Rapid, easy and catalyst-free preparation of magnetic thiourea-based covalent organic frameworks at room temperature for enrichment and speciation of mercury with HPLC-ICP-MS. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1717:464683. [PMID: 38295741 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
The complex and cumbersome preparation of magnetic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) nanocomposites on a small scale limits their application. Herein, a rapid and easy route was employed for the preparation of magnetic thiourea-based COFs nanocomposites. COFs were coated on Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature without a catalyst within approximately 30 min. This method is suitable for the large-scale preparation of magnetic adsorbent. Using the as-prepared magnetic adsorbent (Fe3O4@COF-TpTU), we developed a simple, efficient, and sensitive magnetic solid-phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (MSPE-HPLC-ICP-MS) for the enrichment and determination of mercury species, including Hg2+, methylmercury (MeHg), and ethylmercury (EtHg). The effects of the experimental parameters on the extraction efficiency, including solution pH, adsorption and desorption time, composition and volume of the elution solvent, salinity, coexisting ions, and dissolved organic matter, were comprehensively investigated. Under optimised conditions, the limits of detection in the developed method were 0.56, 0.34, and 0.47 ng L-1 with enrichment factors of 190, 195, and 180-fold for Hg2+, MeHg, and EtHg, respectively. The satisfactory spiked recoveries (97.0-103%) in real water samples and high consistency between the certified and determined values in a certified reference material demonstrate the high accuracy and reproducibility of the developed method. The as-proposed method with simple operation, high sensitivity, and excellent anti-matrix interference performance was successfully applied to the enrichment and determination of trace levels of mercury species in the natural samples with complicated matrices, such as underground water, surface water, seawater and biological samples.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) and its compounds are highly toxic for humans and ecosystems, and their chemical forms determine both their behavior and transportation as well as their potential toxicity for human beings. Determining the various species of an element is therefore more crucial than understanding its overall concentration in samples. For this reason, several studies focus on the development of new analytical techniques for the identification, characterization, and quantification of Hg compounds. Commercially available, hyphenated technology, such as HPLC-ICP-MS, supports the rapid growth of speciation analysis. This review aims to summarize and critically examine different approaches for the quantification of mercury species in different samples using HPLC-ICP-MS. The steps preceding the quantification of the analyte, namely sampling and pretreatment, will also be addressed. The scenarios evaluated comprehend single and multi-element speciation analysis to create a complete guide about mercury content quantification.

Abstract
Graphene derivatization to either engineer its physical and chemical properties or overcome the problem of the facile synthesis of nanographenes is a subject of significant attention in the nanomaterials research community. In this paper, we propose a facile and scalable method for the synthesis of thiolated graphene via a two-step liquid-phase treatment of graphene oxide (GO). Employing the core-level methods, the introduction of up to 5.1 at.% of thiols is indicated with the simultaneous rise of the C/O ratio to 16.8. The crumpling of the graphene layer upon thiolation without its perforation is pointed out by microscopic and Raman studies. The conductance of thiolated graphene is revealed to be driven by the Mott hopping mechanism with the sheet resistance values of 2.15 kΩ/sq and dependable on the environment. The preliminary results on the chemiresistive effect of these films upon exposure to ethanol vapors in the mix with dry and humid air are shown. Finally, the work function value and valence band structure of thiolated graphene are analyzed. Taken together, the developed method and findings of the morphology and physics of the thiolated graphene guide the further application of this derivative in energy storage, sensing devices, and smart materials.

Abstract
Quantification of ultra-trace inorganic and organic species of lead and mercury in unpolluted environmental water is crucial to estimate the mobility, toxicity and bioavailability and interactions. Simultaneous pre-concentration of Pb and Hg species in pg L-1 levels followed by multi-elemental speciation analysis makes great sense to a large set of unstable samples because of time advantages. Herein simultaneous enrichment and speciation analysis of ultra-trace lead and mercury in water was developed by online solid-phase extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-ICP-MS) for this aim. Pb(II), trimethyl lead (TML), triethyl lead (TEL), Hg(II), methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) were baseline separated in 11 min under gradient elution using 5 mM l-cysteine (Cys) at pH 2.5 in the 0-1 and 4-15 min and 5 mM Cys + 0.5 mM tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide solution at pH 2.5 in the 1-4 min. Lead and mercury species in 10 mL intact water samples were adsorbed on a 1 cm C18 enrichment column pre-conditioned with 10 mL of 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol at 10 mL min-1, and then directly desorbed by the mobile phases. High enrichment factors (459 for Pb(II), 1248 for TML, 1627 for TEL, 2485 for Hg(II), 1984 for MeHg and 1866 for EtHg) were obtained with good relative standard deviations (<5%), leading to low LODs (0.001-0.011 ng L-1) and LOQs (0.004-0.036 ng L-1). Good accuracy of this method was validated by two certified reference materials of total lead in water (GBW08601) and total mercury in water (GBW08603) along with spiked recoveries (89-93%). The method was applied to analyze trace lead and mercury species in river, lake, tap and rain water, and purified and mineral water. Inorganic lead of 13-68 ng L-1 and inorganic mercury of 21-49 ng L-1 were measured in the nine water samples whereas TML, TEL and MeHg were not detected with 2-5 ng L-1 EtHg presented only in one river water and tap water.

Abstract
A simple and practical magnetic solid-phase extraction high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MSPE-HPLC-ICP-MS) method for extraction and determination of trace mercury species, including inorganic mercury (IHg), monomethylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg), was developed. The MSPE adsorbent, urchin-like thiol and thioether-functionalized magnetic covalent organic frameworks (Fe3O4@COF-S-SH), was synthesized by coating covalent organic frameworks (COFs) on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles at room temperature and then easily grafting 1,2-Ethanedithiol on the COFs. The as-prepared Fe3O4@COF-S-SH has strong adsorption capacity for IHg, MeHg and EtHg, with excellent static adsorption capacity: 571, 559 and 564 mg g-1, respectively. The parameters influencing the extraction and enrichment had been optimized, including pH, adsorption and desorption time, composition and amount of the eluent, co-existing ions and dissolved organic materials etc. Under the optimized condition, the limit of detection (3δ) of the proposed method were 0.96, 0.17 and 0.47 ng L-1 for IHg, MeHg and EtHg, and the developed method has high actual enrichment factors of 370, 395, 365-fold for IHg, MeHg and EtHg based on 200 mL samples, respectively. The high accuracy and reproducibility has been proved by the spiked recoveries (96.0‒108 %) in real water samples and determination of the certified reference material. Both the adsorption and desorption process can be completed within 5 min. The proposed method with simple operation, short pre-concentration time and high sensitivity has been successfully applied to mercury speciation at trace levels in the samples with complicated matrices, including underground water, surface water, sea water and fish samples.

Abstract
Mercury speciation was achieved using a nanocomposite, consisting of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and TiO2 nanoparticles, to mediate photo-degradation of mercurial species into the Hg cold vapor detected by atomic spectrometry. Sample solution (containing Hg2+, CH3CH2Hg, and CH3Hg at hundreds of ng L-1) was placed in quartz tube containing formic acid solution (2% v/v) and microliter aliquot of GQDs/TiO2 nanocomposite dispersion (0.6 mg of nanocomposite). The tube was placed inside a photochemical reactor then, adapted to the mercury-dedicated spectrometer. Quantitative speciation was achieved taking advantage of the differences in UV photodegradation kinetics: Hg2+ (5 min), CH3CH2Hg (9 min) and CH3Hg (13 min). Gas-chromatography cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry was used to confirm the evolution of the reactions over time during photo-reaction. The limits of detection were 10 ng L-1 for CH3CH2Hg and 7 ng L-1 for Hg2+ and CH3Hg.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have draw extensive attention from the scientists in recent years mainly due to their unique and attractive thermal, mechanical and electronic properties, as well as high surface to volume ratio and the possibility for surface functionalization. Whereas mono functional nanomaterials providing a single function, the preparation of core/shell nanoparticles allows different properties to be combined in one material. Their properties have been extensively exploited in different extraction techniques to improve the efficiency of separation and preconcentration, analytical selectivity and method reliability. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated revision of the most important features and application of nanomaterials (metallic, silica, polymeric and carbon-based) for solid phase extraction and microextraction techniques in speciation analysis of some metals and metalloids (As, Cr, Sb, Se). Emphasis will be placed on the presentation of the most representative works published in the last five years (2015-2019).

The method is based on the complexation between 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole (2-HBT)-modified copolymer(s) and Hg(II) in the presence of an ionic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), as sensitivity enhancer at pH 4.5 and the extraction of the complex into the surfactant-rich phase of polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether (Triton X-114) as the extractant. The variables affecting extraction efficiency were evaluated and optimized. Due to the observation that the modified copolymers are 2.5-fold more sensitive and selective to the Hg2+ ions than the CH3Hg+, the amounts of free Hg2+ and total Hg were determined at 325 nm by spectrophotometric detection of free Hg2+ and total Hg in the pre-treated and extracted fish samples using dilute acid mixture containing Triton X-114 and K2Cr2O7, before and after oxidation of CH3Hg+ to Hg2+ with mixture of KBr and KBrO3 in the acidic media. The amount of CH3Hg+ was calculated from the difference between total Hg and free Hg2+ amounts. The accuracy was tested by analysis of two certified samples. The results were statistically in good agreement with the certified values, and the precision was lower than 6.4%. The limits of detection were 1.40 (1.58) and 1.91 (2.11) μg L-1 for Hg2+ from the two calibration solutions spiked before the pre-treatment, respectively. It has been observed that there is no significant matrix effect by comparison of slopes of the calibration curves. The method was applied to seafood samples for speciation analysis of free Hg2+ and CH3Hg+. In terms of speciation, while total Hg is detected in the range of 12.6-143.8 μg kg-1, the distribution of mercury in seafood was in the range of 7.4-53.3 μg kg-1 for CH3Hg+ and in 8.3-90.5 μg kg-1 for free Hg2+.

Abstract
An isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INAH) chemically modified fumed silica, as a novel adsorbent, was designed for the preconcentration and determination of Hg (II) ions in fish samples via the solid phase extraction followed by the hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). In this work, the efficiency of the synthesized adsorbent was investigated to determine its ability for the extraction of the Hg (II) ions from the aqueous solutions. The extraction efficiency was investigated by optimizing of different experimental conditions, such as pH, sample volume, flow rate, adsorbent dosage, and eluent type. Under the optimal conditions, a linear calibration curve for the solid phase extraction method was obtained in the range of between 0.12 and 16.5 μg L-1. The obtained detection limit and preconcentration factor were 0.018 μg L-1 and 25, respectively (RSD > 3%). The proposed optimized method was successfully applied to fish samples.

Abstract
In order to obtain a well understanding of the toxicity and ecological effects of trace elements in the environment, it is necessary to determine not only the total amount, but also their existing species. Speciation analysis has become increasingly important in making risk assessments of toxic elements since the toxicity and bioavailability strongly depend on their chemical forms. Effective separation of different species in combination with highly sensitive detectors to quantify these particular species is indispensable to meet this requirement. In this paper, we present the recent progresses on the speciation analysis of trace arsenic, mercury, selenium and antimony in environmental and biological samples with an emphasis on the separation and detection techniques, especially the recent applications of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) hyphenated to atomic spectrometry or mass spectrometry.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, a simple method was developed for the aggregation of graphene oxide (GO) with the addition of NaCl to concentrate and separate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples, and this method was used as a environmentally friendly method for the determination of PAHs. We demonstrate the uniform dispersion of GO sheets in aqueous samples for the fast high-efficiency adsorption of PAHs. Aggregation occurred immediately upon elimination of electrostatic repulsion by adding NaCl to neutralize the excessive negative charges on the surfaces of the GO sheets. The aggregates of GO and PAHs were separated and treated with hexane to form a slurry. The slurry was filtered and subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis. Based on a 40-mL sample volume, limits of detection of 10–30 ng L-1were obtained for 16 PAHs, with correlation coefficients (R2) exceeding 0.99. The method yielded good recovery, ranging from 80 to 111% and 80 to 107% for real spiked water samples at 100 and 500 ng L-1, respectively. Compared to traditional solid-phase extraction and liquid–liquid extraction methods, this method is free of organic reagents in the pretreatment procedure and uses only 1 mL hexane for sample introduction.

Abstract
In this paper, Fe3O4@SiO2@γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPTS) magnetic nanoparticles was prepared and a new method of magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE)-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed for the speciation of mercury including inorganic mercury (Hg2+), methylmercury (MeHg+) and phenylmercury (PhHg+) in environmental water, wastewater, tap water and fish samples. A rapid separation of three target mercury species was achieved in 8min by employing relatively high ratio of methanol in HPLC mobile phase. Various parameters affecting Fe3O4@SiO2@γ-MPTS-based MSPE of target mercury species have been investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection for Hg2+, MeHg+ and PhHg+ were in the range of 0.49-0.74ngL-1. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (n=5) were less than 9.0% and 12%, respectively. The developed MSPE-HPLC-ICP-MS method was validated by the speciation of mercury in the Certified Reference Material of DORM-2 dogfish as well as real-world samples including environmental water, wastewater, tap water and fish samples, and it has the advantages of simple operation, rapid separation, high sensitivity, high enrichment factor and is suitable for the analysis of mercury species in samples with complex matrix.
