Abstract:
This review focuses on magnetic nanomaterials as sorbents for trace elements analysis in environmental and biological samples. The design and preparation of magnetic nanomaterials with specific functional groups for trace elemental analysis are summarized, along with relevant adsorption mechanism. The application of these magnetic sorbents in different operation modes for the quantification of trace elements and their species in environmental and biological samples are discussed. The trend of development in this field is also prospected.
