    Abstract:
    A novel Schiff base-chitosan-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (S-CS-MWCNTs) solid-phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently grafting a Schiff base-chitosan (S-CS) onto the surfaces of oxidized MWCNTs. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results showed that S-CS was successfully grafted onto the surfaces of MWCNTs. A method was developed for the determination of heavy metals, namely V(V), Cr(VI), Cu(II), As(V) and Pb(II) in biological and environmental samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry coupled with preconcentration with S-CS-MWCNTs. The parameters influencing preconcentration of target ions, such as the pH of the sample solution, the flow rate of sample loading, the eluent concentration, and eluent volume, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the enrichment factors of V(V), Cr(VI), Cu(II), As(V), and Pb(II) reached 111, 95, 60, 52, and 128, respectively, and the detection limits were as low as 1.3-3.8 ng L(-1). The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of trace-metal ions in herring, spinach, river water, and tap water with good recoveries ranging from 91.0% to 105.0%.
