Nitrogen-rich covalent organic polymers for efficient solid phase extraction of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from water samples by Yuqi Cheng, Jia Li, Xiaochen Xiu, Xinghua Teng, Wen Zhang, Lei Ji, Leilei Wang

“…Then, utilizing nitrogen-rich covalent organic polymer as adsorbent for solid phase extraction cartridges, the pretreatment method was combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection to quantify five representative NSAIDs (ketoprofen, carprofen, flurbiprofen, diclofenac and mefenamic acid) in environmental water samples. Under the optimal extraction conditions (adsorbent amount: 40 mg; NaCl concentration: 0%; pH 6; extraction time: 20min; eluent solvent: 4 mL of formic acid/acetonitrile (5%, v/v)), the proposed method provided low detection limits (0.06–0.2 μg L-1), wide linear ranges (0.2–100 μg L-1) with correlation coefficients (0.9991–0.9997) and acceptable precision (RSDs, 6.6–8.5% for intra-day, 7.2–9.5% for inter-day). …”
