RESUMO
A novel SiO2@ MIPIL fluorescence sensor for the highly sensitive detection of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was prepared by using surface molecularly imprinting technology with SiO2 microspheres as carriers and 3,3'-(anthracene-9,10-diylbis(methylene))bis(1-vinyl-1H-imidazole-3-ium) chloride as a double recognition fluorescence functional monomer. The prepared molecularly imprinted polymer (SiO2@MIPIL) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Compared with the polymer obtained via bulk polymerization (MIPIL), the surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SiO2@MIPIL) has a better linear range (0.1-50 nM), lower detection limit (89 pM), and shorter detection time (approximately 1.5 min). The fluorescence sensor also shows good specificity, high sensitivity, good stability, and reusability. Satisfactory results were obtained when using this sensor in industrial wastewater and spiked environmental water.
