RESUMO
A new iron-magnetic nanomaterial functionalized with organophosphorus compound was used as solid-phase for arsenic speciation analysis in seafood samples by ICP-MS. The procedure was optimized using chemometric tools and the variables pH = 4.0, 15 min extraction time, and 20 mg of mass of material were obtained as the optimum point. The inorganic arsenic (iAs) extracted using nanoparticles presented concentrations between 20 and 100 µg kg-1 in the evaluated samples. The method was validated for accuracy using CRMs DOLT-5 and DORM-4. It was possible to reuse the same magnetic nanomaterial for 6 successive cycles, and we obtained a detection limit of 16.4 ng kg-1. The proposed method is suitable for the use of inorganic speciation of As, presenting good accuracy, precision, relatively low cost, and acquittance to green chemistry principles.
