Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high molecular polymer preparation, and particularly relates to a divalent lanthanide metal labeled yellow-green fluorescent plastic microsphere and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new pollutant, micro-nano plastic has complex structure, various types and wide distribution, and at present, there is still a lack of in-depth research on various micro-nano plastics. The detection method of micro-nano plastic is insufficient, and some researchers propose to mark the plastic microsphere by metal, and to calculate the amount of micro-nano plastic by determining the metal content coated after the digestion of micro-nano plastic. In the existing research, the coated metal is mainly palladium and trivalent europium, and the plastic microsphere labeled with europium has the red fluorescence of trivalent europium, and the plastic microsphere labeled with palladium cannot be traced by fluorescence to its migration path. The commercially available plastic microsphere labeled with lanthanide metal mainly has red fluorescence, which is the same as the fluorescence of the spontaneous light of the biological body, such as chlorophyll, and is not conducive to observing the migration and conversion process in the biological body. Divalent europium also has fluorescence characteristics, and can be considered to be developed for labeling plastic microspheres, but the fluorescence complex of divalent europium is easily oxidized to trivalent europium in air, which causes the fluorescence characteristics to change, and the initiator with oxidation property is also added in the synthesis process of the plastic microsphere, which also causes the divalent europium to be oxidized to trivalent europium, thereby losing the fluorescence characteristics. At the same time, the metal binding stability of the plastic microsphere labeled with divalent europium is also a key problem to be solved, and the metal in the plastic microsphere is easy to leak if the preparation method is improper, which is not conducive to long-term use.

[0025] Example 4 To verify that the divalent europium is tightly coated by the core-shell and will not leak, the nanometer plastic microsphere suspension synthesized in Example 3 was dialyzed with a dialysis bag for one week to remove impurities therein. The dialyzed suspension was used as a subsequent experimental or commercial use solution. The use solution was dialyzed with a dialysis bag, and the leakage of europium element was detected by taking a sample once a week. The content of europium element in the sample was detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The detection results of the continuous sampling for 7 weeks showed that the leakage amount was about 0.01 μg per week, which was negligible compared with the coated amount, indicating that the plastic microspheres synthesized by the method had good stability, and the coated europium hardly leaked. At the same time, a certain amount of nanometer plastic microspheres prepared in Example 3 was taken, and the Eu content was detected after digestion with mixed acid. The detection results showed that the Eu accounted for 0.26% of the mass of the nanometer plastic microspheres in Example 3.

[0026] Example 5 The nanometer plastic microspheres synthesized in Example 3 are used as a model of pollutants for studying the stress of microplastic pollution on plant growth. Specifically, after the Arabidopsis thaliana is cultured for 21 days, a nanometer plastic suspension is added to the culture solution of the Arabidopsis thaliana, configured as a solution of 10 mg / L, 1 mg / L and 0.1 mg / L. The prepared solution is poured into the flowerpot in which the Arabidopsis thaliana is cultured, and the pouring is performed once every 3 days, for a treatment of one month, and a total of 10 times of pouring. The stems, leaves and root systems of the Arabidopsis thaliana subjected to the stress treatment are harvested, dried and weighed, and after digestion with mixed acid, the content of Eu is detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The mass of the nanometer plastic microspheres absorbed by the Arabidopsis thaliana is calculated in combination with the proportion of Eu in the mass of the nanometer plastic microspheres, and the absorption amounts of the Arabidopsis thaliana to the nanometer plastic suspensions with different concentrations are compared and analyzed, as shown in Figure 4 The content of the plastic microspheres can be calculated by the content of the coated Eu, which indicates that the plastic microspheres prepared by the method can be used for quantitative detection of micro-nano plastics in a complex environment. Further, the yellow-green fluorescent plastic microspheres prepared by the method can be observed to be enriched in the plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) in a fluorescence microscope, as shown in Figure 5 The yellow-green fluorescent plastic microspheres prepared by the method can be detected by fluorescence labeling.

[0027] In summary, the plastic microspheres prepared by the method have uniform and consistent particle sizes, high-brightness yellow-green fluorescence, high stability, and can be directly added to various environmental samples to realize fluorescence tracing and quantitative detection of microplastics.
