Abstract
An analytical method of microspheric brominated covalent organic framework (Br-COF)-online solid-phase extraction integrated with high-performance liquid chromatography (online SPE-HPLC) was proposed for efficiently enriching six polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in foods. The Br-COF microspheres were facilely prepared with uniformity and dispersion by a size-controllable synthesis at the room temperature. Attributed to multiple interactions of the halogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interaction along with size-matching effect, Br-COF performed satisfactory extraction capacity for PBDEs compared with commercial adsorbents. Five primary influencing factors were optimized, including loading solvent, loading flow rate, elution solvent, elution flow rate and elution volume. Under the optimal parameters, the implement displayed excellent linear ranges (0.5–500 ng mL−1) and low detection limits (0.01–0.05 ng mL−1). The relative recoveries in six spiked food samples ranged from 87.8 to 119.7 % with relative standard deviations below 10 %. This research estabished a promising platform for quantitatively determining trace PBDEs in complex foods.
