In this work, the suitability of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with reduced-graphene oxide as sorbent was evaluated for the extraction of a group of fourteen phthalic acid esters (i.e. benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), bis-2-n-butoxyethyl phthalate (DBEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), bis-2-ethoxyethyl phthalate (DEEP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), bis-isopentyl phthalate (DIPP), bis-(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate (DMEP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), bis-n-pentyl phthalate (DNPP), dipropyl phthalate (DPP)) from environmental samples. Extraction was carried out using magnetic-micro dispersive solid-phase extraction while separation, identification and quantification of the target analytes were achieved by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. The methodology was validated for three different types of water samples using dibutyl phthalate-3,4,5,6-d(4) as internal standard for all of them. Recovery values ranged from 70 to 120% for the three matrices with relative standard deviation values lower than 20%. Limits of quantification of the method achieved were in the range 6-178 ng/L for all samples and analytes. The methodology was applied for the evaluation of real samples finding the presence of DMP, DPP, BBP, DIBP and DBP in some of the analysed matrices. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
