A rapid and effective method is developed for selective determination of five selected acidic drugs (salicylic acid, naproxen, diclofenac, ibuprofen and mefenamic acid) in water samples by using online solid phase extraction (Online-SPE) prior to liquid chromatography diode array detector (LC-DAD) analysis. In this study, Alginate incorporated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Alg-MWCNT) beads were prepared and utilized as solid phase extraction sorbent. Optimization of online SPE-LC operating parameters such as valve switching time, composition of acetonitrile and buffer pH was conducted using Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to evaluate the interactive effects of these three variables. Under the optimized conditions (valve switching time: 1.5 min, composition of acetonitrile: MSA, 60:40 and buffer pH: pH 2), the method showed good linearity (1–500 μg L−1) with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9971–0.9996 and low limits of detection ≤ 0.018 µg L–1. The method showed high relative recoveries in the range of 75–110% for river water and tap water samples, respectively with RSDs of ≤ 7.8 (n = 3). This method was successfully applied to the determination of acidic drugs in river and tap water samples. In addition, Alg-MWCNT sorbent offered high degree of selectivity and efficiency for online SPE-LC-DAD analysis.

AbstractIn this study, a selective sample preparation method coupling surface molecularly imprinting polymers (SMIPs) with solid-phase extraction (SPE) was developed for the determination of penicillin G from tap water and milk samples. SMIPs for penicillin G were synthesized by using silica gel as supporting matrix, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker, methanolacetonitrile (1:1,v/v) as the solvents and 2,2′-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. Characterization and adsorption experiments revealed that SMIPs exhibited large adsorption capacity, high recognition ability and high rate of mass transfer. Application of SMIPs in SPE followed by HPLC was done to selectively determine penicillin G from tap water and milk samples. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed method demonstrated high linearity with the concentration of penicillin G ranging from 0.12 to 200 μg mL
