Host-guest interactions for extracting antibiotics with a γ-cyclodextrin poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) hybrid sorbent
2021
ABSTRACT A procedure for the solid-phase extraction of antibiotics (enoxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin) in water has been developed. The sorbent used is based on a poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) network, whose previously modified surface has been functionalized with γ-cyclodextrin through a click-chemistry reaction. The architecture of the material has been characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, showing good capability to be used as a filler for extraction cartridges. The optimization of the extraction methodology shows good intra-day and inter-day repeatability of the extraction procedure, with coefficients of variation between 2.5 and 5.1% and the possibility of reusing the material at least five times. The detection limits of the method have been established at the μg L-1 level, confirming the possibility of quantifying trace levels. To end, real groundwater samples have been analyzed and the results are comparable with those obtained with a reference method. The proposed material can be used for assessing the presence of antibiotics in aqueous environments through an extraction procedure taking advantage of the presence of γ-cyclodextrin on its structure.
