A multi-site recognition molecularly imprinted solid-phase microextraction fiber for selective enrichment of three cross-class environmental endocrine disruptors

Abstract

Molecularly imprinted solid-phase microextraction fibers with multi-site recognition were prepared for the simultaneous enrichment of three cross-class environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) in environmental water. The surface morphology of the multi-site recognition molecularly imprinted fibers was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and surface area and pore size analyzer. Under optimal extraction conditions, the molecularly imprinted fibers showed higher extraction capacity to bisphenol F, diethyl phthalate, and methyl paraben than non-imprinted polymer fibers and commercial fibers. Compared with commercial solid-phase microextraction fibers, the multi-site recognition molecularly imprinted fibers showed superior extraction performance at different concentrations of analytes. The selectivity study confirmed that the multi-site recognition molecularly imprinted solid-phase microextraction fibers were highly selective not only for specific template molecules but also for bisphenols, parabens, and phthalates. Furthermore, the method achieved a limit of detection of 0.003–0.02 μg L−1 for the three cross-class EEDs in environmental water samples with recoveries ranging from 75.76% to 112.69% and relative standard deviations below 11.46%. Thus, the novel MIP fibers with multi-site recognition prepared in this work have provided a promising approach in the field of specific adsorption and a strategy for the simultaneous and sensitive monitoring of multiple cross-class trace EEDs.
