Magnetic solid-phase extraction based on nano-zeolite imidazolate framework-8-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide for the quantification of residual fungicides in water, honey and fruit juices

Abstract

In this work, zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4@APTES-GO/ZIF-8) was successfully synthesized and used as a novel adsorbent in magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) for the determination of four triazole fungicides in water, honey and fruit juices. The main parameters such as extraction time, amount of adsorbent, the pH value of the sample, ionic strength, and desorption solvent which could affect the experiment results were optimization. Under the optimum condition, the obtained linearity of this method ranged from 1 to 1000 µg L−1 for all analytes, with correlation coefficients (R2) ≥ 0.9914. Limit of detections (LODs) and limit of qualifications (LOQs) of four triazole fungicides were ranged from 0.014 to 0.109 µg L−1 and from 0.047 to 0.365 µg L−1, respectively. Based on comparison with outcomes from other studies, Fe3O4@APTES-GO/ZIF-8-MSPE could provide high performance and achieve satisfied results for the analysis of trace triazole fungicides in complicated matrices.
