Abstract
In this research, electrospun nanofibers based on copper-based metal organic framework (MOF)/polyurethane (PU) were prepared in order to achieve an applicable and superior extractive phase. The incorporation of MOF, in the synthesized nanocomposite contributed to the enhanced sorption efficiency. The prepared sorbent was implemented for the thin film microextraction (TFME) of target compounds with subsequent quantification using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). To obtain the maximum efficiency of the synthesized sorbent, the influential parameters on extraction and desorption steps, including the MOF percentage in nanocomposite, desorption solvent type and its volume, desorption time, solution ionic strength and extraction time were optimized. After method development, the linear dynamic range (0.02-700 μg L-1), limits of detection (LODs) (0.005-0.1 μg L-1) and limits of quantification (LOQs))0.02-0.33 μg L-1(were calculated. The relative standard deviations values for intra-day and inter-day analysis were found to be in the range of 4.3-5.3 % and 6.2-8.1 %, respectively. The developed method was validated for the TFME of model organochlorine (OC) pesticide residues in fish, soil and water samples. the recovery values for the spiked samples at two concentration levels of 5 and 100 µg l-1 were found in the range of 72-110 %.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1316:342874. [PMID: 38969415 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid development of micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE) procedures with new sorption materials, in particular, based on using natural materials, is currently reported. The production of these sorbents and the entire extraction procedure should support the implementation of Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) principles. Promising materials are sorbents based on paper, which can be relatively easily modified, among others: by covering it with a polymer membrane. In this work, the practical application of paper-supported polystyrene used in the analysis of urine samples containing selected date-rape drugs (DRD) substances, and evaluation of the entire procedure using GAC metrics is presented. RESULTS The paper-supported polystyrene membranes were successfully fabricated and characterized. The successful polystyrene coating on the paper was confirmed through ATR-FTIR measurements, ensuring even coverage. The μ-SPE procedure using this material facilitated extraction with a throughput of approximately 120 samples per hour in just a few steps. Throughout the research, a mixture of 100 mM acetic acid:methanol:acetonitrile (70:15:15, v/v/v) was selected as an optimal background electrolyte for capillary electrophoresis - mass spectrometry analysis. Validation results of this method demonstrated its suitability, exhibiting good linearity (R2 > 0.95), low limits of detection (3.1-15 ng mL-1), acceptable precision (<15 %), and recovery for all tested analytes. Furthermore, the greenness evaluation conducted with six different metrics: AGREEprep, AGREE, ComplexGAPI, SPMS, hexagonal metric, and WAC indicated the overall eco-friendliness and sustainability of the method, with minor concerns regarding energy consumption. SIGNIFICANCE The use of cellulose paper with polystyrene membranes for μ-SPE provides a versatile and eco-friendly extraction method for detecting DRDs in urine samples. The presented work is an example of the use of GAC metrics in the evaluation of the analytical procedure. The optimized PT-μ-SPE/CE-MS method allows for minimized reagent usage and waste production. Moreover, the method proves to be sustainable and efficient for forensic toxicology analysis.

Abstract
Amazon aquatic systems have been affected by organic pollution from urbanized regions. This study was conducted to determine the levels, sources, and distribution patterns of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 6 steroid markers in surficial sediments from an important urbanized Amazon estuarine system (Belém, PA, Northern Brazil). Total PAH concentration (∑PAH) ranged from 878.2 to 9905.7 ng g-1, 3295.2 ng g-1 on average, suggesting a highly contaminated environment. PAH molecular ratios and statistical analysis indicated that PAH originated from a mixture of local sources emissions, mainly related to the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. Coprostanol levels (maximum concentration = 292.52 ng g-1) could be compared to the mid-range reported in the literature. Studied stations, except for one, presented sterol ratio data indicating organic matter related to untreated sewage. Sterols indicative of sewage contamination showed a correlation with pyrogenic PAH amounts which are transported by the same channels where sewage is discharged.

Abstract
In this work, different polybutylene succinate/modified cellulose bio-nanocomposites were synthesized by solving the casting method and then used as a new sorbent for needle trap microextraction of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the water samples in headspace mode. The surface of cellulose nanocrystalline was modified using aminosilane groups to improve the dispersion of nanoparticles in the polybutylene succinate matrix. The characterization of synthesized nanocomposites, were performed using TGA, SEM, BET analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. Adding modified nanocrystalline cellulose to a polybutylene succinate matrix increased the surface area, and thermal and mechanical stabilities. The significant parameters of the sorbent extraction process, including the amount of modified cellulose nanoparticles, the extraction time, and temperatures and salt content, were studied and optimized. Under the optimized extraction conditions (extraction time of 25 min, and extraction temperature of 50 °C), an analytical method for selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with low detection limits (0.75-1 ng L-1) and the quantification limit (3-5 ng L-1), good repeatability (3-7% at 20 ng L-1), and reproducibility (9%-14%, n = 3) was developed. The linearity of the method was obtained in the range of 5-1000 ng L-1 with R2 > 0.9996. The enrichment factor was obtained for the spiked real aqueous samples (at 50 ng L-1) in the range of 276-311. Also, the performance of the developed method was studied via the extraction of selected analytes in real water samples, and the relative recovery values were found to be in the range of 98-103%.

Abstract
This article deepens the potential of pre-cleaned bare wooden toothpicks (pb-WTs) for extracting drugs (antidepressants and acetaminophen) from oral fluid samples. The leaching of the intrinsic compounds from the wood matrix is identified as the main challenge for the final determination of the targets, even when a very selective instrumental technique, such as mass spectrometry, is employed. The pre-cleaning of the WTs is proposed for improving the analytical performance. The number of cleaning cycles depends on the injection mode (direct infusion or chromatography) into the mass spectrometer. The different variables affecting the extraction of selected antidepressant drugs were studied in detail, and the optimum procedure was validated using the two mentioned injection modes. The limits of detection were in the ranges 0.1–0.5 ng/mL and 0.1–0.3 ng/mL for direct infusion and liquid chromatography, respectively. The intra-day precision (expressed as relative standard deviation) was better than 12.1% and 8.6%, for direct infusion and liquid chromatography, respectively. Single-blind samples were used to study the applicability of the method. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, the potential of pb-WTs for in vivo sampling was outlined.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the main component of petroleum, are a concern due to their environmental persistence, long-range transport, and potential toxic effects on animal, human health, and the environment. PAHs are considered persistent compounds and can be bioaccumulated in sediments and aquatic biota. Determining PAHs in animals and environmental samples consists of three steps: extraction, clean-up or purification, and analytical determination. The matrix complexity and the diversity of environmental contaminants, such as PAHs resulted in the development of numerous analytical techniques and protocols for the extraction of these components and analysis in several samples. This systematic review article seeks to relate the extraction and preparation methods of complex samples from aquatic animals and the two main detection techniques of PAHs. For the elaboration of the research, 67 articles published between 2011 and 2021 were sought, which specifically contemplated the isolation of aquatic extracts and detection and quantification techniques of PAHs.

Abstract
The nature and fabrication of fiber coatings with good adsorption capacity and selectivity play a decisive role in solid-phase microextraction (SPME). In this work, a novel SPME fiber was fabricated through hydrothermal in situ growth of octahedral TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) on a superelastic nickel/titanium alloy (NiTi) wire substrate in acid solution. The resulting fiber coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Acid types, acid concentration as well as hydrothermal temperature and time were found to be effective route to manipulate the morphologies and composition of TiO2-based nanoflakes grown on the NiTi fiber substrates. At the concentration of 0.4 mol L−1 HCl as well as hydrothermal temperature of 150 °C and hydrothermal time of 12 h, TiO2NPs were in situ grown on the NiTi wire substrates. The obtained NiTi wire with the TiO2NPs coating (NiTi@TiO2NPs fiber) was employed to investigate the adsorption of some representative aromatic analytes in water samples coupling with high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC/UV). The results clearly demonstrate that the fiber exhibits good extraction selectivity for ultraviolet filters (UVFs). In view of good extraction selectivity for the selected UVFs, the key experimental parameters were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curves were linear in the ranges of 0.05–100 μg L−1 with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.998. Limits of detection (LODs) were 0.007 to 0.064 μg L−1. Furthermore, the intra-day and inter-day repeatability of the proposed method with the single fiber varied from 4.3% to 6.1% and from 4.5% to 6.8%, respectively. The fiber-to-fiber reproducibility ranged from 5.8% to 8.2%. The developed SPME-HPLC/UV method was applied to selective preconcentration and sensitive determination of target UVFs from real water samples. Moreover, the fabricated fiber showed precisely controllable growth and 150 extraction and desorption cycles. This work presents a facile strategy with in situ growth of TiO2 nanoparticles on nickel/titanium alloy wire through hydrothermal method for selective preconcentration and determination of UVFs in water.![]()

Abstract
Lignocellulosic materials have arisen as a sustainable alternative in microextraction techniques during the last 10 years. As they are natural materials, their use fits into some of the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. Their inherent porosity, narrow shape, and rigidity permit their use in ambient ionization mass spectrometry techniques. In particular, the combination of wooden-based materials and direct analysis gives birth to the so-called wooden-tip electrospray ionization mass spectrometry technique. This approach has been used for the direct analysis of complex samples, and as a streamlined tool for fingerprint quality analysis. Also, wooden-based materials can be superficially modified to boost the interaction with target compounds, allowing their isolation from complex samples. This review describes the potential and applicability of direct analysis using lignocellulosic materials, as well as other alternatives related to their use in microextraction.

Abstract
Isoflavones are a group of phytoestrogens of important environmental concern due to their endocrine disrupting effects. This article presents a rapid, green, and sustainable method for determining four isoflavones (daidzein, genistein, formononetin, and biochanin A) in environmental waters complying with current trends in Analytical Chemistry. The method consists of in-syringe dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) as the extraction approach, using carbon fibers as extraction material. The synthesis of carbon fibers is simple and sustainable, since it only requires a natural product such as raw cotton as precursor, which is thermally treated (600 °C for 30 min) in an inert (Ar) atmosphere to convert it into carbon fibers. After extraction, the final eluate is analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The proposed methodology allows the determination of the four isoflavones in water samples at the ng L-1 range, with limits of detection in the range from 17 to 25 ng L-1, relative standard deviations (RSD) from 2.8 to 10.1%, and good batch-to-batch repeatability (RSD < 13%). The method was finally applied to six environmental water samples from different sources and two swimming pool waters, and concentrations of all analytes up to 490 ng L-1 were found. The highest concentrations were found in those samples close to crop fields. Relative recovery values (80-121%) showed that the aqueous matrices considered in this work did not significantly affect the extraction process. This method overcomes the drawbacks of the previous works with the same purpose, such as consuming large volumes of organic solvents or prolonged extraction times. Moreover, this procedure would allow the extraction stage to be carried out in situ, since only the sorbent material (previously synthesized in the laboratory) and disposable syringes are required.

Abstract
In this study, a biosorbent material with characteristics for the adsorption of organic compounds was used for a cork pellet-based bar adsorptive microextraction technique, as a new greener alternative for the determination of organochlorine compounds. Aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, lindane, 4,4-DDD, 4,4-DDE, 4,4-DDT, α-endosulfan and β-endosulfan were analyzed in water samples (drinking water, stream water and river water) with separation/detection by gas chromatography and electron capture detection (GC/ECD). The parameters that can affect the sample preparation efficiency such as desorption solvent and time as well as extraction time and ionic strength were evaluated by multivariate and univariate designs. Cork pellets (10 × Ø 3 mm) were used for the extraction of 15 mL of sample in the optimal conditions: 60 min of agitation with no salt added to the sample, followed by desorption of the cork pellet with 120 µL of ethyl acetate for 30 min. The bar-to-bar RSD out with five different bars showed good results with RSD ≤ 15.6%, allowing the use of simultaneous extractions. LOD and LOQ values ranged from 3 to 15 ng L-1 and 10 to 50 ng L-1 respectively, and the determination coefficients were greater than 0.9869. The target analytes were not detected in the three analyzed samples. Therefore, the recovery study was performed fortifying the water samples. Analyte recovery ranged from 48.7 - 138.2% for drinking water, 40.2 - 128.2% for stream water and 67.5 - 128.7% for river water.

[PMID: 33044696 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-10881-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Chemometric tools are powerful strategies to efficiently optimize many processes. These tools were employed to optimize a fast-solid phase microextraction procedure, which was used for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in oil-based produced water using a Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction technique (HS-SPME/GC-MS). This optimization was achieved with a 24 factorial design approach, where the final conditions for this extraction procedure were 10 μg L-1, 1 h, 92 °C (at headspace), and 0.62 mol L-1 for PAHs concentration, fiber exposition to headspace, temperature, and NaCl concentration, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) in this protocol ranged from 0.2 to 41.4 ng L-1, while recovery values from 67.65 to 113.10%. Besides that, relative standard deviation (RSD) were lower than 8.39% considering high molecular weight compounds. Moreover, the proposed methodology in this work does not require any previous treatment of the sample and allows to quantify a higher number of PAHs. Notably, naphthalene was the major PAHs compound quantified in all samples of the produced water at 99.99 μg L-1. Altogether, these results supported this methodology as a suitable analytical strategy for fast determination of PAHs in produced water from oil-based industry.

Modulating the selectivity of solid-phase microextraction fibers based on morphological, compositional, and size-depended control of bimetallic oxide nanostructures grown on nickel-titanium alloy substrates. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:501. [PMID: 32803379 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04481-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Nickel-titanium oxide nanotubes (NiTiONTs), nanoparticles, and nanopores were in situ grown on NiTi fiber substrates by controlling anodization parameters. The adsorption performance of different bimetallic oxide nanostructures was evaluated using typical aromatic compounds including chlorophenols, phthalic acid esters, ultraviolet filters (UVFs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) coupled to HPLC-UV. The results clearly indicate that these NiTiO nanostructures show good extraction capability for UVFs and PAHs. The extraction performance of UVFs and PAHs greatly depends on the surface morphologies and sizes of the grown NiTiO nanostructures along with their elemental compositions. Compared with NiTiO nanoparticle and nanopore coatings, the longer well-aligned NiTiONT coating exhibits better extraction capability and selectivity for PAHs than for UVFs. Therefore, the extraction parameters of the NiTi@NiTiONT fiber for PAHs were investigated and optimized. Under optimized conditions, the proposed method was linear in the range 0.05-200 μg L-1 with correlation coefficients above 0.999. Limits of detection were between 0.008 and 0.124 μg L-1. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the intra-day and the inter-day analyses with the single fiber varied from 4.09 to 6.33%. RSDs for fiber-to-fiber reproducibility of the proposed method with five fibers prepared in different batches were between 5.75 and 7.43%. The applicability of the proposed method was investigated by the enrichment and determination of target PAHs in environmental water samples and relative recoveries of 84.5 ± 6.5 - 116 ± 7.8% were achieved. Notably, the prepared fiber was stable up to 250 times. Graphical abstract.

Roles of metal, ligand and post synthetic modification on metal organic frameworks to extend their hydrophobicity and applicability toward ultra-trace determination of priority organic pollutants. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1125:231-246. [PMID: 32674770 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.05.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Implementation of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in the separation science has attracted many researchers attention. In this study, the role of metal, ligand, the reaction condition and modification on the extraction efficiency of some MOFs was investigated. Among the prevalent reported MOFs, some members of the MIL and MOF-5 families were chosen, and eleven MOF-based sorbents were prepared by changing the metal and ligand type, reaction condition, and/or functionality through post synthetic modification (PSM). MIL-101 and MIL-101-NH2 based structures were initially synthesized based on the chromium and iron salts. Also, three zinc-based structures including MOF-5, [NH2(CH3)2]2 [Zn3(C6H4(CO2)2)4].DMF.H2O and [NH2(CH3)2]2 [Zn3((C6H4)2(CO2)2)4].5DMF were synthesized. The PSM hydrophobic-oriented products of MILs were obtained by their reactions with benzyl alcohol. The resulted MOFs were characterized by FT-IR, PXRD, SEM, BET, BJH, water contact angle and TG analyses. The extraction trends of these nanostructures were studied toward some priority environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorobenzenes (CBs), and benzene homologs. The extraction procedures were performed via adapting a home-made headspace needle trap extraction (HS-NTE) setup, and determinations were followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Among all the synthesized nanostructures, the chromium-based PSM product of MIL-101-NH-CH2C6H5 proves its improved extraction capability for most of the model compounds. Eventually, the superior MOF was applied as the extractive phase in a HS-NTE-GC-MS method for isolation and trace determination of PAHs, in tea, coffee, and some other environmental water samples. Under the optimized conditions, the linear dynamic range (LDR) was in the range of 1-1000 ng L-1 (R2 > 0.992) while the limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) values were 0.1-0.2 and 0.3-0.7 ng L-1, respectively. Also, the extraction capability of the Cr-based MIL-101-NH-CH2C6H5 was compared with commercial polydimethyl siloxane-divinyl benzene (PDMS-DVB) fiber coating. The intra-and inter-day relative standard deviations for three replicates at the concentration levels of 20 and 500 ng L-1 were in the range of 4-7% and 5-10%, respectively. The needle-to-needle reproducibility was also found to be in the range of 6-10%. Acceptable relative recovery values at the concentration levels of 20 and 500 ng L-1 ranged from 89 to 98%, showing no significant matrix effect.

Abstract
During stoppers production, large amounts of cork by-products (CBPs) are generated, being used as low-value material. This project aims to turn CBPs into smart, natural and sustainable materials (sorbent) for solid-phase extraction (SPE) of pesticides from water. The study describes the use of CBPs for the extraction of 17 fungicides (metalaxyl, cyprodinil, tolylfluanid, procymidone, folpet, fludioxonil, myclobutanil, kresoxim methyl, iprovalicarb, benalaxyl, trifloxystrobin, fenhexamid, tebuconazole, iprodione, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin and dimethomorph) followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) analysis. The most critical parameters affecting SPE were optimized by experimental design methodology. Under the optimal conditions, the method was successfully validated in terms of linearity, repeatability, and intermediate precision. Fungicide recovery was assessed in different real water samples including river, fountain, rainwater and spring water at 3 concentration levels (0.1, 0.5 and 10 µg L-1). Recoveries ranged between 70-118% with RSD values lower than 20%, and matrix effects were not observed. Finally, the method was applied to samples from irrigation, rain, and river water, all collected in vineyards areas, revealing the presence of 10 of the 17 fungicides, at concentration up to hundreds of µg L-1. The use of CBPs seems to be a promising low-cost and ecofriendly alternative to be employed as sorbent in SPE techniques to extract fungicides from the aquatic environment.

Abstract
The distribution, seasonal variation and sources of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from suspended particulate matter (SPM) of the Aurá River, a small amazon typical river located in Northern Brazil, were determined. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of SPM revealed a mixture of PAH from different origins and a seasonal variation of PAH primary source for the studied area. Pyrene was the dominant PAH in both studied periods. Total PAH content (ΣPAH) ranged from lower than quantification limit (< LOQ) to 2498.2 ng g-1 dw during the dry season and < LOQ to 2865.8 ng g-1 dw during the wet season. Low molecular weight PAH (LMW) represented 51% of ΣPAH during the dry season and 29% during the wet season. It was noted, by comparing previous data, that the main source of these compounds was altered after the deactivation of an irregular landfill next to the river.

Abstract
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and their accurate determination is very important to human health and environment safety. In this review, sorptive-based micro-extraction techniques [such as Solid-Phase Micro-extraction (SPME), Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE), Micro-extraction in Packed Sorbent (MEPS)] and solvent-based micro-extraction [Membrane-Mediated Liquid-Phase Micro-extraction (MM-LPME), Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Micro-extraction (DLLME), and Single Drop Micro-extraction (SDME)] developed for quantification of PAHs in environmental, biological and food samples are reviewed. Moreover, recent micro-extraction techniques that have been coupled with other sample extraction strategies are also briefly discussed. The main objectives of these micro-extraction techniques are to perform extraction, pre-concentration and clean up together as one step, and the reduction of the analysis time, cost and solvent following the green chemistry guidelines.

Abstract
Naphthalene (NAP) is found as a pollutant in water, soil, and air, and adsorption is the most prominent removal process of this compound, among the methods studied. A study concerning the types of adsorbents and the parameters with the greatest influence on the adsorption process is interesting to direct future works on new adsorbents. The use of multivariate data analysis tools becomes an appealing way to compile data obtained from bibliographic reviews and to establish a behavior in NAP adsorption. This work aims to evaluate the parameters with greater influence on NAP adsorption process regarding adsorption capacity (qeexp) with the principal component analysis (PCA), and to group common NAP adsorbents by chemical characteristics through hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). The variables qeexp, S, [NAP]0, T, CT, and [Ads] were used to perform PCA with correlation matrix. For the HCA, the variables S, [NAP]0, T, CT, and [Ads] with average linkage method (UPGMA) and Euclidean distance were used. Through PCA, it is possible to infer that S and [NAP]0 are the factors with greater influence in qeexp of NAP, while T, CT, and [Ads] have little correlation. PCA also shows that activated charcoal is the adsorbent with higher qeexp. HCA grouped the adsorbents into four groups by their chemical classes, except group A. Both PCA and HCA methods show themselves as potential tools to evaluate a data set of NAP adsorption processes.

Abstract
Green analytical chemistry principles aim to minimize the negative impact of analytical procedures in the environment, which can be considered both at close (to ensure the safety of the analysts) and global (to conserve our natural resources) levels. These principles suggest, among other guidelines, the reduction/minimization of the sample treatment and the use of renewable sources when possible. The first aspect is largely fulfilled by microextraction, which is considered to be among the greenest sample treatment techniques. The second consideration is attainable if natural products are used as raw materials for the preparation of new extraction phases. This strategy is in line with the change in our production system, which is being gradually moved from a linear model (take–make–dispose) to a circular one (including reusing and recycling as key terms). This article reviews the potential of natural products as sorbents in extraction and microextraction techniques from the synergic perspectives of two research groups working on the topic. The article covers the use of unmodified natural materials and the modified ones (although the latter has a less green character) to draw a general picture of the usefulness of the materials.

Abstract
This work reports for the first time the use of laminar cork as a sorptive phase in a microextraction technique, rotating-disk sorptive extraction (RDSE). Typical hormones (estrone, estradiol, estriol and ethinyl estradiol) were selected as analyte models and extracted from wastewater samples on laminar cork with statistically equivalent extraction efficiency to that provided by Oasis HLB. The cork characterization was performed by confocal fluorescence microscopy (CLSM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), allowing the identification of lignin, suberin and polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicellulose) as the main components of the cork. The best conditions for extraction were as follows: rotation velocity of the disk, 2000 rpm; extraction time, 45 min; and sample volume, 20 mL. The analytical features of the developed method show that calibration curves for all analytes have R2 values higher than 0.99. The absolute recoveries were higher than 63%, and the precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, ranged from 2 to 16%. The LOD and LOQ ranges were 3-19 and 10-62 ng L-1, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of wastewater, and the concentrations of hormones in a wastewater treatment plant in Santiago, Chile, ranged from <LOQ to 48 ng L-1.

Abstract
The use of green extraction phases has gained much attention in different fields of study, including in sample preparation for the determination of organic compounds by chromatography techniques. Green extraction phases are considered as an alternative to conventional phases due to several advantages such as non-toxicity, biodegradability, low cost and ease of preparation. In addition, the use of greener extraction phases reinforces the environmentally-friendly features of microextraction techniques. Thus, this work presents a review about new materials that have been used in extraction phases applied to liquid and sorbent-based microextractions of organic compounds in different matrices.

Abstract
In this study, an environmentally friendly and high-throughput method was developed for the determination of estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and estriol (E3) in human urine by liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). A biosorbent (bract) was proposed as extraction phase for Thin-Film SPME combined with 96-well system. The characterization of the biosorbent was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimizations were carried out through univariate and multivariate approaches with optimal conditions comprised of urine samples diluted 40-fold, liquid desorption performed in methanol and addition of 20% (w/v) of NaCl in the sample. Considering an extraction/desorption cycle using the 96-well plate system, the sample preparation time was 1.7 min per sample, which contributes to the high-throughput of the method proposed. The analytical parameters of merit were determined and satisfactory results were achieved, including limits of detection ranging from 0.3 μg L-1 for estradiol to 3 μg L-1 for estrone, while limits of quantification varied from 1 μg L-1 for estradiol to 10 μg L-1 for estrone. The correlation coefficients ranged from 0.9947 for estrone to 0.9999 for estriol. The accuracy and intra-assay and intermediate precisions (RSD) were evaluated through extractions in diluted urine samples (40-fold) spiked with each analyte (1, 200 and 400 μg L-1 for E3; 0.1, 200 and 400 μg L-1 for E2; 0.5, 200 and 400 μg L-1 for EE2 and 10, 200 and 400 μg L-1 for E1). The relative recoveries (n = 3) ranged from 71 to 105%, intra-assay precision (n = 3) varied from 1 to 17% and intermediate precision (n = 9) ranged from 2 to 19%. The method developed can be successfully used for the quantification of estrogens in human urine samples.

Abstract
The Sergipe River estuary has been subjected to a range of anthropogenic activities including food, plastic, textile, ceramic and metallurgical production plants along with domestic sewage inputs, all of which are of environmental concern. In this study, the levels of fecal coliforms (FC) in surface water samples and sterols in superficial sediment samples collected from the Sergipe River estuary were determined. Based on the FC concentrations, 58% of the water samples were considered Water Potentially Unusable (WPU) according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Concentrations of coprostanol ranged from 13 to 1072 ng g-1, indicating a significant input of sewage at some points in the estuary. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that there is no clear correlation between the coprostanol and coliform data, which may be due to the high resistance to degradation of coprostanol in sediments and to recent inputs of sewage at the water sample collection points.

Abstract
In this study, the use of recycled diatomaceous earth as the extraction phase in solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in river water samples, with separation/detection performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), is proposed. The optimized extraction conditions are extraction time 70 min at 80 °C with no addition of salt. The limits of quantification were close to 0.5 μg L−1 with RSD values lower than 25% (n = 3). The linear working range was 0.5 μg L−1 to 25 μg L−1 for all analytes. The method was applied to samples collected from the Itajaí River (Santa Catarina, Brazil) and the RSD values for repeatability and reproducibility were lower than 15% and 17%, respectively. The efficiency of the recycled diatomaceous earth fiber was compared with that of commercial fibers and good results were obtained, confirming that this is a promising option to use as the extraction phase in SPME.

Abstract
The contamination of water is a high risk to human health, so there is an urgent need to rapidly detect water pollution in the field. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is suitable for on-site analysis with the merit of rapid analysis and compact size. In this study, we developed a new method which coupled fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) with IMS for rapid detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water present in the field. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was coated on the glass fiber cloth through a sol-gel reaction. After extracting the PAHs in water, the fabric coated PDMS could be directly put into the inlet of IMS instrument for thermal desorption. The PAHs were analyzed by the IMS instrument operated in the positive ion mode with a corona discharge (CD) ionization source. The primary parameters affecting extraction efficiency such as extraction time, extraction temperature, and ionic strength were investigated and optimized by using phenanthrene (Phe), benzo[a]anthracene (BaA) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) as model compounds. Under the optimal conditions, the FPSE-IMS detection limits were 5 ng ml-1,8 ng ml-1 and 10 ng ml-1 respectively. Satisfactory recoveries were obtained in the range from 80.5% to 100.5% by testing the spiked real water samples and validated by the standard method(HJ487-2009). Based on the results, the method of FPSE-IMS could be feasibly applied for monitoring the water quality on-site and providing early warning in the field.

Abstract
The distribution, sources and potential ecological risk of priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment from the Amazon River Estuary (Macapá and Santana, Amapá, Northern Brazil) were investigated. The total PAHs concentration (∑PAH) ranged from 22.2 to 158.9 ng g-1 dw (mean value 49.4 ng g-1 dw). PAHs levels in the study area were relatively low than those in nearby areas and other coastal zones worldwide, and could be considered as baseline for PAHs in Amazonic sediments. PAHs ratios and the statistical analysis showed that fossil fuel and biomass combustions, primarily from local sources, were the dominant PAHs origins. The potential ecological risk was assessed on the basis of the sediment quality guidelines, and it was found that PAHs in the sediments of the Amazon River Estuary do not cause adverse effects on living organisms; however, the abundance of naphthalene and the presence of dibenzo[a,h]anthracene and benzo[a]pyrene deserve more attention.

Abstract
A reagent-less electrochemical DNA biosensor for rapid non-electroactive polycyclic organic compounds (POCs) screening and detection was proposed. In this method, methylene blue (MB) was incorporated into DNA/chitosan polyion complex membrane and then modified onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical analysis for the prepared DNA-MB/chitosan/GCE showed that the modified electrode exhibited high electrochemical activity and stability. The addition of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), a model analyte of non-electroactive POCs, resulted in an obvious peak current decrease in DNA-MB/chitosan/GCE, and this electrochemical response was affected by the DNA type and MB/DNA ratio in the modified electrodes. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy was utilized to furthermore investigate the interaction between TC and DNA-MB/chitosan/GCE. As a result, a competitive interaction and displacement effect between TC and the intercalated MB was proposed. In our condition, the prepared DNA-MB/chitosan/GCE showed high sensitivity to POCs and had almost no response to common interferences. Besides, the good stability and reproducibility of the prepared electrode made it suitable for practical use.

Abstract
Pollution of freshwater ecosystems from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a global concern. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has included the PAHs pyrene, phenanthrene, and naphthalene among the 16 priority compounds of special concern for their toxicological effects. The aim of this study was to adapt and characterize a microbial consortium from ore waste with the potential to remove these three PAHs from water. This microbial consortium was exposed to the target PAHs at levels of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 mg L−1 for 14 days. PAH bioremoval was measured using the analytical technique of solid phase microextraction, followed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). The results revealed that up to 90% of the target PAHs can be removed from water after 14 days at a concentration level of 100 mg L−1. The predominant group of microorganisms identified at the phylum taxonomic level were the Proteobacteria, while the Actinobacteria were the predominant subgroup. The removal of phenanthrene, naphthalene, and pyrene predominantly occurred in specimens of genera Stenotrophomonas, Williamsia, and Chitinophagaceae, respectively. This study demonstrates that the use of specific microorganisms is an alternative method of reducing PAH levels in water.

Abstract
In this study, an environmentally friendly and low-cost biosorbent coating was evaluated, for the first time, as the extraction phase for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) supported on a nitinol alloy. The characterization of the new fiber was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The applicability of the biosorbent-based fiber in the determination of δ-hexachlorocyclohexane, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, α-endosulfan, endrin and 4,4'-DDD in water samples was verified, with separation/detection by gas chromatography coupled to electron capture detection (GC-ECD). The influencing parameters (temperature, extraction time and ionic strength) were optimized simultaneously using a central composite design. The optimum conditions were: extraction time of 80min at 80°C and sodium chloride concentration of 15% (w/v). Satisfactory analytical performance was achieved with limits of detection (LOD) between 0.19 and 0.71ngL-1 and limits of quantification (LOQ) between 0.65 and 2.38ngL-1. The relative recoveries for the analytes were determined using river and lake water samples spiked at different concentrations and ranged from 60% for α-endosulfan to 113% for δ-hexachlorocyclohexane, with relative standard deviations (RSD) lower than 21%. The fiber-to-fiber reproducibility (n=3) was also evaluated and the RSD was lower than 14%. The extraction efficiency obtained for the proposed biosorbent coating was compared to a commercially available DVB/Car/PDMS coating. The proposed fiber provided very promising results, including LODs at the level of parts per trillion and highly satisfactory thermal and mechanical stability.

A benzyl-functionalized crosslinked polymeric ionic liquid (PIL), produced through the co-polymerization of the 1-vinylbenzyl-3-hexadecylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (VBHDIM-NTf2) ionic liquid (IL) monomer and 1,12-di(3-vinylbenzylimidazolium)dodecane bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ((DVBIM)2C12-2NTf2) IL crosslinker, was successfully used as a sorbent coating in headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography (GC) with flame-ionization detection (FID) to determine seven volatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental water samples. Optimum extraction conditions for the PAHs when using the novel sorbent include an extraction temperature of 50°C, an ionic strength content adjusted with 30% (w/v) NaCl in the aqueous sample, and an extraction time of 60 min. The extraction performance of the crosslinked PIL fiber was compared to the SPME commercial coating polydimethylsiloxane fiber. The calibration ranges of the studied PAHs were linear in the range of 0.02-20 µg L-1 for the crosslinked PIL fiber. The accuracy of the proposed method was demonstrated by examining the spiked recoveries of seven PAHs which produced values ranging from 67.2% to 130% (for river- and seawater samples), and precision values lower than 9.4% for a spiked level of 1 µg L-1, and detection limits between 0.01 and 0.04 µg L-1, which supports the sensitivity of the method using GC-FID.

A new configuration for bar adsorptive microextraction (BAμE) for the quantification of biomarkers (hexanal and heptanal) in human urine by HPLC providing an alternative for early lung cancer diagnosis. Anal Chim Acta 2017; 965:54-62. [PMID: 28366212 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2017.02.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2016] [Revised: 02/06/2017] [Accepted: 02/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, a remodeling of the bar adsorptive microextraction (BAμE) technique is proposed with impregnation of the derivatization reagent on the surface of the adsorptive bar containing a biosorbent material. The derivatization reagent was 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH), which was adsorbed on the surface of the bar containing cork powder as the extractor phase for the determination of two aldehydes (hexanal and heptanal) which are known as lung cancer biomarkers in human urine samples. The derivatization reaction and the extraction occurred simultaneously on the surface of the bar (length 7.5 mm) under acidic conditions. The method optimization was carried out by univariate and multivariate analysis. The optimal conditions for the method were a DNPH to aldehydes ratio of 40:1, buffer solution of pH 4.0, extraction time of 60 min and liquid desorption of 10 min in 100 μL of acetonitrile. The aldehydes were analyzed by HPLC-DAD with a simple and fast (6 min) chromatographic run. The limits of detection (LODs) for hexanal and heptanal were 1.00 and 0.73 μmol L-1, respectively. The relative recoveries in urine samples ranged from 88 to 111% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) being less than 7%. The method developed is of low cost and can be successfully used for the quantification of these two lung cancer biomarkers in human urine samples, potentially providing an early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
The Piauí-Real estuary is located along the southern coast of Sergipe state, Northeast Brazil. This estuary has great economic importance due to its physical, biological, and socioeconomic diversity, but it is subject to anthropogenic stress since the resident population in the town bordered by the estuarine system has grown in recent years. Thus, the possibility of sewage contamination originating from the approximately 450,000 inhabitants living within its drainage basin was investigated in this study. Sediment samples were collected from 15 sampling stations along the estuarine system and extracted, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Six sterols were quantified, indicating natural and anthropogenic sources. Coprostanol concentrations higher than 100 ng g-1 were observed in 47 % of the stations analyzed, indicating sewage contamination, which was confirmed by the diagnostic ratios calculated. Based on the Pearson correlation test, a significant correlation between coprostanol concentrations and total organic carbon content (TOC) was observed, indicating that sterols record the history of sewage inputs in this area. These results indicate that control of the organic inputs into the estuarine system is required. Graphical abstract Sterol markers were determined and sources assessed in surface sediments from Piauí-Real estuarine system.

Abstract
The São Francisco River estuarine system, located in the Northeast coast of Brazil, has great economic, tourist and social importance. Its waters are used for activities such as agriculture, aquaculture, navigation and fishery, which supplies the surrounding communities. In this study, sterols markers were determined in twenty-eight sediment samples from São Francisco River estuary by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Sterol analysis was useful to distinguish between anthropogenic and biogenic organic matter (OM) sources in the studied area. Six sterols were quantified, suggesting different sources. Concentrations of fecal sterol (coprostanol) were lower than 500ngg(-1), suggesting no indicative of severe sewage contamination.However, two stations showed concentrations around 100ngg(-1) and the values for the coprostanol/(coprostanol+cholestanol) and coprostanol/cholesterol ratios indicates sewage contamination. The results in this study may be considered as baseline concentrations to be used as future reference for monitoring programs to prevent anthropogenic impacts.
