β-Cyclodextrin based magnetic hyper-crosslinked polymer: A recyclable adsorbent for effective preconcentration of...

High efficiency enrichment and trace analysis of triazine herbicide residues are crucial for ensuring environmental and food safety. Herein, a series of magnetic hyper-crosslinked polymers (CD-gs-MHCPs) were synthesized with different crosslinkers, which might possess different pore structure and surface area, so they might dispay variable adsorption performance. CD-gs-MHCP2 with dichloroxylene as crosslinker delivered superior adsorption ability for triazine herbicides (THs). The synergistic effect of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interaction, π-π stacking interaction and pore adsorption were proved to be the main adsorption mechanism. Combined CD-gs-MHCP2 based magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) with high-performance liquid chromatography, the quantitative analysis of THs in river water and vegetable samples (zucchini, pakchoi) was achieved. Under the optimal conditions, the enrichment factors for three different samples ranged from 94 to 244 and low detection limit (S/N = 3) of the four THs were obtained from 0.05 to 0.15 ng mL^-1 for river water and 0.31-3.10 ng g^-1 for vegetable samples. The method recoveries were in the range of 86.2 %-120 % with relative standard deviations lower than 7.4 %. This work not only offers a new strategy for fabrication β-CD-based HCPs, but also provided a practical and effective method for efficient isolation and sensitive detection of trace THs residues in complex samples.
