Abstract
In the present study, preparation of CuBTC-monopol monoliths for use within the microchip solid phase extraction was undertaken through a 20-min UV lamp-assisted polymerization for 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl acetophenone (DMPA), butyl methacrylate (BMA), and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) alongside inclusion of the porogenic solvent system (1-propanol and methanol (1 : 1)). The resultant coating underwent coating using CuBTC nanocrystals in ethanolic solution of ethanolic solution of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC, 10 mM) and 10 mM copper(II) acetate Cu(CH3COO)2. This paper reports enhanced extraction, characterization, and synthesis studies for porous CuBTC metal organic frameworks that are marked by different methods including SEM/EDAX analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The evaluation of the microchip's performance was undertaken as sorbent through retrieval of six toxic dyes (anionic and cationic dyes). Various parameters (desorption and extraction step flow rates, volume of desorption solvent, volume of sample, and type of desorption solvent) were examined to optimize dye extraction using fabricated microchips. The result indicated that CuBTC-monopol monoliths were permeable with the ability of removing impurities and attained high toxic dye extraction recovery (83.4–99.9%). The assessment of reproducibility for chip-to-chip was undertaken by computing the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the six dyes in extraction. The interbatch and intrabatch RSDs ranged between 3.8 and 6.9% and 2.3 and 4.8%. Such features showed that fabricated CuBTC-monopol monolithic disk polycarbonate microchips have the potential of extracting toxic dyes that could be utilized for treating wastewater.
Highlights
For instance, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constitute an interesting category of crystalline components [1,2,3,4] that are based on the combination of metallic clusters or ions with complex organic connectors, forming extended sequenced networks [5,6,7,8,9]
Significant research attention has been accorded to MOFs because of their low density [10,11,12], adsorption capacity [13], chemical and thermal stabilities [14], large surface area [15], high porosity [16, 17], and large-sized pores [18]. eir three-dimensional (3D) crystalline structures are made from organic linkers, metallic clusters, or metallic ions [19,20,21,22]
A traditional technique for MOF synthesis is through solvothermal reaction that generated fine-particle powder [23,24,25]
