| In this study, for the first time, MOF-70 was applied as an adsorbent to develop an efficient and economical
sample preparation method called dispersive micro solid phase extraction followed by dispersive liquid-liquid
microextraction for the extraction and preconcentration of the migrated di-iso-butyl phthalate, di-n-butyl
phthalate, di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate, and di-iso-octyl phthalate from the plastic containers into mineral water,
injection serum, sterile distilled water, and carbonated soft drink. The adsorbent was synthesized and authenticated
by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy, and
energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Initially, the target compounds adsorbed on the MOF particles by vortexing
from a solution having dissolved Na2SO4. Then the mixture was centrifuged and the adsorbent particles were
separated from the aqueous medium. 2-Propanol was utilized to elute the analytes from the adsorbent. Then, the
eluate was mixed with carbon tetrachloride at μL-level and hastily injected into an aqueous solution of Na2SO4.
The obtained cloudy solution was centrifuged and an adequate of the sedimented phase was injected into the gas
chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Satisfactory extraction recoveries (40 68 %), high
enrichment factors (200 340), low limits of detection (0.88 1.04 μg L 1) and quantification (2.90 3.43 μg
L 1), and wide linear ranges with the coefficients of determination ≥0.994 were obtained from the performed
method. So little consumption of the MOF, elution solvent, and extractant is another advantage of the present
research. Finally, the method is applicable for detection and determination of the studied plasticizers migrated
into different drinks and liquids stored in plastic bottles to perform quality control analysis of the products. |
