Abstract:
The author describes the preparation of a magnetic metal organic framework of type MOF-199 containing magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles carrying covalently immobilized 4-(thiazolylazo) resorcinol (Fe3O4@TAR). This material is shown to represent a viable sorbent for separation and preconcentration of Cd(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II) ions. Box-Behnken design was applied to optimize the parameters affecting preconcentration. Following elution with 0.6 mol L?1 EDTA, the ions were quantified by FAAS. The capacity of the sorbent ranged between 185 and 210 mg g?1. The limits of detection are 0.15, 0.40, and 0.8 ng mL?1 for Cd(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) ions, respectively. The relative standard deviations are <8.5 %. The method was successfully applied to the rapid extraction of trace amounts of these ions from sea food and agri food.
