Abstract The centrifuge-less dispersive liquidliquid microextraction (DLLME) technique was used to separate selenium species in aqueous samples. According to the salting-out effect, a simple approach was used to eliminate the centrifugation step. The optimization of the independent variables was performed using chemometric methods. Under optimal conditions, this methodology was statistically validated. The linearity was between 20 and 300 μg L−1. The limit of detection and quantification were calculated 3.4 μg L−1 and 10.4 μg L−1, respectively. The values of reproducibility and repeatability were determined ≤ 9.5% and ≤ 6.4, respectively. The possibility of the method was successfully assessed by analyzing the analytes in real samples clarified satisfactory recoveries (98.1– 101.4% for Se (IV) and 98.4–101.5% for Se (VI)).

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique has been applied since the end of 2006. It was the consequence of researchers’ attempt to find a way to reduce certain problems encountered during sample preparation. The DLLME is an extraction technique developed within the last decade that involves the dispersion of fine droplets of extraction solvent in an aqueous sample. Partitioning of analytes into the extraction phase is instantaneous due to the very high collective surface area of the droplets. Hence, high enrichment factors and very low solvent consumption were achieved in comparison with conventional extraction techniques (Quigley et al. 2016). This method also aimed to overcome the incompatibility with the twelve principles of green analytical chemistry (Lichtfouse 2005). The advantages of this method have led to its widespread use in preparing the sample and preconcentrations of the organic and inorganic analytes in various matrices. Low solvent consumption, high speed, and simplicity are considered as some advantages of the
