Abstract
Direct determination of lead trace concentration in the presence of relatively complex matrices is often a problem. Thus, its preconcentration and separation are necessary in the analytical procedures. Graphene-based nanomaterials have attracted significant interest as potential adsorbents for Pb(II) preconcentration and removal due to their high specific surface area, exceptional porosities, numerous adsorption sites and functionalization ease. Particularly, incorporation of magnetic particles with graphene adsorbents offers an effective approach to overcome the separation problems after a lead enrichment step. This paper summarizes the developments in the applications of graphene-based adsorbents in conventional solid-phase extraction column packing and its alternative approaches in the past 5 years.
