Abstract
This article was used potassium dichromate as the template molecule, silver nanoclusters as the nano matrix, acrylamide as the monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agent, and azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator to prepare a new silver nanocluster surface MIP (AgNCs@MIP) nanoprobe for chromate. Upon addition of Cr(VI), it selectively adsorbs on the surface of AgNCs@MIP nanoprobes. The dichromate ion absorption peak at 350 nm overlaps with the AgNCs@MIP RRS peak at 370 nm, resulting in strong RRS energy transfer (RRS-ET) and a decrease in the RRS intensity. The decreased RRS intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of dichromate ions in the range of 0.0025-0.015 µmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.8 nmol/L. Therefore, a simple, fast, sensitive and selective RRS method for the determination of trace Cr(VI) in mineral water has been established, with a relative standard deviation of 9.2-9.8 % and recovery of 95.20 %-103.60 %.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 295:122589.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is highly carcinogenic and mutagenic, which is seriously harmful to human health. Hence, it is important to create a probe that can detect Cr(VI) effectively. In this work, gold nanotetrapods (Au NTPs) were applied in colorimetric detection for the first time. Based on the oxidative etching principle of Cr(VI) on Au NTPs, a sensitive and multicolor response detection method for Cr(VI) was established. The oxidative etching of Au NTPs by Cr(VI) resulted in the blue shift of plasmon resonance absorption peak of Au NTPs with the change of morphology. As the etching progress processed, Au NTPs solution exhibited obvious color changes from gray-green to blue-violet and then to pink. This multicolor response design is very convenient for naked-eye detection. The limit of detection (LOD) of Cr(VI) is 3 nM for the naked eyes and 0.5 nM for UV-vis spectrum, both of which are lower than the toxicity level of Cr(VI) (0.2 μM) set by United States Environmental Protection Agency. This sensing method exhibits good linearity between the wavelength shift and Cr(VI) concentration in the range of 0.5 nM to 8 nM. The detection results of Cr(VI) in actual environmental samples demonstrate that the Au NTPs colorimetric probe (Au-N-Probe) is expected to be applied to the detection of Cr(VI) in water environmental samples such as lake water and industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Mercapto- and amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, Fe3O4@SiO2@MPTMS (SMNPs-MPTMS) and Fe3O4@SiO2@APTES (SMNPs-APTES), have been applied as magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) sorbents to directly extract arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) respectively, followed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. Various MSPE parameters were optimized including dose of magnetic adsorbent, pH of sample solution, loading and elution conditions of analytes, adsorption capacity and reusability of SMNPs-MPTMS and SMNPs-APTES for As(III) and As(V) respectively. Under the optimized MSPE conditions, this combined scheme possesses excellent selectivity and strong anti-interference ability without any oxidation or reduction prior to capture of these two species. It is found that with a 25-fold enrichment factor, the limits of detection of As(III) and As(V) were 23.5 and 10.5 ng L-1, respectively. To verify the reliability of the proposed protocol, a certified reference material of environmental water was analyzed, and the results for inorganic arsenic species were in close agreement with the certified values. The applicability of the combination strategy for speciation analysis of inorganic arsenic was evaluated in spiked tap, river, lake and rain water samples. Good recoveries of 89%-96% and 90%-102% were achieved for As(III) and As(V), respectively, with the relative standard deviation ranges of 3.2%-8.0% and 2.5%-7.6%. Through the characterization of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and the optimization of MSPE experiment, it is confirmed that the existence of mercapto and amino groups on SMNPs-MPTMS and SMNPs-APTES sorbents are responsible for the extraction of As(III) and As(V), respectively, via coordination and electrostatic interactions.

Quantitative extraction of chromium VI and III from tanned leather: a comparative study of pretreatment methods. JOURNAL OF LEATHER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2021.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, seven pretreatment methods for chromium speciation in tanned leather were evaluated: acidic mineralization, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extraction, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) extraction, alkaline extraction (NH4OH), ammonium nitrate extraction (NH4NO3), water extraction, and phosphate buffer extraction. Acidic mineralization permitted the decomposition of the organic matter and ensured the complete digestion of leathers, giving access to the total content of chromium in each sample using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). From all the extractant media tested, EDTA proved to be the most efficient, allowing the extraction of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) as a Cr(III)-EDTA complex, quantitatively. Method validation is presented for EDTA extraction and direct mineralization. For the EDTA extraction, method detection limit (MDL) and method quantification limit (MQL) for total Cr in leather were 3.4 ppb and 11.2 ppb (µg of total Cr per L of extraction solution), respectively. Due to the lack of leather certified reference materials (CRMs) for Cr(VI), accuracy was evaluated by spiking leather samples with a Cr(VI) solution. The spike recovery of EDTA microwave assisted extraction ranged from 91.0 to 108.6%. Interday precision was also evaluated and all variation coefficients were below 5%, for both mineralization and EDTA extraction. This article provides an efficient procedure to extract quantitatively chromium from leather, while maintaining the speciation, which can be further followed by ion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS).

Abstract
The study aims to clarify the current controversy related to conflicting reports on whether presence of Cr(VI) in rice is possible or not. For this purpose, a method was employed for the single run speciation analysis of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in rice samples using species-specific isotope dilution (SS-ID) and high performance liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled mass-spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) and selective single run species complexation/derivatisation. The quantification limits (LOQs) were 0.014 μg kg-1 for Cr(III) and 0.047 μg kg-1 for Cr(VI), while the detection limits (LODs) were 0.004 and 0.014 μg kg-1 for Cr(III) and Cr(VI), respectively. A total of 10 rice samples of different origin and colour (depending on the type of industrial processing) were analysed in this study. The content of Cr(VI) was below the limit of quantification in all of the rice samples analysed, while the Cr(III) levels ranged between 0.59 (whole grain rice) up to 104 µg kg-1 (brown rice). All samples were also analysed for their total Cr (Crtotal) content by ICP-MS solely and the results were in all cases comparable with the Cr(III) levels determined in the same samples. To assess the stability of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in rice, one sample was spiked with Cr(III) and Cr(VI) (individually) at different levels (5.0, 10, 15 and 20 μg kg-1), held for 2 h, and then analysed by SS-ID HPLC-ICP-MS. The results showed a complete reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), while Cr(III) remained stable at all spiking levels. These findings support the general statement from the European Food Safety Authority related to the complete absence of Cr(VI) in foods and confirms that Cr in rice is found solely as Cr(III) species.

Abstract
Leather industry plays an essential role in the world's economy; however, it also has a negative environmental impact due to the generation of significant quantities of wastes, some of which are classified as hazardous chemicals. Chrome tanning, the most popular tanning process, employs chromium salts, acids, and some other chemicals. Some dyes can be also a source of chromium. As a result, hexavalent chromium, a known carcinogenic and mutagenic, can be found in leather products and cause allergic dermatitis or trigger other diseases. For this reason, it is important to quantify the total amount of chromium in final leather goods, as well as the oxidation state in which this element is found. This paper aims to summarize chromium contamination due to the leather production processes, and to review the analytical methods that have been used to determine chromium's most abundant species: Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in leather and other matrices (foodstuffs, cosmetic products, environmental, and pharmaceutical samples). The international and European regulations are presented as well as the last academic developments to extract and quantify chromium species. The future outlook of pretreatment and quantification techniques are also discussed in this work, with a special focus on chromium interconversions.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium ion (Cr6+) is highly toxic to human health and environment. Herein, high-performance detection of Cr6+ is of great import. In this study, a rapid and sensitive multicolor colorimetric method for detection of Cr6+ in aqueous solution was established on the basis of Cr6+ etching of gold nano-double cone@silver nanorods (Au NDC@Ag NRs). Au NDC@Ag NRs was synthesized by a modified seed-mediated growth method. The catalytic etching induced by Cr6+ changed the morphology of Au NDC@Ag NRs, leading to the attenuation of surface plasma resonance (SPR) and the redshift of absorption spectra. Meanwhile, Au NDC@Ag NRs exhibits obvious color changes from orange to pink, to purple, and finally becomes colorless with the increasing concentrations of Cr6+. With such a design, naked-eye detection of Cr6+ was realized with high sensitivity. The proposed multicolor sensing method showed a good linearity between the redshift change of absorption peak (△λ) and the concentrations of Cr6+ in the range from 2.5 to 40 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 1.69 μM in aqueous solution. In addition, successful detection of Cr6+ in tap water and Yangtze River water, indicating the real applications of Au NDC@Ag NRs probe in monitoring Cr6+ in environment.

Abstract
A novel carboxyl-functionalized hybrid monolithic column was developed based on "thiol-ene" click reaction via "one-pot" by choosing mercaptosuccinic acid, γ-methyl methacrylate trimethoxysilane and tetramethoxysilane as reaction monomers. The design of the hybrid monolithic column was assisted by the comparison in computational simulation with existing carboxyl-functionalized materials. The characterization by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption measurement, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis showed that the carboxyl-functionalized material has the advantages of good permeability and high mechanical strength. Then, we used the prepared carboxyl-hybrid monolith column as solid phase microextraction adsorbent for separation of trace inorganic chromium species. Under pH 4.5, the hybrid monolith column can selectively enrich Cr(III) without adsorbing Cr(VI) and afterwards, Cr(III) can be eluted by 1.0 mol L-1 HCl. The chromium speciation separation method based on carboxyl-hybrid monolith column followed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry possessed the merits of facile preparation, low cost, simple and mild extraction condition, and sensitive detection, which has been successfully applied to the separation, enrichment and detection of inorganic chromium in environmental waters.

Selective determination of Cr(Ⅵ) and non-chromatographic speciation analysis of inorganic chromium by chemical vapor generation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Talanta 2020; 218:121128.

Abstract
A novel and sensitive method for the selective determination of Cr(VI) and non-chromatographic speciation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) was developed based on chemical vapor generation (CVG) in KBH4-acid system for sample introduction into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for detection. The CVG of Cr(VI), rather than Cr(III), was found to be remarkably enhanced in the presence of sodium diethylaminodithioformate (DDTC). After the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by KMnO4, the quantitation of Cr(III) could be obtained based on the difference between the concentration of total chromium and that of Cr(VI). Parameters affecting the CVG reaction and determination of Cr(VI) were evaluated in detail, including the concentrations of DDTC, hydrochloric acid and KBH4, the sample flow rate, as well as the length of reaction and transferring tubing. Under optimal conditions, the CVG efficiency and the limit of detection (LOD) of Cr(VI) were found to be 28% and 0.2 ng mL-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations for seven replicate measurements of 20 ng mL-1 of Cr(Ⅵ) was 1.8%. Furthermore, with excess DDTC (100 μg mL-1) added to the test solutions, possible interferences from Cu2+ (up to 400 ng mL-1) could be eliminated. The proposed method was thus successfully applied to the determination of Cr(VI) in three real water samples and one certified reference water sample, as well as two simulated water samples of Cr(VI) and Cr(III), all with satisfactory results. The possible reasons were discussed for the varied degrees of enhancement between Cr(III) and Cr(VI).

Abstract
An analytical method to measure solubilized orthophosphate ions (HPO42- and PO43- ) from the water-insoluble food additives calcium phosphate dibasic (DCP) and calcium phosphate tribasic (TCP) in processed foods was optimized by comparing ion chromatography (IC) coupled with DS6 conductivity detector (Cond.) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with Evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) methods. The ion-pairing HPLC method could analyze calcium and phosphate ions successively. However, this method exhibited low reproducibility after approximately 48 hours of measurements. The IC method was established as an effective method of measuring orthophosphate ions with high reproducibility using distilled water and KOH solution as the mobile phase with a Dionex column. Matrix-based limit of detections (LOD) and limit of quantifications (LOQ) for snacks and cereals were estimated in the range of 0.01-0.91 µg/mL and 0.21-2.74 µg/mL, respectively. In inter-day and intra-day tests, the calculated precision (%RSD) and accuracy (recovery %) ranged from 0.5% to 6.6% and 82% to 117%, respectively, in both food samples. The levels of DCP or TCP could be analyzed in various positive food samples, and the developed IC method demonstrated good applicability in the analysis of DCP and TCP in collected processed foods.

Abstract
Biochar is extensively used as an effective soil amendment for environmental remediation. In addition to its strong contaminant sorption capability, biochar also plays an important role in chemical transformation of contaminant due to its inherent redox-active moieties. However, the transformation efficiency of inorganic contaminants is generally very limited when the direct adsorption of contaminants on biochar is inefficient. The present study demonstrates the role of Fe ion as an electron shuttle to enhance Cr(VI) reduction by biochars. Batch experiments were conducted to examine the effects of Fe(III) levels, pyrolysis temperature of biochar, initial solution pH, and biochar dosage on the efficiency of Cr(VI) removal. Results showed a significant enhancement in Cr(VI) reduction with an increase in Fe(III) concentration and a decrease of initial pH. Biochar produced at higher pyrolysis temperatures (e.g., 700°C) favored Cr(VI) removal, especially in the presence of Fe(III), while a higher biochar dosage proved unfavorable likely due to the agglomeration or precipitation of biochar. Speciation analysis of Fe and Cr elements on the surface of biochar and in the solution further confirmed the role of Fe ion as an electron shuttle between biochar and Cr(VI). The present findings provide a potential strategy for the advanced treatment of Cr(VI) at low concentrations as well as an insight into the environmental fate of Cr(VI) and other micro-pollutants in soil or aqueous compartments containing Fe and natural or engineered carbonaceous materials.

Speciation analysis of chromium by carboxylic group functionalized mesoporous silica with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Talanta 2018; 195:173-180. [PMID: 30625529 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2018.11.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2018] [Revised: 11/07/2018] [Accepted: 11/13/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Carboxyl-group functionalized mesoporous silica (CFMS) prepared by one-pot co-condensation method was employed for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of chromium species for the first time. A new approach of SPE coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was thus established for the speciation of chromium in environmental water samples. The influences of pH, volume of sample, extraction time, amount of adsorbent, elution conditions, co-existing ions and adsorption capacity were investigated on adsorption or elution of chromium species. Cr(VI) was not retained on the CFMS material in the pH range of 1.0-9.0, while Cr(III) was quantitatively adsorbed at pH 5.0-9.0. The captured Cr(III) was enriched by using 1.5 mol L-1 HNO3 as elution solvent and detected by ICP-MS. Under the optimized SPE conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of the CFMS for Cr(III) was 57.67 mg g-1 and the enrichment factor was 25, with the detection limit (LOD) of 0.02 μg L-1. The proposed protocol has been successfully applied to chromium speciation in rain, lake and river water samples, which exhibited a prospect in field separation and enrichment of chromium species in environmental waters.
