Ion/molecule imprinted polymers with double binding sites via twice imprinting strategy for selective and simultaneous removal of λ-cyhalothrin and Cu(II)

Herein we reported a facile method to prepare porous ion/molecule imprinted polymers (I-MIPs) via twice imprinting strategy for the simultaneous uptake of copper ions (Cu(II)) and λ-cyhalothrin (LC). Firstly, N -(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropytrimethoxysilane (DAMO) was grafted on silica particles surface to synthesis Cu(II)-imprinted polymers to introduce iron imprinted sites. They were then utilized as stabilizers to prepare a stable W/O Pickering HIPEs template (LC as the imprinting molecule), which was then polymerized with dual imprinting sites including Cu(II) and LC. The adsorption equilibrium, kinetic results and selective recognition experiments were exhibited their prospected dual selectivity and simultaneous removal of LC and Cu(II).
