Abstract:

In this study, for the first time, an efficient magnetic sorbent has been prepared using the extract of Tanacetum leaves and used in magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions from a high volume of water samples. For this purpose, first the environmentally friendly and economically affordable magnetic sorbent using the extract of Tanacetum leaves was synthesized. It was added into an aqueous sample and dispersed by vortexing. Then, the sorbent particles were collected from the aqueous solution by a magnetic field, and the adsorbed analytes were washed by methanol. To achieve low detection limits, they were preconcentrated by the following dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction. The enriched analytes were monitored by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The important parameters such as the sorbent weight, nature and volume of elution and extraction solvents, pH, vortex time, and ionic strength were studied. Under optimized conditions, the proposed method showed linear ranges of 0.20–40 and 0.20–30 µg L⁻¹ for Co(II) and Ni(II) ions, respectively. Limits of detection were obtained 0.07 and 0.09 µg L⁻¹ for Co(II) and Ni(II), respectively. The suggested procedure was also successfully used for the extraction of the selected heavy metal ions in various environmental water samples.
