N, N′-Methylene Bisacrylamide/Divinyl Benzene Based-Highly Cross-Linked Hybrid Monolithic Column: Production and its Applications for Powerful Capture of Four Chlorophenols

In this paper, the role of the halogen bond in capillary monolithic column microextraction was explored for the first time. Benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide (BTH) was synthesized as a functional monomer, N, N′-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) and divinyl benzene (DVB) were used as cross-linking agents, the hybrid monolithic column of poly (BTH-co-DVB-co-MBA) was prepared using methanol and polyethylene glycol as pore-forming agents and azodiisobutyronitrile as the initiator. Due to the existence of BTH, a large number of nitrogen atoms (Lewis base) were introduced into the monolithic column, which could form a halogen bond with chlorine-containing organic pollutants and enhance its adsorption performance. Based on the monolithic column, a sensitive and environment-friendly solid-phase microextraction technology was studied. The monolithic column was integrated with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to extract and detect four kinds of chlorophenol in real water samples. Under best conditions, the method showed excellent extraction ability and linearity, with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9958–0.9987, a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.04–0.23 μg L−1 (S/N = 3), and relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 3.09%. The recovery rate was kept between 87.30% and 123.00%, and the RSD was less than 3.83%, which indicated that the column had powerful capture performance, high precision, and strong anti-matrix interference ability in the real sample, and had potential application value in practical work.
