Abstract
Thallium (Tl) is a potential toxicity element that poses significant ecological and environmental risks. Recently, a substantial amount of Tl has been released into the environment through natural and human activities, which attracts increasing attention. The determination of this hazardous and trace element is crucial for controlling its pollution. This article summarizes the advancement and progress in optimizing Tl detection techniques, including atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), voltammetry, inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-based methods, spectrophotometry, and X-ray-based methods. Additionally, it introduces sampling and pretreatment methods such as diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, and cloud point extraction. Among these techniques, ICP-mass spectrometry (MS) is the preferred choice for Tl detection due to its high precision in determining Tl as well as its species and isotopic composition. Meanwhile, some new materials and agents are employed in detection. The application of novel work electrode materials and chromogenic agents is discussed. Emphasis is placed on reducing solvent consumption and utilizing pretreatment techniques such as ultrasound-assisted processes and functionalized magnetic particles. Most detection is performed in aqueous matrices, while X-ray-based methods applied to solid phases are summarized which provide non-destructive analysis. This work improves the understanding of Tl determination technology while serving as a valuable resource for researchers seeking appropriate analytical techniques.

Abstract
Despite the many benefits derived from the unique features and practicality of nanoparticles, the release of their toxic by-products or products from the synthesis stage into the environment could negatively impact natural resources and organisms. The physical and chemical methods for nanoparticle synthesis involve high energy consumption and the use of hazardous chemicals, respectively, going against the principles of green chemistry. Biological methods of synthesis that rely on extracts from a broad range of natural plants, and microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria, algae, and yeast, have emerged as viable alternatives to the physical and chemical methods. Nanoparticles synthesized through biogenic pathways are particularly useful for biological applications that have high concerns about contamination. Herein, we review the physical and chemical methods of nanoparticle synthesis and present a detailed overview of the biogenic methods used for the synthesis of different nanoparticles. The major points discussed in this study are the following: (1) the fundamentals of the physical and chemical methods of nanoparticle syntheses, (2) the use of different biological precursors (microorganisms and plant extracts) to synthesize gold, silver, selenium, iron, and other metal nanoparticles, and (3) the applications of biogenic nanoparticles in diverse fields of study, including the environment, health, material science, and analytical chemistry.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 138:318-327. [PMID: 34929536 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2021.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI-FA) contains leachable heavy metals. In the present study the correlations between heavy metal content, particle size, speciation distribution with respect to water leaching are investigated, using a combination of solid-state bulk analytical techniques, leaching treatments, sequential extractions and thermodynamic geochemical modelling. Among the analyzed heavy metals, Zn and Pb are the most abundant in any grain size class, followed by Cu, Cr, Cd and Ni, with concentration that tends to increase with a decrease of the grain size. The phase composition is constituted of salt (halite, sylvite, anhydrite and syngenite), which provide the main minerals regardless of the particle size class; calcite, quartz and gehlenite occur in comparatively lower amounts, while 50% wt is composed of amorphous fraction. Heavy metal leaching is strongly correlated to speciation distribution, and in particular to the fraction (F1) associated with salt, carbonate and weak surface sorption. Leaching from speciation due to surface complexation on Al/Fe (hydr)oxide becomes relevant at acidic regime. Particle size and heavy metal content, in turn, moderately correlate with leaching. The F1-speciation as a function of particle size does not exhibit a definite trend shared by all heavy metals under investigation. This suggests that i) differences in speciation distribution, rather than bare heavy metal content or particle size, govern leaching from MSWI-FA; ii) F1 can be regarded as a marker of the potential heavy metal leaching; iii) a comparatively modest efficiency in managing MSWI-FA is expected from grain size separation strategies.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel, simple, and sensitive method for the direct determination of trace Sb in water samples was developed based on hydrogen-doped solution anode glow discharge-optical emission spectrometry (SAGD-OES). It was found that the vapor generation and excitation of Sb occurred simultaneously in the SAGD, contributing to the significant improvement in the sensitivity of Sb as compared with normal pure He-operated SAGD or solution cathode glow discharge. Besides, the proposed hydrogen-doped SAGD-OES could be operated even at pH = 14, which could reduce the interference of coexisting ions as many metal ions could be precipitated and removed. Our results demonstrated that the proposed method offered good tolerance to the interferences of Li, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Ni, Mn, and Zn ions even at a concentration of 50 mg L-1. Under optimized conditions, the limit of detection of Sb was 0.85 μg L-1, which was comparable to that of microplasma sources coupled with conventional hydride generation. The linearity of the Sb calibration curve reached R2 > 0.999 in the 5-5000 μg L-1 range. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed method was validated by the determination of certified reference materials [GSB 07-1376-2001 (1) and (2))] and real water samples. The proposed low-power (6 W), green, sensitive, rapid, and robust method provides a promising approach for on-site trace Sb analysis and may also be extended to other elements.

Abstract
A risk-based approach for routine identity testing of therapeutic oligonucleotide drug substances and drug products is described. Risk analysis of solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis indicates that intact mass measurement is a powerful technique for confirming synthesis of the intended oligonucleotide. Further risk assessment suggests that the addition of a second, sequence-sensitive identity test, which relies on a comparison of some property of the sample to a reference standard of proven identity, results in a sufficient test of identity for most oligonucleotide drug substances and products. Alternative strategies for drug product identity testing are presented. The analysis creates a common way to communicate risk and should result in a harmonized approach to identity testing that avoids the unnecessary analytical burden associated with routine de novo sequencing, without compromising quality or patient safety.

Abstract
Herein, an original exciton energy transfer-based sensitive fluorescence sensor for the determination of Hg2+ has been designed through DNA aptamer-programmed self-assembly of CdTe quantum dots (QDs). In this work, CdTe QDs were applied as fluorescence signal source. The two pieces of T-rich aptamer played a role as molecular recognition probes which could bind to the target Hg2+ specifically. The extent of Hg2+-triggered self-assembly of QDs depended on the concentration of Hg2+, which resulted in an exciton energy transfer effect between QDs, giving an obvious fluorescence signal decrease and red-shift of the fluorescent peak. Based on this principle, we could detect the Hg2+ in two different signal modes. The limit of detection (LOD) was 3.33 nM. The proposed sensing method exhibited its application in detecting Hg2+ in real water samples with satisfactory performance. The results indicated that this proposed sensor will be of great potential in biological and analytical fields.

Abstract
Microplasma optical-emission spectrometry (OES) is a promising technique for developing portable analytical instrumentations for real-time and on-site measurement of trace elemental species. However, its analytical performance is far from satisfactory for multielement analysis. Herein, a miniature OES system is developed for simultaneous multielement analysis with alternating-current-driven microplasma generated on the nozzle of a pneumatic micronebulizer as the excitation source. Because of the strong excitation capability of the microplasma and its sufficient contact with solution, a series of elements, including Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, and Zn, is directly excited in the spray with solution nebulization at a flow rate of 8 μL s-1. The characteristic optical emissions are measured by a charge-coupled-device (CCD) spectrometer. In addition, hydride generation is compatible with the present system, which makes it feasible for the simultaneous excitation of hydrides of As, Ge, Hg, Sb, and Sn by reaction with 0.8% (m/v) NaBH4. The microplasma-OES system exhibits a powerful capability for multielement analysis with favorable limits of detection for the mentioned elements.

Abstract
Hydrothermal treatment of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) in the presence of sodium citrate generates a suspension of highly fluorescent silicon nanocrystals that fluoresces blue under UV irradiation. The photoluminescent quantum yield of the as-prepared silicon nanocrystals was calculated to be 21.6%, with quinine sulfate as the standard reference. Only mercuric ions (Hg(2+)) can readily prevent the fluorescence of the silicon nanocrystals, indicating a remarkably high selectivity towards Hg(2+) over other metal ions. The optimized sensor system shows a sensitive detection range from 50 nM to 1 μM and a detection limit of 50 nM. The quenching mechanism was explained in terms of optical absorption spectra and time-resolved fluorescence decay spectra. Due to the strong interaction of Hg(2+) with the thiol group, the fluorescence can be fully recovered by biothiols such as cysteine and glutathione, therefore, a regenerative strategy has been proposed and successfully applied to detect Hg(2+) by the same sensor for at least five cycles. Endowed with relatively high sensitivity and selectivity, the present sensor holds the potential to be applied for mercuric assay in water.

Abstract
The analytical utility of a micro-hollow cathode glow discharge plasma for detection of varied hydrocarbons was tested using acetone, ethanol, heptane, nitrobenzene, and toluene. Differences in fragmentation pathways, reflecting parent compound molecular structure, led to differences in optical emission patterns that can then potentially serve as signatures for the species of interest. Spectral simulations were performed emphasizing the CH (A(2)Δ-X(2)Π), CH (C(2)Σ-X(2)Π), and OH (A(2)Σ(+)-X(2)Π) electronic systems. The analytical utility of selected emission lines is demonstrated by a linear relationship between optical emission spectroscopy and parent compound concentration over a wide range, with detection limits extending down to parts per billion (ppb) levels.

Determination, speciation and distribution of mercury in soil in the surroundings of a former chlor-alkali plant: assessment of sequential extraction procedure and analytical technique. Chem Cent J 2013; 7:178. [PMID: 24252185 PMCID: PMC4176730 DOI: 10.1186/1752-153x-7-178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2013] [Accepted: 11/08/2013] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The paper presents the evaluation of soil contamination with total, water-available, mobile, semi-mobile and non-mobile Hg fractions in the surroundings of a former chlor-alkali plant in connection with several chemical soil characteristics. Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis were used to evaluate the chemical composition variability of soil and factors influencing the fate of Hg in such areas. The sequential extraction EPA 3200-Method and the determination technique based on capacitively coupled microplasma optical emission spectrometry were checked. RESULTS A case study was conducted in the Turda town, Romania. The results revealed a high contamination with Hg in the area of the former chlor-alkali plant and waste landfills, where soils were categorized as hazardous waste. The weight of the Hg fractions decreased in the order semi-mobile > non-mobile > mobile > water leachable. Principal Component Analysis revealed 7 factors describing chemical composition variability of soil, of which 3 attributed to Hg species. Total Hg, semi-mobile, non-mobile and mobile fractions were observed to have a strong influence, while the water leachable fraction a weak influence. The two-dimensional plot of PCs highlighted 3 groups of sites according to the Hg contamination factor. The statistical approach has shown that the Hg fate in soil is dependent on pH, content of organic matter, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu and SO42- rather than natural components, such as aluminosilicates. Cluster analysis of soil characteristics revealed 3 clusters, one of which including Hg species. Soil contamination with Cu as sulfate and Zn as nitrate was also observed. CONCLUSIONS The approach based on speciation and statistical interpretation of data developed in this study could be useful in the investigation of other chlor-alkali contaminated areas. According to the Bland and Altman test the 3-step sequential extraction scheme is suitable for Hg speciation in soil, while the used determination method of Hg is appropriate.
