| Abstract: | In this study, cobalt magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized and then modified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethyl aminophenol ligand (5-Br-PADAP), through a chemical precipitation method. Characterization of the prepared MNP adsorbents was performed by Fourier transform infrared and transmission electron microscopy. Cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) surface modified with SDS and 5-Br-PADAP was evaluated as a nanoparticulate solid-phase extraction (SPE) absorbent for lead ions Pb(II) from water and standard samples, prior to its flame atomic absorption spectrometry determination. Effects of pH, amount of sorbent, desorption solvent, adsorption time, desorption time, and interfering ion concentration on extraction efficiency were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range of 1.0–500 ng mL?1of Pb(II) with R2 = 0.998. Detection limit was 1.6 ng mL?1 in the original solution (3Sb/m), and the relative standard deviation for replicate determination of 0.5 μg mL?1 Pb(II) was ±2.7%. |
