A simple and fast method based on magnetic separation for extraction of pyrethroid pesticides including beta-cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin and cyphenothrin from environmental water samples has been established. Magnetic titanium dioxide was used as sorbent, which was synthesized by coating TiO2 on Fe3O4 in liquid-state co-precipitation method. The sorbent has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, and the magnetic properties were investigated with physical property measurement system. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were evaluated to achieve optimal condition and decrease ambiguous interactions. The analytes desorbed from the sorbent were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Under the optimal condition, the linearity of the method is in the range of 25-2,500 ng L-1. The detection limits and quantification limits of pyrethroid pesticides are in the range of 2.8-6.1 ng L-1 and 9.3-20.3 ng L-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day tests ranging from 2.5 to 7.2 % and from 3.6 to 9.1 % were obtained. In all three spiked levels (25, 250 and 2,500 ng L-1), the recoveries of pyrethroid pesticides were in the range of 84.5-94.1 %. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine pyrethroids in three water samples. Cyphenothrin was found in one river water near farmlands, and its concentration was 52 ng L-1.
