Metal-organic framework functionalized with deep eutectic solvent for solid-phase extraction of Rhodamine 6G in water and cosmetic products.

Abstract

An NH2 -MIL-53(Al)-DES(ChCl-Urea) nanocomposite was synthesized for extraction and determination of Rhodamine (Rh) 6G from environmental and cosmetic samples. The deep eutectic solvent (DES) was prepared by mixing choline chloride and urea in a mole ratio of 1:2. NH2 -MIL-53(Al)-DES(ChCl-Urea) nanocomposite was synthesized using the impregnation method at a ratio of 60:40 (w/w). The optimum conditions were determined after NH2 -MIL-53(Al)-DES(ChCl-Urea) characterization was performed. The optimum conditions were determined as pH 8, adsorbent amount of 15mg, total adsorption-desorption time of 6min, and enrichment factor of 20. The recovery values of the solid-phase extraction method for water and cosmetic samples under optimum conditions were between 95% and 106%. NH2 -MIL-53(Al)-DES(ChCl-Urea) nanocomposite was an economically advantageous adsorbent because of its reusability of 15 times. All analyses were performed using the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The linear range, limit of detection, and limit of quantification of the method were 100-1000, 9.80, and 32.68μg/L, respectively. The obtained results showed that the synthesized nanocomposite is a suitable adsorbent for the determination of Rh 6G in water and cosmetic samples. The real sample applications were verified with the high-performance liquid chromatography system.
