Synthesis of hierarchical porous zirconium dioxide and its application in the detection of sulfonamides in animal-derived food

Abstract

In order to effectively remove grease for the detection of sulfonamides, a non-toxic and low-cost hierarchical porous zirconia material was synthesized using the dual template method. The lipid impurities in an animal-derived food matrix can be absorbed by hierarchical zirconia. A ZrO2 prepolymer was synthesized by mixing amphiphilic triblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (P123) with tannin extract as the double template and Zr(SO4)2 as the metal source. After aging, drying and calcination at high temperature, the prepolymer transforms into a hierarchical porous structure. The synthesized materials were characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and BET. The results show that the material has an abundant pore structure and hierarchical pore structure. The adsorption conditions were optimized. The hierarchical porous ZrO2 synthesized by this method is relatively uniform, and is characterized by large specific surface area as well as high lipid impurity adsorption capacity. Through the optimization experiment of adsorption conditions, we found that hierarchical porous ZrO2 can reach the maximum adsorption capacity in 60 min under weak acidic conditions. The samples are used for actual sample testing such as HPLC of sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamethazine (SM2), sulfamethoxydiazine (SMD), sulfamethoxazole (SIZ) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM), and the recovery experiment of sulfonamides in chicken was carried out. The recoveries were 80.9–97.6% and the detection limit was 3.8–17.6 μg L−1. This work provides a new strategy for oil removal using hierarchical porous materials.
