It was used for the first time as a sorbent for the magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction (M-dSPμE) of copper and lead in water and vegetables. FAAS was used to determine the analyte concentrations after elution. The MMC was found to be have surface area of 145.9 m2 g-1 and average pore diameter of 15 nm. The analytical parameters affecting M-dSPμE of copper and lead were optimized. They were pH of sample, 6; eluent, 2 mol L-1 HCl (3 mL); and sample volume, 250 mL. The MMC reaches equilibrium very fast without vortexing for adsorption and only 5 s for elution. The LOD and PF of the M-dSPμE method for copper and lead were found to be 0.87 μg L-1 and 83 for Cu(II) and 2.8 μg L-1 and 167 for Pb(II), respectively. The precision of the M-dSPμE method was found to be ≤ 3.2%. The M-dSPμE method was verified by certificate reference materials (TMDA-53.3 Fortified Lake water and NIST SRM 1573a Tomato Leaves). It was successfully applied to the determination of copper and lead in lake water, wastewaters, sea water, radish, spinach, lettuce, and celery samples.PMID:37536105 | DOI:10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125002
