Matrix cleanup assisted extraction of phenolic pollutants from diverse wastewaters using a magnetic core shell adsorbent.

ABSTRACT: This study introduces a novel and environmentally relevant sample preparation strategy for the trace-level determination of hazardous phenolic pollutants in complex wastewater matrices. Unlike conventional extraction methods that merely tolerate matrix interferences, this approach eliminates them before analyte extraction, improving selectivity and reliability. A magnetic core-shell metal-organic framework was employed to selectively adsorb interfering substances from real wastewater samples collected from pharmaceutical, municipal, and petrochemical sources. This material was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and
