Application of polyphenylmethylsiloxane coated fiber for solid-phase microextraction combined with microwave-assisted extraction for the determination of organochlorine pesticides in Chinese teas.
Polyphenylmethylsiloxane (PPMS) as a novel coating for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) has been applied to determine the concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in Chinese teas. The characteristics of PPMS fiber, the extraction modes of SPME, the extraction time, temperature, and salt effects were investigated. Microwave irradiation time and power were also studied. Compared with commercial polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fiber and homemade sol-gel polymethylsiloxane (PMS) fiber, the novel porous sol-gel PPMS fiber exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for OCPs compounds, higher thermal stability (to 350 degrees C) and long service life (more than 150 times). The recoveries of MAE is compared with that of ultrasonic extraction (USE), MAE-SPME-gas chromatography (GC)/electron-capture detection (ECD) methods showed better results for Chinese teas. Linear ranges of OCPs in the blank green tea was 0.1-10(3) ng/l. Detection limits of this method are below 0.081 ng/l. Recoveries of this method are between 39.05 and 94.35%. The repeatability of the technique was less than 16% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.). The tested pesticides in three Chinese teas were at the ng/g level.
