The non-ionic silicone surfactant (OFX 0309) has been applied in cloud point extraction for the extraction of triazine herbicides in food samples. Evidence has shown that the non-ionic silicone surfactant demonstrated a good performance as an extractor toward triazine herbicides. In this present study, OFX 0309 surfactant was combined with activated charcoal (AC) due to their valuable properties. Activated charcoal modified with non-ionic silicone surfactant coated with magnetic nanoparticles (AC-OFX MNPs) was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, VSM, SEM, TEM and BET. This novel material was applied as a magnetic adsorbent for the pre-concentration and separation of triazine herbicides due to hydrophobic interaction between polysiloxane polyether of OFX 0309 surfactant and triazine herbicides. Under optimal conditions, the proposed magnetic solid phase extraction method using AC-OFX MNPs adsorbent was applied to extract triazine herbicides from selected milk and rice samples using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector. The validation method revealed a good linearity (1 - 500 μg L) with the coefficient of determination (R) in the range of 0.992-0.998 for the samples. The limits of detection (LOD) of the developed method were 0.04 - 0.05 µg L (milk sample) and 0.02 - 0.05 µg L (rice sample). The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.134 - 0.176 µg L (milk sample) and 0.075 - 0.159 µg L (rice sample). The recoveries of the triazine compounds ranged from 81% to 109% in spiked milk samples and from 81% to 111% in spiked rice samples, with relative standard deviations (RSD) values lower than 13.5% and 12.1% for milk and rice samples, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that have investigated the use of magnetic nanoparticles coated activated charcoal modified with OFX 0309 surfactant for pretreatment of triazine herbicides in food samples analysis for simultaneous separation of organic pollutants.
非离子型硅氧烷表面活性剂(OFX 0309)已应用于浊点萃取法中,以萃取食品样品中的三嗪类除草剂。有证据表明,非离子型硅氧烷表面活性剂作为三嗪类除草剂的萃取剂表现出良好的性能。在本研究中,由于其具有宝贵的特性,将非离子型硅氧烷表面活性剂 OFX 0309 与活性炭(AC)结合使用。用非离子型硅氧烷表面活性剂涂覆的磁性纳米粒子(AC-OFX MNPs)改性的活性炭被合成并通过 FT-IR、VSM、SEM、TEM 和 BET 进行了表征。由于 OFX 0309 表面活性剂的聚硅氧烷聚醚与三嗪类除草剂之间存在疏水相互作用,这种新型材料被用作磁性吸附剂,用于预浓缩和分离三嗪类除草剂。在最佳条件下,使用 AC-OFX MNPs 吸附剂的磁性固相反相萃取方法被用于使用高效液相色谱法与二极管阵列检测器从选定的牛奶和大米样品中提取三嗪类除草剂。该验证方法表明,对于样品,线性度良好(1-500μg/L),相关系数(R)在 0.992-0.998 范围内。该方法的检出限(LOD)为 0.04-0.05μg/L(牛奶样品)和 0.02-0.05μg/L(大米样品)。定量限(LOQ)分别为 0.134-0.176μg/L(牛奶样品)和 0.075-0.159μg/L(大米样品)。三嗪化合物在牛奶样品中的加标回收率在 81%-109%之间,在大米样品中的加标回收率在 81%-111%之间,相对标准偏差(RSD)值分别低于 13.5%和 12.1%,用于牛奶和大米样品。据我们所知,这是首次研究使用涂覆有 OFX 0309 表面活性剂的磁性纳米粒子改性活性炭预处理食品样品中的三嗪类除草剂,以同时分离有机污染物。
