Abstract

When creating new analytical procedures, green and ecologically friendly approaches are becoming increasingly important. Electromembrane extraction (EME) has helped to this by providing novel alternatives to commonly used plastic materials. Those formed from biopolymers (such as agarose or chitosan) have lately acquired prominence in EME because they are biodegradable and sustainable, which represents a significant benefit in terms of the environmental effect of these processes. This study will discuss the most recent improvements in EME techniques based on the use of sustainable biopolymer-based materials, including their characteristics and production, as well as their analytical application. Extraction devices and EME procedures will be thoroughly addressed, with an emphasis on their strengths and shortcomings, with the goal of developing analytical approaches for sample processing while contributing to their long-term viability [1].
