Dispersive solid‐phase extraction of selected nitrophenols from environmental water samples using a zirconium‐based amino‐tagged metal–organic framework nanosorbent

Abstract

This study has centered on the establishment of an efficient, simple and reliable dispersive solid-phase extraction method followed by an accurate trace determination of selected nitrophenols as a class of compounds with high toxicity and low degradability. To achieve the above goal, a zirconium-based amino-tagged metal-organic framework nanosorbent was synthesized, characterized and eventually employed for the extraction of two nitrophenols from various environmental water samples. Once the extraction of analytes had occurred, they were desorbed from the metal-organic framework sorbent using an appropriate mixed solvent followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Under the optimal extraction conditions, the calibration curves for the analytes were linear over the concentration range of 1-200 μg/L. The accuracy of the method was tested by the relative recovery experiments on the fortified real samples with the results falling within the range of 91 to 106%, while the corresponding precisions varied in the span of 4.6-9.0%. Based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, the method detection limits were determined to be 0.5 μg/L for both analytes.

Ultrasonic-Assisted and Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Phenolics and Terpenoids from Abelmoschus sagittifolius (Kurz) Merr Roots Using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents

“…The sorbents with high porosity and surface area showed a high extraction efficiency of targets from samples. This technique is commonly used to extract bisphenol, atrazine, nitrophenol, carbonyl derivatives, hippuric acid, methyl hippuric acid, and sulfonamides from various types of water, such as drinking water, wastewater, and environmental water. − Innovative methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have been developed to address these disadvantages of conventional extraction . However, one of the disadvantages of SFE is high-cost devices .…”

Determination of diazinon in water and food samples using magnetic solid‐phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography

“…Dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (D-µ-SPE) using magnetic sorbents as a simple version of SPE has been used to determine various analytes such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and organic contaminants from different matrices [38][39][40][41]. In dispersive magnetic SPE, the sorbent is dispersed by agitation techniques such as vortex or sonication in the sample solution.…”

Liquid chromatographic determination of trace levels of nitrophenols in water samples after dispersive magnetic solid phase extraction

“…Besides, in DSPE use of a much smaller amount of sorbent and solvent are needed and the extraction time is short as compared to the traditional SPE. Various nanoadsorbent such as amino modified mesostructured cellular foam , metal‐organic frameworks , MCM‐41@NH 2 amino‐based silica‐coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) , and nanomagnetic titanium dioxide graphene has been employed in DSPE method. Magnetic dispersive SPE (MDSPE) is an attractive mode of SPE, which is extremely employed in sample preparation .…”
