Extraction of analyte(s) from an aqueous solution by fine droplets of extraction phase dispersed throughout the solution.
Notes: - The extraction phase is formed by a mixture of extraction and dispersion solvents injected into the sample solution.
- The extraction phase can be formed by ion exchange when an ionic liquid is used as the extraction solvent.
- The extraction phase is sedimented by centrifugation and collected for analysis.
