We describe a magnetic nanocomposite that consists of Fe3O4/carbon nanosphere/polypyrrole (Fe3O4/CNS/PPy). The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The nanocomposite was successfully applied to extract of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples. Compared to Fe3O4/PPy, the Fe3O4/CNS/PPy nanocomposite exhibits improved properties in terms of extraction. The amount of adsorbent, salt effect, extraction time, desorption time, type, and the volume of desorption solvent were optimized. Following the desorption of the extracted analytes, the PAHs (i.e., naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 2-bromonaphthalene, fluorene, and anthracene) were quantified by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. The PAHs can be determined in 0.05-100.00 ng mL(-1) concentration range, with limits of detection (at an S/N ratio of 3) ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 ng mL(-1). The repeatability of the method was investigated with relative standard deviations of lower than 9.9% (n = 5). Also, the recoveries from spiked real water samples were in the range of 88.9-99.0%. The results indicate that the novel material can be successfully applied for the extraction and analysis of PAHs from water samples.
