Molecular-imprinted polymer (MIP) combined with dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) were developed for ultra-preconcentration and determination of mononitrotoluenes in wastewater samples using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. MIP was synthesized by copolymerization of methacrylic acid-ethylene glycole dimethacrylate-2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator that imprinted with 3-nitrotoluene as the template molecule. Effects of several factors, such as type and volume of eluent, adsorption, and desorption times of the analyte on the polymer, and breakthrough volume were investigated. Optimization of 3-nitrotoluene extraction from MIP was studied forward followed by DLLME. Preconcentration factor of MIP-DLLME method was about 2800 under the optimum conditions. The LOD of the proposed method was 0.02 mu g/L and a linear dynamic range in the range of 0.04-20 mu g/L was obtained. The performance of the present method was evaluated for extraction and determination of nitrotoluene compounds in wastewater samples in the range of microgram per liter and satisfactory results were achieved (RSD<13%).
