    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

    [0032] The present application provides a preparation method of a surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A. The method is based on the fact that salvianolic acid A has a structure of a plurality of pyrocatechols, and boric acid and pyrocatechol compounds can quickly form covalent cyclic borate groups, thereby imprinting the template molecule salvianolic acid A in the polymer matrix by polymerization of 4-acryloyloxy phenylboronic acid, vinyl imidazole, methacryloylpropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and bismethylene acrylamide on the surface of Fe.sub.3O.sub.4@SiO.sub.2—C═C. The formation of borate is reversible, and the reaction is affected by the environmental pH value: it usually exists stably under neutral or alkaline conditions. Finally, the template molecules are eluted with an acidic solution to form the surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A.

    [0033] In the surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A prepared by the present application, the introduction of the phenylboronic acid functional group can quickly identify salvianolic acid A and combine with it, thus realizing faster adsorption kinetics on the basis of improving selectivity. Methacryloylpropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride has positive charge, and thus can be combined with ionized salvianolic acid A with negative charge through electrostatic interaction, thus improving the selectivity of the material. Vinyl imidazole is an organic weak base, which can effectively neutralize the acidity of a salvianolic acid A solution and maintain a suitable pH value for the stable combination of the boric acid group and ortho-phenolic hydroxyl group. Moreover, vinyl imidazole can be protonated under acidic conditions, and then combine with salvianolic acid A by electrostatic interaction. At the same time, the amino group on vinyl imidazole can also form hydrogen bond with salvianolic acid A. The strong hydrophilic property of vinyl imidazole can also improve the hydrophilicity of the whole adsorption material and further promote the rapid adsorption. Because the formation of borate is reversible, it is easy to decompose under acidic conditions. Therefore, the desorption of salvianolic acid A can be realized by adjusting the pH value, that is, salvianolic acid A can be efficiently and quickly eluted from the adsorbent by an acid solution.

    [0034] The prepared surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A is spherical particles with a core-shell structure of about 250 nm, with positive charge on the surface, strong hydrophilicity and magnetism, and can be recycled. Based on the synergistic effect of boric acid and alkali, it can realize rapid, large-capacity and high-selectivity separation and enrichment of salvianolic acid A.

    [0035] The proportion and conditions of this chemical reaction are obtained by a skilled person through long-term exploration and experience accumulation, but the skilled person in this field cannot acquire the method to prepare it from the existing reaction technology. Up to now, there is no report of surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterials of salvianolic acid A.

    [0036] The purpose and effect of the present application will become more apparent from the detailed description of the present application in the following examples and drawings.

    Example 1

    [0037] Fe.sub.3O.sub.4 nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, tetraethyl orthosilicate was added for coating silicon dioxide on the surface of the Fe.sub.3O.sub.4 nanoparticles, and a silane coupling agent KH570 was added for grafting double bonds, to prepare Fe.sub.3O.sub.4@SiO.sub.2—C═C. 0.1 g of the prepared Fe.sub.3O.sub.4@SiO.sub.2—C═C was ultrasonically dispersed in 15 mL acetone. Then 5 mL of a salvianolic acid A solution with a concentration of 5 mg/mL, 0.2 g of 4-acryloyloxy phenylboronic acid, 200 .Math.L of vinyl imidazole, 100 .Math.L of methacryloylpropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, 0.06 g of bismethylene acrylamide and 0.04 g of azoamidine initiator V50 were added into the suspension solution, argon was introduced for 30 min, and the mixture was continuously stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixed solution was heated to 65° C., protected from light, and argon gas was introduced for 10 min, so that the mixture reacted for 18 h under continuous stirring. The reactants were eluted with 120 mL of 0.1 M HCl for three times to remove template salvianolic acid A. Finally, the product was washed with ultrapure water and absolute ethanol, and dried in vacuum at room temperature. The product was spherical particles with a core-shell structure of about 250 nm, and its structure is shown in FIG. 1. The surface zeta potential of the surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A was measured, and the surface potential was 37.8 mV The material is hydrophilic, its volume expands nearly 10 times after absorbing water (FIG. 2), and its water contact angle is close to 0° (FIG. 3). The surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterial of salvianolic acid A has magnetism, as shown in FIG. 4.

    Example 2

    [0038] At the temperature of 25° C., several polyethylene centrifuge tubes were used, a certain amount of the adsorbent in Example 1 and a solution of salvianolic acid A of 0.5 mg/mL or 0.01 mg/mL (1 g/L adsorbent dosage) were added into the centrifuge tubes, and the mixture was shaken at 220 rpm with a constant temperature shaker; one centrifuge tube was taken out at intervals. The adsorption material was separated from the solution by magnet, and the concentration of salvianolic acid A before and after adsorption was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. As a result, the adsorption material could reach the adsorption equilibrium within 10 min, and the adsorption efficiency was above 90%. When the concentration of salvianolic acid A was 0.01 mg/mL, the adsorption material could reach the adsorption equilibrium in 10 s (FIG. 5). The adsorption behavior was fitted with the adsorption kinetic model (Table 1), and the results showed that it was in accordance with the second-order kinetic equation as shown below:

    [00001]tqt=1k2×qe2+tqe,

    k.sub.2 (g/mg/min) is a second-order kinetic constant, q.sub.e represents the equilibrium adsorption capacity, and q.sub.t represents the adsorption capacity at time t. Through straight line fitting, it can be seen that the first-order kinetic model of the adsorbent is completely non-linear and the correlation coefficient is poor, while the second-order kinetic model is highly linear and has a large correlation coefficient R (>0.99). Therefore, the second-order kinetic equation can better describe the adsorption process of salvianolic acid A by the adsorbent.

    [0039] At the temperature of 25° C., several polyethylene centrifuge tubes were used, and a certain amount of the adsorption material in Example 1 was added to the solution of salvianolic acid A (1 g/L adsorbent dosage) with different initial concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mg/mL). Then, the mixture was shaken to the adsorption equilibrium with a constant temperature shaker at 220 rpm, and then the concentrations of salvianolic acid A in the solution before and after adsorption were measured. The adsorption behavior was fitted by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models, and it was judged that the adsorption model of salvianolic acid A by the surface molecularly imprinted materials was a Langmuir model. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacity (q.sub.max) of the imprinted adsorbent can reach 1117.6 mg/g (FIG. 6 and Table 2).

    Example 4

    [0041] Salvianolic acid B, rosmarinic acid, tanshinol, caffeic acid and ferulic acid were selected as the competitive molecules of salvianolic acid A, and these six phenolic acids were divided into 0.5 mg/mL mixed standard solutions. A certain amount of the adsorbent in Example 1 was added to the 0.5 mg/mL mixed standard solution (1 g/L adsorbent dosage), and the mixture was shaken to the adsorption equilibrium with a constant temperature shaker at 220 rpm. The concentrations of six phenolic acids before and after adsorption were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The results show that the selective partition coefficient (K.sub.d) of the imprinted material to salvianolic acid A is obviously higher than other phenolic acid components, and the adsorption material has strong affinity and selectivity to salvianolic acid A (FIG. 7).
