Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic droplet (DLLME-SFO) was applied to isolate budesonide (BUD) and sulfasalazine (SULF) from aqueous samples. The effects of different parameters on the efficiency on the extraction such as type of extrahent and dispersive solvent, ionic strength, pH of sample, and centrifugation time were investigated. Moreover, the influence of foreign substances on a studied process was tested. The calibration curves were recorded. The linearity ranges for BUD and SULF were 0.022-8.611 µg mL −1 and 0.020-7.968 µg mL −1 with the limit of detection (LOD) 0.011 µg mL −1 and 0.012 µg mL −1 , respectively. The enrichment factors (EF) for two analytes were high: for BUD it was 145.7 and for SULF, 119.5. The elaborated procedure was applied for HPLC-UV determination of these analytes in water and wastewater samples.was quantitated in a range of different matrices using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection or ultraviolet detection (HPLC-DAD and HPLC-UV) [10][11][12], thin-layer chromatography densitometry [13], nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [14], spectroflourimetry [15] and liquid chromatography/positive-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI(+)-MS/MS [16]. None of the above methods attempted the simultaneous analysis of BUD and SULF in the same sample.The literature review shows that budesonide assays were made in biological samples [7-9], environmental samples [17,18], pharmaceutical formulations, and cosmetic products [19]. SULF was determined in pharmaceutical preparations [13][14][15], human plasma [10,16], water, and wastewater samples [20,21]. SULF was determined in river samples at the concentration of 15-76 ng L −1 and in wastewater samples at 65 ng L −1 (influent) and 266 ng L −1 (effluent) [20].Traditionally, the sample treatment techniques used to isolate pharmaceuticals from water samples have been the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and the solid-phase extraction (SPE) [21]. LLE technique needs large volumes of toxic solvent, and the creation of emulsions is a common problem. However, SPE technique requires column conditioning and a process that is sometimes complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly pretreatment methods is necessary to overcome such disadvantages. Currently, microextraction techniques are often used to separate biologically active substances from aqueous solutions.A novel dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on the solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFO) was introduced by Leong et al. [22]. It involves the use of extraction solvent with a density lower than the density of water and freezing point near to the room temperature. The mixture of the dispersing and extracting solvent is injected into the water sample to form a turbid solution. After centrifugation, the tube is placed in an ice bath to solidify the extractant. The solidified drop is then collected and placed in a conical tube and allowed to melt. The li...
