Ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) technology has received considerable attention for its greatest potential application. In this work, a novel magnetic nano ion-imprinted polymer (MIIP) for the selective and sensitive pre-concentration of silver (I) ions were used. It was obtained using Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 nanoparticles as a magnetic support of adsorbent, Ag(I)-2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine (DPT) complex as the template molecule and methacrylic acid (MAA), 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), as the functional monomer, the radical initiator and crosslinker, respectively. The synthesized polymer nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Silver ions were separate from the polymer and measured by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The maximum adsorption capacity of the novel imprinted adsorbent for Ag(I) was calculated to be 62.5 mg g−1. The developed method was applied to the preconcentration of the analyte in the water, radiology film and food samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
