME, such as 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM][PF6]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, tetradecyl (trihexyl) phosphonium chloride, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [ 23 , 28 ], which are typically recognized as green solvents in analytical chemistry [ 29 ], thereby deriving the IL-DLLME approach. Neurotransmitters [ 30 ], anthraquinones [ 31 ], phthalate esters [ 32 ], organic dyes [ 33 ], metal ions [ 34 , 35 ], pesticides [ 36 , 37 ], antibiotics [ 38 , 39 ], and other biological compounds, as well as food and environmental pollutants, have all been focused using IL-DLLME. However, the IL has not yet been used to extract antifouling biocides from water samples.…”
