Silica gel impregnated with deep eutectic solvent-based matrix solid-phase dispersion followed by high-performance liquid chromatography for extraction and detection of triazine herbicides in brown sugar

摘要

A novel method was developed to determine six triazine herbicides from brown sugar samples using matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) based on silica gel impregnated with deep eutectic solvent (DES) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC/PDA). Several factors involved in the MSPD procedure such as DES type, DES content in impregnated silica gel, adsorbent-to-sample mass ratio, type and volume of washing solvent, type and volume of eluent, and grinding time were screened using single-factor experiments and then optimized using Box-Behnken design to accomplish the highest recoveries. The above method demonstrated a good linear range (20-1000 mu g kg(-1)) with a determination coefficient exceeding 0.9962, low limits of determination (1.59-3.77 mu g kg(-1)), acceptable limits of quantifications, and acceptable spiking recoveries (95.0-101.7%) for six triazines under optimized conditions. The proposed MSPD-HPLC/PDA method is a convenient, effective, and sensitive method for rapidly isolating and quantifying six triazines from brown sugar.
