Abstract

By integration of benzene-constructed porous organic polymer (KBF) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), a MWCNT-KBF hybrid material was constructed through in situ knitting benzene with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of MWCNTs to form a network. MWCNT-KBF was then adopted as a novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coating. Coupled to gas chromatography-flame ionization detection, the MWCNT-KBF–assisted SPME method showed large enhancement factors (483–2066), low limits of detection (0.04–0.12 μg L−1), good linearity (0.13–50 μg L−1), and acceptable reproducibility (4.2–10.2%) for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The method recoveries of seven PAHs were in the range 80.1–116.3%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging from 3.5 to 11.9%. The SPME method was successfully applied to the determination of PAHs in river, pond, rain, and waste water, providing a good alternative for monitoring trace level of PAHs in environmental water.

Schematic representation of the rational integration of porous organic polymer (KBF) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to form a MWCNT-KBF hybrid material through in situ knitting benzene with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal at the presence of MWCNT
