Pyrrole-Based Composites for Metal Extraction and Analysis

Detailed Technology Description: Project ID: D2018-19 Invention DescriptionThe researchers at the University of Toledo have developed a sorbent coating that allows for direct extraction of metal ions without need for derivatization. These composite-coated pencil leads may be used as extraction fibers for solid-phase microextraction of metal ions. Further sensitivity and selectivity can be accomplished with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. This invention can also be scaled for solid-phase extractions. SPE and SPME applications coupled with the sorbent coating can assist in quantitative extractions and trace analysis in complex matrices. Applications• Selective microextraction devices• Water purification systems Advantages• Tunable selectivity based on the chelating agent• Cost effective materials • No need for derivatization step • Environmentally friendly
