We describe here the amino-functionalization of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and also its application as an adsorbent of solid phase extraction (SPE). The amino-functionalized MWCNTs have a good capacity to retain Hg2+, but the raw and purified MWCNTs are found not to adsorb Hg2+ ions. The amino-functionalized MWCNTs are prepared with amino-functionalization of purified MWCNTs by ethylenediamine. The physicochemical properties of purified and amino-functionalized MWCNTs are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and the Boehm titration. The amino-functionalized MWCNTs are selected as novel sorbents for the solid phase extraction of Hg2+. The amino-functionalized MWCNT-SPE method is used for the determination of Hg2+ from complex matrix including fish and real water samples. Effective parameters on Hg2+ retention such as pH, flowrate, nature of the eluent, the ionic strength, selectivity coefficient, and retention capacity are investigated. The enrichment factor and maximum capacity of the sorbent are 100 mL and 11.58 mg/g, respectively. The linear range, limit of detection, and relative standard deviation of the proposed method are 0.003 to 0.3 μg/L, 1.25×10−3 μg/L, and 2.23%, respectively. Selectivity experiments show that the adsorbents have a stronger specific retention for Hg2+ than Fe3+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+.

In this study, a novel synthesis adsorbent, 1-(3-aminopropyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate functionlized on multiwall carbon nanotubes ([Apmim][PF6]-MWCNTs, IL@MWCNTS) was used for nickel/lead (Ni/Pb) extraction and determination by dispersive ionic liquid micro solid-phase extraction (DIL-μ-SPE) coupled to electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS). After dilution of 20 mg of IL@MWCNTS in 200 μL of acetone, the mixture was injected to 10 mL of human serum/urine samples at pH of 8.0. After sonication for 5 min, the Ni(II) / Pb(II) were extracted by ionic liquid phase and then centrifuged for 2.5 min. The upper liquid phase set aside and Ni(II) / Pb(II) loaded in adsorbent were back-extracted by acidic solution at pH=2-3. Finally, the concentration of total nickel and lead was determined by ET-AAS. By optimizing, the limit of detection, linear range, and enrichment factor for nickel and lead were obtained (0.05 μg L−1; 0.1 μg L−1), (0.2-5.8 μg L−1; 0.4-30 μg L−1) and 24.7; 5.1, respectively (RSD less than 5%). Also, the capacity absorption of IL@MWCNTS for nickel and lead ions were achieved 149.3 mg g-1 and 162.5 mg g-1, respectively.  The DIL-μ-SPE procedure was validated for nickel and lead extraction by spiking of real samples and ICP-MS analyzer.

Background: Cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) have acute and chronic effects on humans and other living organisms. In the present work, new, green and accurate dispersive micro solid-phase extraction (DμSPE) method for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions in various food, water and tobacco samples collected from Saudi Arabia prior to its Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometric (FAAS) determinations was developed. Methods: The proposed method was based on a combination of oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) with a new chelating agent 5-benzyl-4-[4-methoxybenzylideneamino)-4H- 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (BMBATT) to enrich and separate trace levels of Cd2+ and Pb2+. The effect of separation parameters was investigated. The validation of the proposed preconcentration procedure was performed using certified reference materials. Results: Analyte recovery values ranged from 95-102%, indicating that the method is highly accurate. Furthermore, precision was demonstrated by the relative standard deviation (RSD < 3.0%). The limits of detection were 0.08 and 0.1 μg L−1 for Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions, respectively. The preconcentration factor was 200. Conclusion: The proposed method was used for the estimation of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ion content in various real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. The proposed method has high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption equilibrium, extremely low LODs, high preconcentration factors and shortens the time of sample preparation in comparison to classical SPE.

A simple and efficient solid-phase extraction – spectrofluorimetric method has been developed to determine glutathione (GSH). Fluorescent probe N-(4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-yl)methyl)iodoacetamide (BODIPY Fl-C1-IA) was used as the derivatization reagent. The procedure was based on a BODIPY Fl-C1-IA selective reaction with GSH to form the highly fluorescent product BODIPY Fl-C1-IA–GSH, using a solid-phase extraction column and spectrofluorimetric determination. The variables affecting analytical performance were studied and optimized. The calibration graph using the preconcentration system for GSH was linear over the range of 1–200 nmol/L with a limit of detection of 0.05 nmol/L (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The relative standard deviation for six replicate determinations of GSH at the 100 nmol/L concentration level was 3.9%. The method was applied to water samples and average recoveries between 87.5% and 111.5% were obtained for spiked samples.

A new solid phase extraction procedure was developed for preconcentration of iron(II) using silica gel-polyethylene glycol (silica-PEG) as an adsorbent. The method is based on retention of iron(II) as 2,2′ bipyridine complex on silica-PEG. The retained complex is eluted by 1.0 mol L−1of sulfuric acid-acetone mixture (1:2) and its absorbance is measured at 518 nm, spectrophotometrically. The effects of different parameters such as pH, concentration of the reagent, eluting reagent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent, and interfering ions were investigated. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 1–60 ng mL−1of iron(II). The limit of detection based on3Sbwas 0.57 ng mL−1and relative standard deviations (R.S.D) for ten replicate measurements of 12 and 42 ng mL−1of iron(II) were 2.4 and 1.7%, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of of iron(II) in water, multivitamin tablet, and spinach samples.

We report a novel solid-phase extraction adsorbent for the preconcentration of three phthalate esters (PAEs) from aqueous samples. The material was obtained by modifying multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with mesoporous silica. The structural characterization of the adsorbent was conducted by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N 2 adsorption–desorption measurement, which confirmed the successful coating of mesoporous silica on MWCNTs and the adsorbent possessing large surface and porous structure. The effects of adsorbent amount, type and volume of eluent and sample pH on extraction efficiency were optimized. Following extraction, the PAEs were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Under optimal conditions, the recoveries ranged from 89.8% to 96.3%. The calibration plot was linear in the 3–1000 ng⋅mL-1 concentration range, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9993 to 0.9995. The repeatability of the method, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), ranged from 3.8% to 7.7% (for n = 5). Limits of detection (LODs) were between 0.28 ng mL-1 and 0.53 ng⋅mL-1. The relative recoveries (RR) for spiked river water, pond water and tap water samples were in the ranges of 80.9–98.0%, 82.7–96.1% and 88.3–95.5%, respectively. The results showed that the method obviously had a large potential for preconcentration and determination of PAEs in environmental samples.
