Abstract
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were exposed to hydrothermal treatment for obtaining graphene oxide nanoribbons (GONRs). The fabricated graphene oxide nanoribbons have been morphologically and compositionally characterized via FE-SEM, XRD, and FT-IR techniques. The as-synthesized GONRs have been used as sorbent phase for headspace solid-phase microextraction of phthalate esters (PEs) from aqueous solutions. In this regard, the GC–FID analysis route has been used for quantification of PEs. The new SPME fiber shows remarkable analytical figures of merit including broad dynamic linear ranges, low limits of detection, as well as good stability and reasonable relative standard deviations for evaluation of PEs. The linearity of the method for analysis of PEs including DnBP, DnPP, DEHP, DEHA, BBP, and DMP was between the range of 0.05–100, 0.05–100, 0.1–100, 0.1–100, 0.2–100, and 0.5–100 μg L−1, respectively. The limits of detection (based on S/N = 3) and correlation coefficients were found to be in the range of 0.02–0.2 μg L−1 and 0.9907–0.9952, correspondingly. The prepared GONR-coated SPME fiber shows larger extraction yield in comparison to pristine MWNTs and commercial PDMS SPME fibers. Furthermore, real sample analysis showed that there is no significant matrix effect for evaluation of PEs from environmental water samples and proposed method could be used for evaluation and determination of PEs from aqueous samples in a precise and accurate manner. The existence of functional groups, π–π interactions, as well as hydrogen bonding between adsorbent phase and PE analytes could be the reason for observing such a high extraction yield.
