The oil and gas industry produces huge amounts of produced water (PW), a complex effluent. This product is one of the main constituents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which exhibit high toxicity. Therefore, this study aims at developing and validating a method for determining PAH (Benz(a)anthracene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Benzo(a)pyrene, and Dibenzo (a,h)anthracene) in PW by using magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. We synthesized three new adsorbents: FeCt (with ferric chloride and water rich in natural organic matter); FeCc (with ferric chloride, distilled water, and coconut husk), and FeSt (with ferric sulfate and water rich in natural organic matter). The x-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy confirmed obtaining the hybrid materials. The best extraction conditions were obtained by using ultrasonic cleaning as a mixing mechanism with time set to 2.5 minutes for adsorption and 2.5 minutes for desorption, using 10 mL of ethyl acetate as an extractor and 20 mg of hybrid FeSt; the values of PAH recovery varied from 84.3 to 92.3 %. The capacity of reusing the material was assessed and the results exhibited a great recovery with up to 4 cycles of adsorption/desorption. The methodology we propose was applied to two PW samples. The recovery values for samples PWW1 (produced water at well 1) enriched with 100μg L-1 were of 81 – 104%, without the presence of B(a)P standard. As for the PAH concentrations in the sample, they varied from 0.63 to 1.66 μg L-1 for PWW1 from 0.54 to 1.62 μg L-1 for PWW2 (produced water at well 2). The validation of the method was performed for the following parameters: linearity, which exhibits a correlation coefficient (r) above 0.9943 within the interval of 0.5 - 25 μg L-1 ; accuracy and precision, with recovery values between 98.2 – 108.9 %, and coefficient of variation 0.64 – 6.72 % for the concentration levels of 3.8 and 15 μg L-1 (n=3), respectively. LODs varied from 0.012 and 0.02 μg L-1 and LOQs, from 0.036 to 0.06 μg L-1.
