Abstract

The water, wastewater and air are the main sources of aniline in environment. Aniline has a toxic effect in the human body and environment and so, must be determined by novel techniques. In this study, the activated carbon with microwave heating methods (MHM-ACNPs) were used for extraction aniline from waters by dispersive ionic liquid solid phase extraction procedure (D-IL-SPE) and compared to the activated carbon (AC). For this purpose, the mixture of acetone, ionic liquid and 30 mg of MHM-ACNPs/AC added to 100 mL of water samples at pH=8. After sonication for 10 min, the benzene ring in aniline as electron acceptor was chemically adsorbed on carboxylic groups of MHM-ACNPs as electron donors (MHM-ACNPs-COO……C6H5-NH2) and then, the adsorbent was collected by IL phase in bottom of conical centrifuging tube. Finally, the aniline was released from MHM-ACNPs in remained solution by changing pH and the concentration of aniline determined by GC-FID.
