In this study, a polythiophene/chitosan polymer and electrospinning polymer nanofibers as modifier compounds were used, and magnetic nanocomposites as a novel adsorbent were proposed, for the preconcentration of some triazines, including atrazine, ametryn, and terbutryn, in aqueous samples before GC. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic polymer nanofibers, and polythiophene magnetic nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The separation of the target analytes from the aqueous solution containing the triazines and different magnetic nanocomposites were simply achieved by applying an external magnetic field.

Addition of IL, decyl-3-methylimidazolium mono bromate, increased the conductivity of the PA solution facilitating the electrospining process. The scanning electron microscopy images of decyl-3-methylimidazolium mono bromated/polyamide nanofibers showed the decreased diameter of the nanofibers in the range of 35-160nm compared to the PA nanofiber.

Next, a simple production method was optimized for the preparation of the copper nanoferrites (CuFe2O4), which are stable in water, magnetically active, and have a high specific area used as sorbent material for organic dye extraction in water solution. CuFe2O4 nanopowders were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

The synthesized nanoparticles, chitosan and polythiophene magnetic nanocomposite, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, TGA, and EDAX. The separation of the target analyte from the aqueous solution containing the fluoxetine and polythiophene/chitosan magnetic nanocomposite was simply achieved by applying external magnetic field.
