Determination of Phenolic Compounds in Environmental Water by HPLC Combination with On-Line Solid-Phase Extraction Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

摘要

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized using halloysite nanotubes (HNT) as matrix, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and methyl propyl acid (MAA) as functional monomers, and 2,4,6-TCP as template molecule by graft copolymerization. Infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized imprinted polymer. The selective recognizability of the MIP towards four phenolic analogs were determined and the recognition coefficients for 2,4,6-TCP, 2,6-DCP, 4-CP and phenol were found to be 2.17, 1.85, 2.02 and 1.36, respectively. Using as the packing material of solid-phase extraction, the imprinted polymer has been applied to on-line extraction of the four phenolic compounds in environmental water. The corresponding analytical methods to determine these four phenolic compounds have been developed. Good linear relationships were obtained over the range of 0.05 similar to 5.0 mg.L-1. The average recoveries for spiked samples were in the range of 74.8 similar to 97.2%, and the detection limits for 2,4,6-TCP, 2,6-DCP, p-chlorophenol, phenol were 0.19, 0.20, 0.75, 0.73 mg.L-1, respectively. The method is rapid, accurate and high selectivity. It was feasible for the determination of trace level phenolic compounds in environmental samples.
