Abstract
A branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite nanofibers has been synthesized via electrospinning for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of trace metal ions. The synthesized fibers have been analyzed for structural and morphological characteristics by FTIR, SEM, EDS, and XPS techniques. Measurements of the sessile drop water contact angle and zeta potential have been performed to assess surface properties. The synthesized fibers have been investigated for solid-phase extraction (SPE) and preconcentration of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) from various water sources, followed by their quantification using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Under optimum conditions, the fibrous sorbent demonstrates low detection limits of 0.020–0.028 μg L−1 and a broad linear range for the targeted metal ions. The analysis duration was rapid, taking 2.5 min for both adsorption and desorption. The PAN-PEI fibers can be reused a minimum of 35 times without diminishing extraction efficiency. The suggested analytical method's accuracy was validated through the analysis of recovered amount after spiking the real samples.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
