“…These difficulties are overcome with solid phase extraction (SPE) that has advantages of reduced analyzing time, easy manipulation, lesser amount of solvent, no disposal of large quantities of organic solvents, higher concentration factor, no problem with the miscibility of solvent, easily adaptable for very selective extraction, easy automatization, avoids problems such as incomplete phase separations, less‐than‐quantitative recoveries, and emulsion formation. This technique has been widely used for separation and preconcentration of metal ions 8–17. In SPE studies, the suitable adsorbent usage is a critical factor to get high enrichment efficiency 18.…”
