PG - 409-416 LID - 10.3724/SP.J.1123.2022.09016 [doi] AB - In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on silica rod (SiO(2)) composite materials were prepared to extract six perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in real environmental water samples by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The as-synthesized sorbents, hereafter referred to as CNT@SiO(2), were employed for dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE). Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) were selected as target analytes. The main extraction parameters were systematically optimized using the single-factor optimization method. The optimum adsorption parameters were as follows: adsorption time of 30 min, sorbent amount of 10 mg, pH 6 and NaCl concentration of 1.7 mol/L for sample solution, and 4 mL acetone as desorption solvent, desorption for 4 min. LC-triple quadrupole MS was conducted to quantify the selected PFCs in water samples. The mobile phase was 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate and methanol, the flow rate was set to 0.4 mL/min, the column temperature was set to 40 ℃, and the injection volume was 5.0 muL. The chromatographic separation system was equipped with a Kinetex C18 column (100 mmx2.1 mm, 1.7 mum). The mass spectrometer was operated with negative electrospray ionization in multi-reaction monitoring mode. CNT@SiO(2) was prepared in five batches and used as the d-SPE sorbent, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the PFC recoveries among these five batches ranged from 4.9% to 9.3%. The reusability of the CNT@SiO(2) sorbent was assessed. After eight d-SPE cycles using the same sorbent, the RSDs of the PFC recoveries were 3.7%-8.2%. These results indicated that the sorbent had good stability and reusability for d-SPE. Excellent results were achieved under optimal extraction conditions. The method validation results indicated that the linear ranges were 0.4-1000 ng/L for PFNA, PFOS, and PFDA, 0.9-1000 ng/L for PFHpA, 0.7-1000 ng/L for PFHxS, and 0.6-1000 ng/L for PFOA. The correlation coefficients were 0.973-0.997. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification of the method were 0.10-0.26 ng/L and 0.33-0.87 ng/L, respectively. At 20 ng/L, the RSDs of the intra- and inter-day precisions were 2.73%-7.75% and 3.38%-8.21%, respectively. At 100 ng/L, the RSDs of the intra- and inter-day precisions were 2.95%-8.46% and 4.16%-9.14%, respectively. Finally, at 500 ng/L, the RSDs of the intra- and inter-day precisions were 2.51%-7.48% and 3.59%-9.63%, respectively. The developed method was applied to analyze six PFCs in tap water, barreled drinking water, and river water samples. PFOA and PFOS were determined in tap water at mass concentrations of 5.6 and 8.7 ng/L, respectively. No PFCs were found in barreled drinking water and river water. Satisfactory recoveries of 72.1%-109.6% at low, middle, and high spiking levels were also obtained. In conclusion, the d-SPE-LC-MS/MS method based on CNT@SiO(2) composite sorbents is accurate and sensitive. The results of this study demonstrate that CNT@SiO(2) is a good choice for the rapid and effective determination of PFCs from water samples. Further exploration of the use of CNT@SiO(2) sorbents for the extraction and determination of trace organic pollutions in environmental samples is in progress.
