Preparation of a magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer on fibrous silica nanosphere via self-polycondensation for micro solid-phase extraction of chlorpyrifos

Abstract

Throughout this research, a new magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer on fibrous silica nanosphere was prepared through self-polycondensation. The selective extraction of chlorpyrifos was performed by the synthesized sorbent and as a determination system, a gas chromatography-electron capture was applied. The formation of sorbent was confirmed through the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy techniques. The parameters affecting the extraction efficacy of the proposed method were scrutinized in an optimized way. The linear range and the detection limit of the studied method were 0.003–0.3 and 0.001 ng mL−1, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 4.1–5.2 and 5.6–7.6 % for intra- and inter-day (n = 3), respectively. To assess the performance of the proposed method, some water and fruit samples were analyzed and the extraction recoveries of 83–109 % were obtained. These results revealed the method's performance in the analysis of chlorpyrifos in real samples.
