Abstract

A novel magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) was developed for the adsorption of capsaicin, a key component of capsaicinoids widely used in food additives and topical pharmaceuticals. Excessive use of capsaicin can lead to respiratory, skin, and oral disorders, necessitating effective monitoring methods. This study aimed to synthesize MMIPs and magnetic molecularly non imprinted polymers (MNIPs) using 4-vinyl pyridine as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker, combined with an initiator in a 1:4:20 molar ratio. Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were incorporated to facilitate magnetic separation. Characterization via particle size analyzer (PSA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the successful synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, MNIPs, and MMIPs. PSA analysis for Fe3O4 nanoparticles showed an average size of 140.2 nm with a polydispersity index (PI) of 0.313, MMIPs showed an average particle size of 746.6 nm and a PI value of 0.397. FTIR spectra revealed characteristic absorption bands at 3429 cm−1 (O-H), 2958 cm−1 (C-H), 1732 cm−1 (C=O), 1155 cm−1 (C-O), and 580 cm−1(Fe-O), indicating successful Fe3O4 modification. SEM-EDS analysis showed non-spherical morphology due to bulk polymerization. TEM image results showed Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were successfully coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The developed MMIPs effectively have a robust synthesis method and thorough analysis, laying the groundwork for future applications.

Abstract

Balongan is a coastal area whose waters are vulnerable to contamination heavy metals due to anthropogenic activities, particularly oil refinery operations. This study aimed to (1) characterize the physicochemical properties and quantify heavy metal concentrations in sediments from Balongan; (2) identify the contamination level, sources, spatial distribution, and ecological risk; and (3) analyze inter-parameter relationships, site similarities, and dominant factors controlling contamination pattern variability using a chemometric approach. Sampling was conducted in May 2025, and heavy metal analysis was performed using F-AAS. The results showed that the concentrations of Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cr remained within safe limits, whereas Cd and Ni exceeded the threshold values. Cd was predominantly attributed to anthropogenic sources (CF>6), whereas Ni was mainly attributed to natural processes (CF<1). Although still below threshold values, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Ni concentrations were higher at sites closer to the oil refinery, suggesting influences from oil-related activities. Elevated Cd and Ni concentrations were the primary contributors to sediment toxicity, with PERI values ranging from moderate to severe. The clay fraction and organic matter showed positive correlations with heavy metals. Thus, the dominant factors controlling the variability of contamination patterns are the similarity of pollution sources and sediment physicochemical properties.
