Evaluation of adsorption performance and mechanisms of a highly effective 3D boron-doped graphene composite for amitriptyline pharmaceutical removal. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118363. [PMID: 37413724 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Three-dimensional heteroatom-doped graphene presents a state-of-the-art approach for effective remediation of pharmaceutical wastewater on account of its distinguished adsorption and physicochemical attributes. Amitriptyline is an emerging tricyclic antidepressant pollutant posing severe risks to living habitats through water supply and food chain. With ultra-large surface area and plentiful chemical functional groups, graphene oxide is a favorable adsorbent for decontaminating polluted water. Herein, a new boron-doped graphene oxide composite reinforced with carboxymethyl cellulose was successfully developed via solution-based synthesis. Characterization study revealed that the adsorbent was formed by graphene sheets intertwined into a porous network and engrafted with 13.37 at% of boron. The adsorbent has a zero charge at pH 6 and contained various chemical functional groups favoring the attachment of amitriptyline. It was also found that a mere 10 mg of adsorbent was able to achieve relatively high amitriptyline removal (89.31%) at 50 ppm solution concentration and 30 °C. The amitriptyline adsorption attained equilibrium within 60 min across solution concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 ppm. The kinetic and equilibrium of amitriptyline adsorption were well correlated to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively, portraying the highest Langmuir adsorption capacity of 737.4 mg/g. Notably, the predominant mechanism was chemisorption assisted by physisorption that contributed to the outstanding removal of amitriptyline. The saturated adsorbent was sufficiently regenerated using ethanol eluent. The results highlighted the impressive performance of the as-synthesized boron-doped adsorbent in treating amitriptyline-containing waste effluent.

Abstract
Increasing the adsorption sites and effective interactions between sorbents and the targets can improve the solid-phase extraction (SPE) efficiency. Herein, based on the advantages of MOFs and TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2 NTs), an MIL-101(Fe)@TiO2 NT composite was prepared and applied to extract non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from water samples coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Through characterization, it was established that MIL-101(Fe) was effectively composited on the surface and inside the TiO2 nanotubes, increasing effective adsorption sites. The obtained composite material well retains the structure and functional groups of the two original materials, and while retaining the original force with the target, it achieves a synergistic effect and produces more interactions with the target. Therefore, the extraction efficiency was greatly improved. The recovery efficiency reached 97.7-105.1% with an RSD of less than 6.71%, the detection limit was 0.1-0.2 μg L-1, and the linear range was 1-200 μg L-1 with a determination coefficient of 0.9972-0.9994. Owing to the stability of the two original materials, the composite material could be recycled and reused to extract NSAIDs up to 15 times without a loss of the recovery rate. Satisfactory results were obtained when it was used to extract NSAIDs from the Yellow River. These results indicate that the synthesized MIL-101(Fe)@TiO2 NT material is a promising sorbent to extract NSAIDs at trace concentrations with high efficiency and long lifetimes.

Abstract
For sorbents, good magnetic properties and rich interactions with targets are important ways to improve the efficiency of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). The magnetic MOF-101 derivative (MD) was obtained by heat-treating MOF-101 at different temperatures. After a series of characterizations, it was found that MD-350 had the best magnetic properties and retained more functional groups of the original MOF-101, and had better extraction efficiency as compared to MD obtained under other treatment temperatures for the MSPE of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in water samples, coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The remaining functional groups of MD-350 can produce more interactions with NSAIDs, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π conjugation, and coordination interactions; good magnetic properties facilitate the separation of the sorbent and the solution. These advantages indicate that the established extraction method demonstrated satisfactory extraction performance: an excellent recovery rate (96.73-100.61%) with a short extraction time (15 min), a wide linear range (4-400 μg L-1) with a determination coefficient of 0.9975-0.9993, a low LOD of 0.2-0.5 μg L-1 and up to 12 times service-life without the loss of the recovery rate. Satisfactory results were also obtained in extracting NSAIDs from Yellow River. All these results indicate that MD-350 prepared under mild conditions has potential as an MSPE sorbent to detect and remove NSAIDs from environmental waters with high efficiency and long service life.

Preparation of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene based solid-phase microextraction coating for sensitive determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental water samples. J Sep Sci 2021; 44:3398-3406. [PMID: 34265181 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
In this study, a new Ti3 C2 Tx -coated fiber was synthesized and utilized as coatings for solid-phase microextraction of seven polychlorinated biphenyls. The as-produced multilayered Ti3 C2 Tx MXene was characterized by X-ray diffractometer, thermos-gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. It is noteworthy that the Ti3 C2 Tx showed some attractive features including unique 2D layered structures, large surface area, good hydrophilicity, and rich active recognition sites, endowing it has a high affinity towards the target polychlorinated biphenyls. Subsequently, the affecting parameters on the extraction efficiency of polychlorinated biphenyls were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, a novel method for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls in water samples was proposed. The Ti3 C2 Tx -coated fiber-based solid-phase microextraction method showed good linearity (r2 > 0.9928), high enrichment factors (268-442), low limits of detection (0.06-0.15 ng/L), and satisfactory repeatability (RSDs < 7.5%) for the polychlorinated biphenyls. The excellent method recoveries were in the range of 90.0-98.4, 92.0-98.2, and 92.0-98.0% for river water, lake water, and tap water samples, respectively. These results suggested that the proposed Ti3 C2 Tx -coated fiber-based method represents a promising alternative for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls.
