Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1296:342295. [PMID: 38401926 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342295] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antidepressants is essential for monitoring patient medication to avoid drug toxicity, complications, or nonadherence. Chromatographic techniques with high sensitivity and reproducibility are the main detection method for antidepressants. Effective pretreatment of biological sample processes is necessary prior to instrumental analysis. Magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) has received much attention for its advantages of simple operation, rapidity, cost-effectiveness and low organic solvent consumption. Therefore, the development of a suitable and green magnetic sorbent for the detection of antidepressants in plasma and urine is apparently necessary. (88) RESULTS: A magnetic phytic acid-modified kapok fiber biochar sorbent (Fe3O4/PAKFBC) was successfully synthesized by pyrolytic impregnation and physical milling methods. Fe3O4/PAKFBC exhibited a large specific surface area (214 m2 g-1) and a rich pore structure (5-10 nm). The extraction equilibrium, using 10 mg Fe3O4/PAKFBC, can be completed in about 1 min. The density functional theory (DFT) results showed that the adsorption mechanism of Fe3O4/PAKFBC on the six antidepressants mainly included electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions, π-π interactions and weak hydrogen bonding. Examination using the greenness assessment tools showed that the developed method exhibited excellent greenness. By combining with liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (LC-UV), a quantitative method with good linearity (R2 > 0.993) and relative recoveries (92.4-107.7%) and negligible matrix effect (-11.5-6.0%) was developed. The Fe3O4/PAKFBC successfully detected six antidepressants in plasma and urine samples, requiring no pH adjustment with buffer salts. (142) SIGNIFICANCE: The environmental sustainability of the proposed methods was affirmed by six greenness evaluation tools, all indicating exceptional eco-friendliness. The Fe3O4/PAKFBC demonstrated outstanding greenness in both its creation and analytical application, proving highly effective in real sample applications and showcasing potential for broader use. This study contributes to a deeper and broader understanding of the microscopic adsorption mechanism, which can help in the optimization and development of more green sorbents. (69).

[PMID: 37607647 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Odor is a critical environmental problem that negatively affects people's quality of life. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) often emit various odorous compounds, such as ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and organosulfur. Abatement of odor emissions from WWTPs using biochar may contribute to achieving carbon neutrality due to the carbon negative nature, CO2 sorption, and negative priming effects of biochar. Biochar has a high specific surface area and microporous structure with appropriate activation, which is suitable for sorption purposes. Various research directions have been proposed to determine the biochar removal efficiency for different odorants released from WWTPs. According to the literature survey, the pre- and post-treatments (e.g., thermal treatment, chemical treatment, and metal impregnation) of biochar could enhance the removal capacity for the odorants emitted from WWTPs at comparable conditions, compared to unmodified biochar. The feedstock and production condition (particularly, pyrolysis temperature) of a biochar and initial concentration of an odorant markedly affect the biochar's odorant removal capacity and efficiency. Moreover, different adsorption systems for the removal of odorants emitted from WWTPs follow different adsorption models. Further research is required to establish the practical use of biochar for the mitigation of odors released from WWTPs.

Abstract
Developing advanced carbon materials by utilizing biomass waste has attracted much attention. However, porous carbon electrodes based on the electronic-double-layer-capacitor (EDLC) charge storage mechanism generally presents unsatisfactory capacitance and energy density. Herein, an N-doped carbon material (RSM-0.33-550) was prepared by directly pyrolyzing reed straw and melamine. The micro- and meso-porous structure and the rich active nitrogen functional group offered more ion transfer and faradaic capacitance. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements were used to characterize the biomass-derived carbon materials. The prepared RSM-0.33-550 possessed an N content of 6.02% and a specific surface area of 547.1 m2 g-1. Compared with the RSM-0-550 without melamine addition, the RSM-0.33-550 possessed a higher content of active nitrogen (pyridinic-N) in the carbon network, thus presenting an increased number of active sites for charge storage. As the anode for supercapacitors (SCs) in 6 M KOH, RSM-0.33-550 exhibited a capacitance of 202.8 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. At a higher current density of 20 A g-1, it still retained a capacitance of 158 F g-1. Notably, it delivered excellent stability with capacity retention of 96.3% at 20 A g-1 after 5000 cycles. This work not only offers a new electrode material for SCs, but also gives a new insight into rationally utilizing biomass waste for energy storage.

Abstract
NH3 is a typical alkaline gaseous pollutant widely derived from industrial production and poses great risks to humans and other biota. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent adsorption capacities relative to materials traditionally used to adsorb NH3. However, in practice, applications of MOFs as adsorbents are restricted because of its powder form. We prepared a polyamide (PA) macroporous polyester substrate using an emulsion template method and modified the surface with polyethylenimine (PEI) to improve the MOF growth efficiency on the substrate. The difficulty of loading the MOF because of the fast nucleation rate inside the PA macroporous polyester substrate was solved using a stepwise impregnation layer-by-layer (LBL) growth method, and a PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) hierarchical pore composite that very efficiently adsorbed NH3 was successfully prepared. The PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) adsorption capacity for NH3 was 16.07 mmol·g-1 at 298 K and 100 kPa, and the PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) could be regenerated repeatedly under vacuum at 423 K. The NH3 adsorption mechanism was investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and by performing two-dimensional correlation analysis. Unlike for the MOF303(Al) powder, the formation of multi-site hydrogen bonds between Al-O-Al/C-OH, N-H, -OH, C=O, and NH3 in PA-PEI-MOF303(Al) was found to be an important reason for efficient NH3 adsorption. This study will provide a reference for the preparation of other MOF-polymer composites.

Abstract
Oil palm fibre is a type of solid waste generated from palm oil processing plant. At present, there is no proper utilization of this abundant waste. Ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) has received a lot of attention as a water pollutant due to its toxicity, which has an impact on both the environment and human health. In aquaculture wastewater (AQW), NH3-N is present in low concentrations (<10 ppm), and removing low concentrations of NH3-N is tedious. Thus, this study focuses on the potential of oil palm fibre biochar (OPFB) for sustainable low concentration NH3-N recovery from AQW and the recovered spent adsorbent to be used as a bio-fertilizer. The Physico-chemical properties of OPFB show a positive correlation with NH3-N recovery. A significant reduction of value-added metals in OPFB has confirmed the recovery of NH3-N through the ion exchange process. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics of NH3-N recovery had good correlation coefficients under the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetic model confirming a multilayer heterogeneous and chemical adsorption respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the recovery process via adsorption was exothermic and had a Physio-chemical mechanism. At optimum conditions, OPFB could recover up to 66% of NH3-N actual AQW. The properties of spent OPFB showed potential reutilization as a soil amendment agent or biofertilizer which could be easily degraded.

Abstract
Oxygen-free copper (OFC) serves as a core component of high-end manufacturing, and requires high surface quality. It is always a significant challenge to manufacture high-quality atomic-level surfaces. In this study, SiO2 nanospheres with good dispersibility were prepared and a late-model environmentally friendly chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry was developed. The CMP slurry consists of SiO2 nanospheres, CeO2 nanospheres, H2O2, NaHCO3, polyaspartic acid and deionized water. After CMP, the average roughness (Sa) of the OFC wafer reached 0.092 nm with an area of 50 × 50 μm2. Atomic-level flatness on the oxygen-free copper surface was acquired, which has never been reported before. Moreover, the mechanical removal mechanism of abrasive particles and the chemical reactions during lapping and CMP are proposed in detail. The thickness and composition of the damaged layer after lapping and polishing were analyzed. The lapping-damaged layer consists of a lattice distortion region, moiré fringes, grain boundary, superlattice and edge dislocations, and the polishing-damaged layer contains a handful of stacking faults with single-layer or multi-layer atoms. The chemical action involves three reactions: oxidation, corrosion and chelation. The processing method and its mechanistic explanation pave the way for the fabrication of high-performance OFC surfaces for use in vacuum, aerospace, military and electronic industries.
