Abstract

The present study discovered the synthesis of a novel and efficient magnetic nanofiber fabricated via electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and magnetic zeolite (PAN–MZeo). The synthesized nanofiber was applied as magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbent, for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water samples prior to gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Response surface methodology based on the central composite design was employed for the optimization of the various parameters including sorbent amount, desorption solvent volume, adsorption and desorption time on the extraction efficiency. Excellent linearity was achieved at optimized conditions, with coefficients of determination (R2) between 0.9948 and 0.9977. The limit of detections for PAHs was in the range of 0.14–0.21 ng mL−1. The repeatability and reproducibility precision (RSD%) were less than 10%. The real sample analysis showed satisfactory extraction recovery (92–113%) for the five selected PAHs in agricultural, well and mineral water samples. Therefore, the newly fabricated PAN–MZeo–MSPE is an accurate, rapid, and reliable sample-pretreatment method based on comparisons from previous studies.

    The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistakes. They are listed below: 1. In the title the words “Waste Water” should be replaced by “Water Samples”. The title should read as “Electrospun Magnetic Zeolite/Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers for Extraction of PAHs from Water Samples: Optimized with Central Composite Design”. 2. The order of author names should be: Marjan Asadi, Afsaneh Mollahosseini, Syed Shahabuddin, Jesbains Kaur, R. Saidur. 3. The affiliation of the authors Jesbains Kaur and R. Saidur should be Research Centre for Nanomaterials and Energy Technology (RCNMET), School of Science and Technology, Sunway University, Subang Jaya, Malaysia. 4. Afsaneh Mollahosseini should have been listed as a corresponding author. 5. In the seventh line of abstract the range 0.14–0.21 ng mL<Superscript>−1</Superscript> should read as 0.01–0.2 ng mL<Superscript>−1</Superscript>. 6. In the third page, the end of third line, under the paragraph “Extraction Procedure” should read as 15 mL instead of 50 mL. 7. The original Table 4 should be replaced by the following table: the correct Table 4 is given here. 8. In Table 5 all the entries for the rows starting “MSPE-HPLC-VWD”, “MSPE/HPLC/UV” and “MSPE/HPLC/UV” should be deleted along with the references. 9. In Table 6, the units ng mL<Superscript>−1</Superscript> in the column headings should be replaced by µg mL<Superscript>−1</Superscript>. 10. In the seventh page, line 6, the values 0.5–100 should read as 1–2000. 11. In the seventh page, line 9, the values 0.14–0.21 should read as 0.009–0.2. 12. In the seventh page, line 9, the values 0.47–0.7 should read as 0.03–0.66.
