Preconcentration and Separation of Gold Nanoparticles from Environmental Waters Using Extraction Techniques Followed by Spectrometric Quantification. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911465. [PMID: 36232767 PMCID: PMC9570491 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The quantification of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in environmental samples at ultratrace concentrations can be accurately performed by sophisticated and pricey analytical methods. This paper aims to challenge the analytical potential and advantages of cheaper and equally reliable alternatives that couple the well-established extraction procedures with common spectrometric methods. We discuss several combinations of techniques that are suitable for separation/preconcentration and quantification of AuNP in complex and challenging aqueous matrices, such as tap, river, lake, brook, mineral, and sea waters, as well as wastewaters. Cloud point extraction (CPE) has been successfully combined with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), chemiluminescence (CL), and total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF). The major advantage of this approach is the ability to quantify AuNP of different sizes and coatings in a sample with a volume in the order of milliliters. Small volumes of sample (5 mL), dispersive solvent (50 µL), and extraction agent (70 µL) were reported also for surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (SA-DLLME) coupled with electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ETV-ICP-MS). The limits of detection (LOD) achieved using different combinations of methods as well as enrichment factors (EF) varied greatly, being 0.004–200 ng L−1 and 8–250, respectively.

Abstract
Analysis and characterization of naturally occurring and engineered nanomaterials in the environment are critical for understanding their environmental behaviors and defining real exposure scenarios for environmental risk assessment. However, this is challenging primarily due to the low concentration, structural heterogeneity, and dynamic transformation of nanomaterials in complex environmental matrices. In this critical review, we first summarize sample pretreatment methods developed for separation and preconcentration of nanomaterials from environmental samples, including natural waters, wastewater, soils, sediments, and biological media. Then, we review the state-of-the-art microscopic, spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, electrochemical, and size-fractionation methods for determination of mass and number abundance, as well as the morphological, compositional, and structural properties of nanomaterials, with discussion on their advantages and limitations. Despite recent advances in detecting and characterizing nanomaterials in the environment, challenges remain to improve the analytical sensitivity and resolution and to expand the method applications. It is important to develop methods for simultaneous determination of multifaceted nanomaterial properties for in situ analysis and characterization of nanomaterials under dynamic environmental conditions and for detection of nanoscale contaminants of emerging concern (e.g., nanoplastics and biological nanoparticles), which will greatly facilitate the standardization of nanomaterial analysis and characterization methods for environmental samples.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal and is commonly used in industrial applications. Thus, Pb poisoning is a concerning public health issue worldwide. The amounts of lead in natural water, urine, and blood can serve as significant indicators for monitoring the exposure of Pb poisoning. Waste toner has the characteristics of both "waste" and "resource," as it is a "resource in the wrong place." Here, a low-cost carboxylate-functionalized magnetic adsorbent was first synthesized from waste toner by a simple thermal treatment and served as a novel adsorbent with a flexible multidentate O-donor for pre-concentration of trace Pb. The characterization, adsorption behavior, and various factors of adsorption and desorption were adequately optimized, and prior to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) detection, a new magnetic solid-phase extraction method was proposed for the analysis of Pb in real environmental water and biological samples. The developed method exhibited a low detection limit (0.003 μg L-1), high enrichment factor (88.6-fold), good linearity (0.01-0.3 μg L-1), satisfactory precision with relative standard deviations of 7.9% (n = 7, CPb = 0.02 μg L-1), fast adsorption kinetics (5 min), and strong ability to overcome matrix interference. Validation was also performed by analyzing a certified standard reference material, and the method was successfully applied to real tap water, lake water, human urine, and human blood serum with satisfactory recoveries of 92.6-109%.

The present work focuses on miniaturized analytical strategies reported in the literature for the determination of CECs. The first part of the review provides brief overview of CECs whose monitoring in environmental samples is of particular significance, namely personal care products, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, UV-filters, newly registered pesticides, illicit drugs, disinfection by-products, surfactants, high technology rare earth elements, and engineered nanomaterials. Besides, an overview of downsized sample preparation approaches reported in the literature for the determination of CECs in environmental samples is provided. Particularly, analytical methodologies involving microextraction approaches used for the enrichment of CECs are discussed. Both solid phase- and liquid phase-based microextraction techniques are highlighted devoting special attention to recently reported approaches. Special emphasis is placed on newly developed materials used for extraction purposes in microextraction techniques. In addition, recent contributions involving miniaturized analytical flow techniques for the determination of CECs are discussed. Besides, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of point of need and portable devices have been identified and critically compared with chromatographic methods coupled to mass chromatography.

Abstract
Due to strong activity, it is very difficult to remove low concentrations of bromide in medical wastewater by traditional method, thus highly effective and greener adsorbents should be utilized to design. In this work, the cellulose beads (CBs) were modified by the TEMPO-mediated oxidation and then bonded with Fe3+ to fabricate Fe(III)-complexed carboxylated cellulose beads (Fe-CCBs) adsorbents. Structure and properties of Fe-CCBs were analyzed using Energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), total acidity and basicity groups, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption and Thermogravimetric (TGA). Moreover, batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of Br- was better consistent with general-order kinetic model and Liu isotherm model, which could also further clarify the adsorption process mechanism. Meanwhile, the results revealed that removal of Br- was a spontaneous exothermic process and was more suitable to be carried out under neutral or acidic conditions. Furthermore, the mechanism of adsorption behavior of bromide ions on Fe-CCBs was based on a combination of electrostatic attraction and outer-sphere complexation. The results of this study can provide guidance for the design of novel material adsorbents and the removal of harmful anions from aqueous solutions.

Phosphoric acid functionalized magnetic sorbents for selective enrichment of TiO 2 nanoparticles in surface water followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detection.

[PMID: 31753505 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 11/08/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Phosphoric acid functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide was synthesized, and different adsorption behavior of TiO2 NPs and titanium ions on it was found. By means of dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D), the adsorption mechanism of TiO2 NPs and titanium ions on the functionalized sorbents was explored, and the difference in the adsorption behavior was attributed to the different deprotonated forms of phosphates and the competitive adsorption of OH- anion with respect to either TiO2 NPs or aqueous titanium ions. Based on the different adsorption performance of phosphoric acid functionalized sorbents for TiO2 NPs and titanium ions under pH 3, a method by combining magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was established for the selective quantification of trace TiO2 NPs in environmental water. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection limit of TiO2 NPs was 17 ng/L with an enrichment factor of 400. The developed MSPE-ICPMS method was applied to the detection of trace TiO2 NPs in the Yangtze River and the East Lake water. Sub μg/L level of TiO2 NPs was found in the tested water samples, and recoveries of 91-110% and 90-110% were obtained for TiO2 NPs at three concentration levels in spiked water samples, respectively. The developed method exhibited high adsorption capacity and low detection limit for target TiO2 NPs, and was demonstrated with great potential for monitoring TiO2 NPs in the environment.

Abstract
Efficient separation and preconcentration of trace nanoparticulate silver (NAg) from large-volume environmental waters is a prerequisite for reliable analysis and therefore understanding the environmental processes of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Herein, we report the novel use of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filter membrane for disk-based solid phase extraction (SPE) of NAg in 1 L of water samples with the disk-based SPE system, which consists of a syringe pump and a syringe filter holder to embed the filter membrane. While the PVDF membrane can selectively adsorb NAg in the presence of Ag+, aqueous solution of 2% (m/v) FL-70 is found to efficiently elute NAg. Analysis of NAg is performed following optimization of filter membrane and elution conditions with an enrichment factor of 1000. Additionally, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and size-exclusion chromatography coupled with ICP-MS (SEC-ICP-MS) analysis showed that the extraction gives rise to no change in NAg size or shape, making this method attractive for practical applications. Furthermore, feasibility of the protocol is verified by applying it to extract NAg in four real waters with recoveries of 62.2-80.2% at 0.056-0.58 μg/L spiked levels. This work will facilitate robust studies of trace NAg transformation and their hazard assessments in the environment.

Abstract
Accurate characterization, quantification, and identification of nanoparticles (NPs) are essential to fully understand the environmental processes and effects of NPs. Herein, the elemental mass size distribution (EMSD), which measures particle size, mass, and composition, is proposed for the direct size characterization, mass quantification, and composition identification of trace NPs in complex matrixes. A one-step method for the rapid measurement of EMSDs in 8 min was developed through the online coupling of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The use of a mobile phase with a relatively high ionic strength (a mixture of 2% FL-70 and 2 mM Na2S2O3) ensured the complete elution of different-sized NPs from the column and, therefore, a size-independent response. After application of a correction for instrumental broadening by a method developed in this study, the size distribution of NPs by EMSD determination agreed closely with that obtained from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Compared with TEM, EMSD allows a more rapid determination with a higher mass sensitivity (1 pg for gold and silver NPs) and comparable size discrimination (0.27 nm). The proposed EMSD-based method was capable of identifying trace Ag2S NPs and core-shell nanocomposite Au@Ag, as well as quantitatively tracking the dissolution and size transformation of silver nanoparticles in serum and environmental waters.

Abstract
The increasing use of metal-based nanoparticle products has raised concerns in particular for the aquatic environment and thus the quantification of such nanomaterials released from products should be determined to assess their environmental risks. In this study, a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of size and mass concentration of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in aqueous suspension was established by direct coupling of thin layer chromatography (TLC) with catalyzed luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescence (CL) detection. For this purpose, a moving stage was constructed to scan the chemiluminescence signal from TLC separated AuNPs. The proposed TLC-CL method allows the quantification of differently sized AuNPs (13 nm, 41 nm and 100 nm) contained in a mixture. Various experimental parameters affecting the characterization of AuNPs, such as the concentration of H2O2, the concentration and pH of the luminol solution, and the size of the spectrometer aperture were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits for AuNP size fractions of 13 nm, 41 nm and 100 nm were 38.4 μg L(-1), 35.9 μg L(-1) and 39.6 μg L(-1), with repeatabilities (RSD, n = 7) of 7.3%, 6.9% and 8.1% respectively for 10 mg L(-1) samples. The proposed method was successfully applied to the characterization of AuNP size and concentration in aqueous test samples.
