Abstract: The application techniques based on the molecular imprinting for selective molecular recognition were developed, and we evaluated newly developed separation media concerning its fundamental retention properties and the possibilities as pretreatment media of environmental pollutants. Selective separation and/or concentration of environmental pollutants such as endocrine disrupters, halogenated aromatic compounds, and water-soluble natural toxins was achieved by newly proposed techniques, the fragment imprinting and the interval immobilization technique. Furthermore, the selective adsorption and photo degradation of natural toxin in environmental water was demonstrated by the hybrid material of titanium oxide nano particles modified with interval immobilized recognition site. © 2012 The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry
