Preparation of biosorbent from avocado seeds for preconcentration and simultaneous extraction of trace parabens in environmental wastewater samples.

ABSTRACT: The identification of emerging contaminants, including parabens, in water resources and aquatic ecosystems has become an issue of environmental concern due to the associated human and ecological risks, emphasizing the urgent need for effective monitoring and remediation strategies. This study aimed to synthesize a low-cost magnetic activated carbon biosorbent from avocado seeds, achieving higher extraction efficiencies and paving the way for more sustainable water treatment methods. The Dispersive Magnetic Solid-Phase Microextraction (DMSPME) technique was used for the preconcentration and simultaneous extraction of parabens (methylParaben, ethylParaben, and butylParaben). Influential DMSPME parameters were optimized using a Fractional factorial design for screening and a central composite
