Abstract

A nanoporous carbon derived from an aluminum-based metal-organic framework was deposited on stainless steel wires in a sol–gel matrix. The resulting fibers were applied to the solid-phase microextraction of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene and anthracene from water and soil samples. The fiber was then directly inserted into the GC injector and the PAHs were quantified by GC-MS. The effects of salt addition, extraction temperature, extraction time, sample volume and desorption conditions on the extraction efficiency were optimized. A linear response to the analytes was observed in the 0.1 to 12 μg∙L−1 range for water samples, and in the 0.6 to 30 μg∙kg−1 for soil samples, with the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9934 to 0.9985. The limits of detection ranged from 5.0 to 20 ng∙L−1 for water samples, and from 30 to 90 ng∙kg−1 for soil samples. The recoveries of spiked samples were between 72.4 and 108.0 %, and the precision, expressed as the relative standard deviations, is <12.8 %.

A MOF derived nanoporous carbon coated fiber for use in solid-phase microextraction was prepared via sol–gel technology. The coated fiber has a porous, rough and wrinkled structure, and shows a high thermal stability, good extraction repeatability and long lifetime. The established HS-SPME-GC-MS method is suitable for the determination of the PAHs from water and soil samples.
