Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic microsphere technology, and in particular to a method for preparing magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption and their application. Background Technology

[0002] Detecting methamphetamine, ketamine, heroin, and other drugs in wastewater has always been a challenge. This is because drugs are highly lipophilic and easily adsorbed by some substrates in water, so the concentration of drugs in wastewater is usually extremely low.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used extraction methods for drugs in wastewater are liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. Liquid-liquid extraction suffers from significant losses and low sensitivity, while solid-phase extraction requires filtering the wastewater beforehand, followed by sample loading, rinsing, and elution, making the process complex, time-consuming, and severely impacting work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption and their application. The magnetic microspheres can be fully mixed with wastewater by means of directional movement, and the adsorption, purification and concentration of drugs can be completed through anionic or cationic groups, which greatly simplifies the test operation steps and improves work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for preparing magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1) Preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles: Iron salts were dissolved in water and heated, alkali was slowly added dropwise and stirred. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was washed to obtain Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

[0007] S2) Surface modification with double bonds: Fe3O4 nanoparticles were dispersed in water and heated. Double bond compounds were added to the dispersion. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was washed to obtain Fe3O4 nanoparticles with -C=C- double bonds on the surface.

[0008] S3) Introducing active groups: Fe3O4 nanoparticles with -C=C- double bonds on the surface are dispersed in water, an emulsifier is added to the dispersion, the mixture is stirred evenly and heated, and an active group compound is added. The active group compound includes one or more of sodium p-styrene sulfonate, vinylpyrrolidone, and triethyl(4-vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride. The mixture is heated continuously, and after the reaction is completed, it is washed to obtain magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption.

[0009] As a further optimization, the iron salt comprises FeCl3·6H2O and FeCl2·4H2O, with a mass ratio of 1:(1.5-5).

[0010] As a further optimization, the alkali is ammonia water, and the ratio of the iron salt to the alkali is 1:(10-15)g / mL.

[0011] As a further optimization, the heating temperature in S1 is 50-70℃, preferably 60℃, and the heating time is 1-5h.

[0012] As a further optimization, the double bond compound includes one or more of oleic acid, undecenoic acid, and acrylic acid.

[0013] As a further optimization, the mass ratio of Fe3O4 nanoparticles to double bond compounds in S2 is 1:(2-5).

[0014] As a further optimization, the heating temperature in S2 is 80-100℃, preferably 80℃, and the heating time is 2-5h.

[0015] As a further optimization, the surfactant includes one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfonate, tetrabutylammonium bromide, Tween 20, and Span 80.

[0016] This invention also provides an application of magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption, comprising the following steps:

[0017] S41) Take 0.5-1L of sewage sample, add 1-2g of magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption prepared by any one of claims 1 to 8, mix well, place the sample in a magnetic field, and discard the sewage after all the magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption are attracted by the magnetic field.

[0018] S42) Transfer the magnetic microspheres for drug adsorption to a small centrifuge tube, wash away contaminants with 5%-30% methanol-water solution, and elute the drugs with solvent. Dry the eluent with nitrogen gas.

[0019] S43) Resolute the sample with phosphate buffer or organic solvent and perform colloidal gold test paper detection or mass spectrometry detection.

[0020] As a further optimization, the solvent described in S42 includes one or more of methanol, ethyl acetate, or cyclohexane.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: magnetic microspheres with surfaces modified by cationic or anionic groups undergo directional movement under the action of an external magnetic field. Utilizing this characteristic of magnetic microspheres, they are introduced into a large volume of wastewater sample and thoroughly mixed. Since sodium styrene sulfonate, vinylpyrrolidone, and triethyl(4-vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride have a strong affinity for drugs, the adsorption of drugs can be greatly enhanced. This allows for the adsorption, purification, and concentration of drugs, greatly simplifying the testing procedures and improving work efficiency. Detailed Implementation
