Abstract
A new self-assembled apparatus for the extraction of solid samples was designed and implemented to perform a recirculated pressurized hot water extraction (R-PHWE) directly coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To investigate the potential of this new extraction apparatus, 34 target pharmaceutical compounds were analyzed in loam, silt-loam, and silty-clay-loam soils. The target analytes were characterized by heterogeneous physicochemical properties (e.g., -1.60 ≤ log D ≤ 5.91 at pH = 7.2, i.e., at the mean pH values of the three soils). Design of experiments (DoE) was used to identify the best extraction conditions for the target analytes by studying temperature, pressure, and number of extraction cycles. The results of DoE optimization pointed out the significant influence of the number of cycles on recovery. The application of DoE set point to the three reference soils provided recoveries ≥60% for 21-25 out the 34 target analytes, depending on soil. Good recovery precision (<25%) and moderate suppressive matrix effect (≤40%) were found for most target analytes, regardless of the soil considered. The optimized R-PHWE procedure evidenced statistically higher recoveries for 16 out of 34 target analytes when compared to conventional off-line dynamic PHWE.

Innovative thermally assisted on-line solid phase extraction-reversed phase liquid chromatography applied to targeted nutrimetabolomics in human biofluids. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1269:341429. [PMID: 37290855 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the use of thermal desorption in on-line solid phase extraction coupled with reversed phase liquid chromatography (on-line SPE-LC) was for the first time proposed and demonstrated for the desorption of analytes strongly retained by multiple interaction polymeric sorbents. In detail, this analytical strategy was applied to the on-line SPE-LC targeted analysis of a model set of 34 human gut metabolites characterized by heterogeneous physicochemical properties (i.e., octanol-water partition coefficient in the range -0.3 - 3.4). The novel thermally assisted on-line SPE approach was investigated in comparison to conventional room temperature desorption strategies based on the use of (i) an optimized elution gradient or (ii) organic desorption followed by post-cartridge dilution. The thermally assisted desorption strategy has been shown to be better performing and suitable for the development of a reliable and sensitive method for the analysis of the model group of analytes in urine and serum. In more detail, under the optimized experimental conditions, the proposed method provided negligible matrix effects in both biofluids for almost all target analytes. Moreover, method quantification limits were in the ranges 0.026-7.2 μg L-1 and 0.033-23 μg L-1 for urine and serum, respectively, i.e., comparable to or lower than those reported in methods previously published.

Abstract
Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) represent a non-ionic surfactant widely used as adjuvants in pesticide formulation, which is considered to cause an endocrine-disrupting effect. In the current study, we established a detection method for the APEOs residue in tea based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the simultaneous analysis of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) and octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEOs) by UPLC-MS/MS. In the spiked concentrations from 0.024 to 125.38 μg/kg for 36 monomers of APEOs (nEO = 3-20), the recoveries of APEOs range from 70.3-110.7% with RSD ≤ 16.9%, except for OPEO20 (61.8%) and NPEO20 (62.9%). The LOQs of OPEOs and NPEOs are 0.024-6.27 and 0.16-5.01 μg/kg, respectively. OPEOs and NPEOs are detected in 50 marketed tea samples with a total concentration of 0.057-12.94 and 0.30-215.89 µg/kg, respectively. The detection rate and the range of the monomers of NPEOs are generally higher than those of OPEOs. The current study provides a theoretical basis for the rational use of APEOs as adjuvants in commercial pesticide production.

Abstract
Of the large number of emerging pollutants discharged from wastewaters into surface waters, surfactants are among those with the highest concentrations. However, few monitoring in river waters of these substances have already been performed and only on a few families, mostly anionic. This work aimed to develop a multi-family analytical strategy suitable for the quantification of low concentrations of surfactant in surface waters. Twelve families of surfactants, anionic, cationic and non-ionic were selected. Their quantification by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and their extraction by SPE were optimized by comparing different retention mechanisms. The best performances were obtained with a C18 grafted silica LC column and a hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB) polymeric SPE cartridge. The final analytical method was validated and applied for the quantification of surfactants in 36 river water samples. Method limits of quantification (LQ), intra and inter days precision and trueness were evaluated. With LQ between 15 and 485 ng/L, and trueness over 80%, this method was suitable for monitoring surfactants in surface water. Application on French river water samples revealed the presence of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants with median concentrations from 24 ng/L for octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEO), up to 4.6 μg/L regarding linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS).

Abstract
Solvent Front Position Extraction (SFPE) procedure has been recently introduced as a novel concept for multi-component sample preparation. According to the procedure, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is used to separate the compounds of interest from matrix components, and to focus them into a common zone from which the compounds are extracted and transferred to apparatus for instrumental analysis. In the paper, we investigate different adsorbent types of the chromatographic plates and various mobile phases, including pH of their buffers, in respect of optimization conditions of the SFPE procedure. The research was carried out using a test sample containing 9 compounds characterised by different chemical properties, hence the conclusions from the obtained results can be applied to other multi-component samples. Under the optimal conditions, all target compounds are separated from other compounds (matrix), and evenly distributed along a narrow strip, which is advantageous for their quantitation. The determination results are good, the percentage values of relative error and relative standard deviation do not exceed 6%.

Physicochemical properties and sorption capacities of sawdust-based biochars and commercial activated carbons towards ethoxylated alkylphenols and their phenolic metabolites in effluent wastewater from a textile district. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 708:135217.

Abstract
Three biochars were produced using sawdust from waste biomass, via a simple pyrolysis thermal conversion at 450, 650, and 850 °C (BC450, BC650, and BC850), without any activation process. These materials, together with vegetal and mineral commercial activated carbons (VAC and MAC), were characterized for their elemental composition, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, t-plot microporosity and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda mesoporosity. Moreover, iodine, phenol and methylene blue porosity indexes were measured. The materials were also evaluated for their pH of the point of zero charge, as well as near-surface chemical composition and surface functionality by means of X-ray photoelectron and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Ash content, water-extractable metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were also determined. BC650 showed a much higher surface area (319 m2 g-1) compared to BC450 (102 m2 g-1), as well as an increase in aromatization and the residual presence of functional polar groups. BC850 exhibited a loss of polar and aromatic groups, with the dominance of graphitic carbon and the highest value of surface area (419 m2 g-1). Biochars comply with the EN 12915-1/2009 limits for metal and PAH release in water treatment. Biochars and MAC were tested using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms for the sorption in real effluent wastewater of a mixture of 14 branched ethoxylated 4-t-octyl and 4-nonylphenols, as well as 4-t-octyl and 4-nonylphenol, the latter representing persistent, endocrine disrupting contaminants, widespread in the effluents from wastewater treatment plants and listed as priority/priority hazardous substances in the Directive 2013/39/EU. Biochars showed a lower sorption efficiency compared to MAC. The best performance was found for BC650 towards the alkylphenols (9-13 times less efficient than the MAC). Considering the lower market price of biochar compared to MAC (estimated as at least 16 times less expensive by a small market survey), the former can be considered more competitive than the latter.

Abstract
In this work the occurrence and fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalic acid esters (PAEs), mono and diethoxylate alkylphenols (AP1-2EOs) and alkylphenols (APs) have been investigated during a two-weeks period in a facility treating mixed textile-domestic wastewater (Prato, Italy). The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consists of primary sedimentation, activated sludge biological oxidation, secondary sedimentation, clariflocculation and ozonation. The sludge is treated within the facility by thickening, dewatering and final incineration, thus providing the almost quantitative removal of the adsorbed micropollutants. Naphthalene (50%), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (74%) and branched 4-nonylphenols (59%) were the individual main representative compounds of each class in the influent wastewater, which showed concentration ranges of 5.6-66, 85-290 and 21-133μg/L for PAHs, PAEs and APs+AP1-2EOs, respectively. The WWTP efficiently removed PAHs, PAEs and APs+AP1-2EOs, providing effluent concentrations of 0.075-0.16ng/L 0.38-9.9μg/L and 0.53-1.4μg/L. All targeted priority and priority-hazardous micropollutants showed effluent concentrations in line with the European environmental quality standards (EQS), even though for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and benzo(a)pyrene after correction for the dilution factor of the recipient. The WWTP performance was evaluated by mass balance, verifying its accuracy by monitoring Pb and Cd as conservative species. The biological treatment sections provided mass losses of 85.5%, 74.5% and 56.8% for APs+AP1-2EOs, PAEs and PAHs, highlighting efficient biotransformation performances of the activated sludge process. However, for the more volatile PAHs (e.g. naphthalene), a significant contribution of stripping cannot be excluded. A remarkable mass loss was also determined in the ozonation stage for PAEs (72.9%) and especially PAHs (97.0%), whereas a lower efficiency was observed for APs+AP1-2EOs (41.3%). The whole plant allowed for obtaining an almost quantitative removal (96.7-98.4%) for all targeted compounds.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, the efficiency of the nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOs)-degrading bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain Y2 was evaluated, which was immobilized by a novel system composed of polydopamine (PD)-coated Fe3O4 iron nanoparticles (IONPs). The PD-IONPs, with a distinct core-shell structure, relatively uniform size, and high saturation magnetization, were prepared for Y2 immobilization. The performance of Y2 was unaffected by this novel immobilization method, exhibiting 79.5% and 99.9% of NPEOs (500ppm) degradation efficiency at day 1 and 2, respectively. Furthermore, separation and recycling were more readily achieved for immobilized cells as compared to free cells. Immobilized cells retained over 70% of the original degradation activity after 6cycles of utilization. These results suggest that Y2-PD-IONPs can be potentially used for NPEOs-contaminated wastewater bioremediation. CAPSULE Immobilization of Sphingomonas sp. Y2 by functionalized PD-IONPs with easy separation, recycling utilization and high efficiency.
