In this work, a low toxicity deep eutectic solvent-based ferrofluid is presented for the first time as magnetic fluid to be used as an efficient solvent in liquid-based microextraction techniques. This ferrofluid is made of a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, composed by menthol and thymol in a 1:5 molar ratio as carrier solvent, and oleic acid-coated cobalt ferrite (CoFeO@oleic acid) magnetic nanoparticles. This material was characterized via magnetism measurement, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and density measurement. The determination of UV filters in environmental water samples was selected as model analytical application to test the extraction performance of this new ferrofluid by employing stir bar dispersive liquid microextraction, prior to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The response surface methodology was used as a multivariate optimization method for extraction step. Under the optimized conditions, good analytical features were obtained, such as low limits of detection between 7 and 83 ng L, good repeatability (relative standard deviations, RSD (%) below 15%), enrichment factors between 46 and 101 and relative recoveries between 80 and 117%, proving the good extraction capability of this ferrofluid. Finally, the method was successfully applied to three environmental waters (beach and river waters), finding trace amounts of the target UV filters. The presented low toxicity deep eutectic solvent-based ferrofluid results to be a good alternative to conventional solvents used in liquid-phase microextraction techniques.
在这项工作中,首次提出了一种低毒性的深共晶溶剂基铁磁流体,作为磁性流体用于液相微萃取技术中的有效溶剂。这种铁磁流体由疏水性深共晶溶剂组成,由摩尔比为 1:5 的薄荷醇和百里酚作为载体溶剂,以及油酸包覆的钴铁氧体(CoFeO@油酸)磁性纳米颗粒。通过磁测量、扫描电子显微镜、红外光谱和密度测量对该材料进行了表征。选择环境水样中紫外线滤光剂的测定作为模型分析应用,通过搅拌棒分散液微萃取,在液相色谱-串联质谱分析之前,测试这种新型铁磁流体的萃取性能。响应面法被用作萃取步骤的多元优化方法。在优化条件下,获得了良好的分析特征,如检测限在 7 至 83ng/L 之间,良好的重复性(相对标准偏差(RSD)低于 15%),富集因子在 46 至 101 之间,相对回收率在 80 至 117%之间,证明了这种铁磁流体的良好萃取能力。最后,该方法成功应用于三种环境水样(海滩和河水)中,发现了痕量的目标紫外线滤光剂。所提出的低毒性深共晶溶剂基铁磁流体是传统用于液相微萃取技术的溶剂的良好替代品。
