Simultaneously speciation of mercury in water, human blood and food samples based on pyrrolic and pyridinic nitrogen doped porous graphene nanostructure.

A rapid and efficient method based on a novel nitrogen-doped porous graphene nanostructure (NDPG) was used for the speciation of mercury in water and human blood samples by the CV-AAS. The mixture of the NDPG, ionic liquid, and acetone was rapidly injected into the human blood, water, and food samples for mercury separation by the cloud point assisted dispersive ionic liquid-micro solid-phase extraction (CPA-DIL-μ-SPE) at pH 7.5. The UV-microwave accessory converted the organic mercury (R-Hg) to inorganic mercury, and total mercury (TM) was determined. Finally, the organic mercury was calculated by subtracting the inorganic and entire mercury contents. By optimizing, the linear range, LOD, and enrichment factor were obtained (0.01-6.80 µg/L; 0.005-3.60 µg/L), (2.6 ng/L; 1.2 ng/L) and (9.8; 20.2) for the mercury species in human blood and water/food samples, respectively (Mean of RSD < 1.9 %). The CRM samples obtained the validation of the procedure.
