title: Self-assembled magnetic nanoparticle supported zeolitic imidazolate framework-8: An efficient adsorbent for the enrichment of triazine herbicides from fruit, vegetables, and water.
abstract: Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks have positive surface charges and high adsorption capabilities. In this work, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 and negatively charged magnetic nanoparticles were self-assembled by electrostatic attraction under sonication. The extraction performance of the synthesized hybrid material was evaluated by using it as a magnetic adsorbent for the enrichment of triazine herbicides in various sample matrices prior to analysis using ultrafast liquid chromatography. The main parameters, that is, extraction time, adsorbent dosage, salt concentration, and desorption conditions, were evaluated. Under the optimum conditions, good linear responses from 2.5 to 200 ng/mL for atrazine (simazine) and 1 to 200 ng/mL for prometryn (ametryn), with correlation coefficients (R2) higher than 0.9992 were obtained. The detection limits of the method (S/N = 3) were 0.18-0.72 ng/mL. The proposed method was successfully used to determine triazine herbicides in six samples, namely, apple, pear, strawberry, pakchoi, lettuce, and water. The amounts of simazine in all the fruit and vegetable samples were 10.8-25.2 ng/mL. The recoveries of all the analytes were 88.0-101.9%, with relative standard deviations of less than 8.8%.
