PG - 2451-7 LID - 10.1016/j.talanta.2011.07.106 [doi] AB - A porous polysulfone microcapsule containing organic modified montmorillonite and magnetic nanoparticles (OMMT-Fe(3)O(4)@PSF) has been successfully prepared by a phase-inversion method and evaluated as a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) sorbent for clean-up and enrichment of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) in aqueous samples. Compared with a microcapsule containing the conventional extraction sorbent C18 (C18-Fe(3)O(4)@PSF), OMMT-Fe(3)O(4)@PSF had much lower cost, a faster adsorption rate, and superior uptake amounts for the investigated analytes. The proposed microcapsule has been developed for the extraction of 4-CP and 2-CP from environmental water samples and their analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Various parameters, such as pH, extraction time, the mass of sorbent, and the desorption conditions, have been evaluated and the calibration curves of the chlorophenols were linear (R(2) >/= 0.9985) in the range from 1.01 to 104.5 ng mL(-1). The limits of detection at a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 3 were 0.22 and 0.17 ng mL(-1) and the limits of quantification calculated at S/N=10 were 1.52 and 1.07 ng mL(-1) for 2-CP and 4-CP, respectively. The recoveries of 2-CP and 4-CP from natural water and the treated wastewater samples were in the range of 84.4-115% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 7.0%. The results have demonstrated the suitability of the MSPE approach for the analysis of trace chlorophenols in aqueous samples. CI - Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
