Abstract:
With the concept of green analytical chemistry, an experiment on the determination of sulfonamide drugs in water using liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) is designed for undergraduate experimental teaching. With a small amount of organic solvents in liquid-liquid extraction and ethanol as the green organic mobile phase for chromatographic separation, the extraction and separation conditions are optimized, and a new method of liquid-liquid microextraction combined with HPLC has been developed for determining sulfonamide drugs (sulfaguanidine(SG), sulfamethoxazole(SD), sulfamethoxazole(SDM), sulfamethoxazole(SMZ) and sulfamethoxazole(PST)) and trimethoprim(TMP, a commonly used compatible drug for sulfonamide drugs). The results indicate that the linear measurement ranges are 10~
1000 μg/L for SG, SD, SDM and SMZ, and 100~
1000 μg/L for TMP and 50~
1000 μg/L for PST, respectively. The detection limits are in the ranges of 50~100 ng/L (
S/
N=3). The recovery rates of the lake water sample are between 93.6% and 105.2%. This experiment is based on the forefront of analytical chemistry and is moderately difficult. It is suitable as a researching experiment for senior undergraduate students majoring in chemistry, pharmacy and environment, which is beneficial for students to improve their innovation ability, low-carbon awareness and comprehensive quality.
