Since the implementation of Green Chemistry into analytical practice, significant efforts have been made to improve the sustainability of chemical analysis. These include reducing the use of hazardous chemicals and solvents, minimizing waste, and improving energy efficiency. Surfactants can be applied in chemical analysis as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional solvents and chemicals. The use of surfactants can increase extraction efficiency by improving solubility, increasing selectivity, and reducing organic solvent consumption. In addition, surfactants can also reduce interference with the sample matrix and improve limits of detection. This review covers recent developments in surfactant-based extraction techniques, highlighting the use of surfactants in both liquid-phase and solid-phase extraction. The main principles of surfactant-based extraction methods are discussed, as well as their application as assisting agents or surface modifiers. The effects of deep eutectic solvents on surfactants micellization and the application of biocompatible surfactants are also discussed.
