Fe3O4/CNT Magnetic Nanocomposites as Adsorbents to Remove Organophosphorus Pesticides from Environmental Water
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, a method for extraction and preconcentration of trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in environmental water using magnetic solid phase extraction (magnetic-SPE) followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed. The magnetic carbon nanotube adsorbents (Fe3O4/CNT) were synthesized by grafting carbon nanotubes to magnetic Fe3O4 particles by a facile hydrothermal method. The synthesized Fe3O4/CNT nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). These nanoparticles were used for extraction and preconcentration of OPPs (fenitrothion, profonofus, and ethion) in environmental water samples at low concentration. The influence of four variables including adsorption time, weight of sorbent, salt addition, and pH in the extraction process were predicted and optimized by Response Surface Method (RSM). Under optimized conditions, it showed good linearity between 0.5-10, 0.5-10, 0.5-30 ng ml-1 with determination coefficients (R2) of 0.993, .0995, and 0.994 for extraction of ethion, profonofus, and fenitrothion, respectively. Limit of detection (LOD) for extraction of ethion, profonofus, and fenitrothion were also evaluated under optimized conditions as 0.124, 0.097, and 0.108, respectively. The analysis also showed good reproducibility with the RSD values 4.4, 2.7, and 4.5 at the 10 ng ml-1 level (n = 5) for ethion, profonofus, and fenitrothion, respectively.

Mesoporous materials can be generally used as adsorbents to remove impurities from gases. During the past few years, H2S has been removed from natural gas using materials such as dolomite, zeolites, and industrial compounds, which can be widely used by oil and natural gas companies. The present study focused on the use of Zeolite 13X and Zinox 380 as H2S adsorbent at 25 C. They were characteriz...

In this paper, single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) suspensions were added dropwise to silica particles before volatising the solvent to prepare a core-shell composite adsorbent with SWCNTs wrapped around silica particles (SWCNTs@Silica). The composite adsorbent was used as packing for the solid phase extraction (SPE) and the enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in water. The results...

ABSTRACT-Nowadays farmers often use N-fertilizers to increase crop yield, but they lost quickly by leaching causes environmental contaminations that reported as most important source of pollutant. Although biofilters are useful for removing nitrate from drainage water, but many researches show that they need an external carbon source to sustain denitrification. Many researchers study on differe...

Background: Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture, homes, gardens, and veterinary practices. Extensive application of pesticides in agriculture often results in residues of these compounds being absorbed into the foods, including wheat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the residue levels of 20 organophosphorus pesticides in wheat samples collected from different region...
