A novel ultrasound assisted-thin film microextraction method based on the application of ZnO NPs/polyamide/cellulose paper was introduced for the determination of OPPs.
In this research, a novel monolithic mixed matrix membrane based on silver nanoparticles reinforced nylon 6 was prepared by in situ reduction of silver nitrate salt in a formic acid solution of nylon 6. The phase separation method was employed to deposit prepared nanocomposite onto a stainless steel substrate. The characterization of nylon 6 and silver nanoparticles/nylon 6 nanocomposite coated stir bars were conducted applying scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The prepared stir bar was employed for the stir bar sorptive extraction of organophosphorus pesticides such as ethion, phosalone, and chlorpyrifos in environmental water samples applying gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The effect of the silver nanoparticles doping level in the nanocomposite on the extraction efficiency of the monolithic mixed matrix membrane was studied. Multivariate optimization based on the central composite design was employed to study and optimize essential parameters affecting the extraction and elution steps. The limits of detection were 0.2 and 0.3 ng/mL and the linear dynamic ranges were in the concentration range of 0.7-1000 and 1-1000 ng/mL for all analytes. The method precision based on relative standard deviation by performing six replicates ranged from 2.4 to 7.4% for spiked distilled water (100 ng/mL).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
