A new functional monomer N-(o-carboxyphenyl)maleamic acid (CPMA) was synthesized and chosen for the preparation of surface-grafted ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) specific for thorium(IV). Polymerizable double bond was introduced to silica gel surface by amidation reaction between -NH2 and maleic anhydride. In the ion-imprinting process, thorium(IV) was complexed with the carboxyl groups, then was imprinted in the polymers grafted to the silica gel surface. The imprinted Th(IV) was removed with 3molL(-1) HCL The obtained imprinted particles exhibited excellent selectivity and rapid kinetics process for Th(IV). The relatively selective factor (alpha(r)) values of Th(IV)/La(III), Th(IV)/Ce(III), Th(IV)/Nd(III), Th(IV)/U(VI), and Th(IV)/Zr(IV) were 85.7,88.9, 26.6,64.4, and 433.8, respectively, which were greater than 1. The precision (R.S.D.), the detection limit (30), and the quantification limit (10 sigma) of the method were 1.9%, 0.51 ng mL(-1) and 1.19 ng mL(-1), respectively. The prepared IIPs as solid-phase extractants were successfully applied for the preconcentration. of trace thorium in natural and certified samples prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with satisfactory results.
