First, eight cationic surfactants were immobilized onto two kinds of cation exchange membranes (P81 and I.C.E. 450 unsupported). The results indicate that the use of long-carbon-chain C18 surfactant with counter ion of OH- could achieve better surfactant immobilization performance. When the C18-OH feed amount was 150 μmol, 2000 μmol, and 5000 μmol, respectively, the resulted immobilization percentage on the P81 membrane was 50%, 100%, and 150%, respectively. Phenol, 4-nitrophenol, and 4-chloro-3-methylphenol were the analytes used for batch adsorption and the feed concentration was 1 ppm. For 50% surfactant immobilization, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol could be adsorbed fully while the others could not. For 100% immobilization, only phenol was partly adsorbed. For 150% immobilization, none of them were completely adsorbed onto the membrane. In batch desorption experiment, 100% methanol, 50% ethanol, 50% ethanol with 1 M NaCl, and 50% isopropanol alcohol with 1 M NaCl were used as desorbents. 50% isopropanol alcohol with 1 M NaCl was found to be the best desorbent and its desorption efficiency was 59% for phenol, 94% for 4-nitrophenol, and 83% for 4-chloro-3-methylphenol. For the flow solid-phase-extraction process, the results show that a 17-piece stack of 13 mm disks obtained 40~50 concentration fold for 4-nitrophenol, 20~30 concentration fold for 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, 5~10 concentration fold for phenol, from a feed mixture of 0.1 ppm for each component.
