Popis: Quantification of engineered nanomaterials in the environment has attracted researchers’ interest recently because of their increased release to the environment. In this study, a recyclable and easily accessible magnetized coffee residue (MCR) is proposed for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) from water samples. The MCR was synthesized using a simple one-step chemical co-precipitation method from coffee residue and was characterized by state-of-the-art techniques. Various parameters affecting the MSPE efficiency of ZnO-NPs were optimized and 8.5 pH, 75 mg adsorbent, 120 min extraction time, 10 mL sample volume, 4 mL of 0.001 M HCl as an eluting solvent, and 30 min elution time were identified as the optimum conditions. Under these conditions, the method showed excellent linearity (R2 = 0.995) and good sensitivity (detection limit, 0.12 mg L-1, and quantification limit, 0.4 mg L-1). Intra and inter-day percent standard deviations were 1.4 and 2.2%, respectively, for the analysis of 6 mg L-1 ZnO-NPs. The practical applicability of the method for the extraction of ZnO-NPs in environmental samples was evaluated, and recovery values in the range of 93.0–98.2% were obtained, confirming its successful performance. Generally, the technique is easy, economical, and eco-friendly that can be considered for the extraction of metal oxide nanoparticles.
