the electrodeposition of metals
See Patented via Nth Cycle for metal electro extraction process. Electroextraction (EE) is a sample enrichment technique that focuses charged analytes from a large volume of one phase into a small volume of aqueous phase through the application of an electric current. The technique was originally developed as a separation technique for chemical engineering, but has since been coupled to capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry as a means of improving limits of detection, analysis time, and selectivity. The use of EE CE has made capillary electrophoresis more applicable to use in the pharmaceutical industry.

The term electroextraction is used to describe multiple processes. In this article, electroextraction describes the extraction of charged particles through a liquid phase barrier. The term can be used to describe electrowinning, which is the extraction of metals from their compounds via electrochemical processes. Electroextraction also describes a process of permeating bioproducts from a cell membrane using an electric field.

Johann Stichlmair developed electroextraction at the University of Essen in Germany in 1987 as an improvement on liquid liquid extraction in an electric field. Electric fields are applied to enhance the demixing of a sample in a two phase system. However, as current flows through the system, the resulting convective mixing disrupts separation. Electroextraction corrects for this. Two or three liquid phases that are electrically conductive and immiscible with one another are kept between electrodes, and upon addition of an electric field, charged particles travel from one phase to another separating anions and cations. A two phase system brings anions into one phase and cations into the other. A three phase system extracts anions and cations into the two outer phases while leaving uncharged particles in the middle phase. Convective mixing is restricted to each phase and does not travel between phases. A diagram is given in figure 1. Organic phases that are used typically have small amounts of water added in order to be conductive. Other possible phases include mixtures of water and highly polymerized substances, or water with non ionic surfactants. The velocity of a particle crossing the phase barrier is directly proportional to the strength of the applied electric field, so 100% separation is achieved with a strong enough field.

A diagram of an electroextraction apparatus is shown in figure 2. The apparatus consists of a vial with a conical bottom, a grounded platinum electrode, a capillary to inject the aqueous solution, and an adjustable gold anode with a circular bottom that contacts the entire organic phase. EE is also often performed in a capillary electrophoresis capillary. This is referred to as capillary electroextraction, or cEE. In this set up, shown in figure 3, a capillary containing aqueous phase is placed in a vial of organic phase and surrounded by a hallow cathode. The outlet of the capillary is then grounded. When EE is coupled to isotachophoresis coupled to capillary electrophoresis, limits of detection decrease to the nanomolar range and isotachophoresis takes only a few minutes to complete. Similar limits of detections are obtained when EE is coupled to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. In addition, sample enrichment by EE helps overcome the low injection volumes and short optical path length of UV Vis detectors that accompany CE. EE coupled to liquid chromatography also successfully detects low concentration metabolites in urine for the purpose of studying metabolic processes. In addition, EE ITP CE has been used in the determination of the drugs clenbuterol, salbutamol, terbutaline, and fenoterol.
