A chemiluminescence array sensor based on graphene-magnetite-molecularly imprinted polymers for determination of benzenediol isomers

A chemiluminescence (CL) array sensor for determination of benzenediol isomers simultaneously using the system of luminol-NaOH-H2O2 based on a graphene-magnetite-molecularly imprinted polymer (GM-MIP) is described. Use of graphene in the GM-MIP thus prepared is helpful to improve the adsorption capacity, while use of magnetite nanoparticles can facilitate the isolation of GM-MIP at end of their synthesis, and rendering easier the use of the polymers in the array sensor. The adsorption performance and properties were characterized. The GM-MIP was used to increase the selectivity in CL analysis. In addition, the sensor was reusable and of good selectivity and adsorption capacity. The array sensor was finally used for the determination of hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol in waste water samples simultaneously. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
