文摘
We have prepared core/shell structured carbon-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNPs) with a simple method by using inorganic iron salt and glucose solution as precursor substance. The synthetic procedure does not require the use of organic solvents. We have utilized X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman analysis to examine the surface properties of CMNPs prepared at different temperature. The specific surface areas, magnetization and contents of graphitized carbon on carbon shell of CMNPs increase with heat treatment temperature. The obtained CMNPs are used to adsorb or preconcentrate bisphenol A (BPA), 4-n-nonylphenol (4-NP), 4-tert-octylphenol (4-OP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dipropyl phthalate (DPP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), sulfonamide, tetracyclines, and quinolones antibiotics organic compounds from water samples. The adsorption of analytes is mainly based on 蟺鈥撓€ stacking interaction, hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds between analytes and graphitic carbon. As a result, the adsorption or extraction behaviors of CMNPs to analytes are controlled by the content of oxygen-containing species and graphitized carbon on carbon shell of CMNPs. CMNPs prepared at 200 掳C have ample oxygen-containing species (80%) on surface and favor the adsorption and extraction of quinolones antibiotics. CMNPs heated at 300鈥?00 掳C with the graphitization efficiency of carbon shell lower than 50% exhibit great preconcentration performance to BPA, 4-NP, 4-OP, DBP, DCHP, DOP, tetracyclines, and quinolones antibiotics. CMNPs prepared at 850 掳C are highly graphitized (80%) and have strong adsorption affinity to all model analytes; however, they can quantitatively extract only highly polar sulfonamide antibiotics and moderately polar DEP, DPP because of hard desorption of other model analytes. We suggest that the appropriate adsorbent to certain organic contaminants can be obtained with this technique just by tuning the heat temperature without any post-treatment.
