JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:135019. [PMID: 38925054 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Based on multiple ligands strategy, a series of multivariate metal organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) named as PCN-224-DCDPSx were prepared using one-pot solvothermal method to extract and remove sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs). The pore structure and adsorption performance can be further regulated by modulating the doping ratios of medium-tetra(4-carboxylphenyl) porphyrin and 4,4'-dicarboxydiphenyl sulfones. The MTV-MOFs of PCN-224-DCDPS1.0 possesses very large specific surface area (1625 m2/g). Using PCN-224-DCDPS1.0 as sorbent, a dispersive solid-phase extraction method was developed to extract and preconcentrate SAs from water, eggs, and milk prior to high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The limits of detection of method were determined between 0.17 and 0.27 ng/mL with enrichment factors ranging 214-327. The adsorption can be finished within 30 s, and the recovery rate remains above 80 % after 10 repeated uses. The adsorption capacities of sorbent were determined from 300 to 621 mg/g for sulfadiazine, sulphapyridine, sulfamethoxydiazine, sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfabenzamide, and sulfadimethoxine. The adsorption mechanisms were investigated and can be attributed to π-π interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions. This work represents a method for preparation of MTV-MOFs and uses as sorbent for extraction and enrichment of trace pollutants from complex samples.

Abstract
In the search for pharmaceutically active compounds from natural products, it is crucial and challenging to develop separation or purification methods that target not only structurally similar compounds but also those with specific pharmaceutical functions. The adsorption-based method is widely employed in this field and holds potential for this application, given the diverse range of functional monomers that can be chosen based on structural or functional selectivity. In this work, an imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) modified paper membrane was synthesized via microwave reaction. Caffeic acid (CA), with potential interactions with imidazolium IL and a representative component of phenolic acids in Taraxaci Herba, was chosen as a target compound. After optimization of synthesis and extraction parameters, the resulting extraction membrane could be used to quantitatively analyze CA at ng/ml level, and to extract CA's analogues from the sample matrix. Cheminformatics confirmed the presence of structural and functional similarity among these extracted compounds. This study offers a novel approach to preparing a readily synthesized extraction membrane capable of isolating compounds with structural and functional analogies, as well as developing a membrane solid-phase extraction-based analytical method for natural products.

J Chromatogr A 2024; 1730:465138. [PMID: 38970874 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465138] [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: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
In this study, an enhanced selective recognition strategy was employed to construct a novel solid-phase microextraction fiber coating for the detection of 17β-estradiol, characterized by the combination of aptamer biorecognition and molecularly imprinted polymer recognition. Benefiting from the combination of molecularly imprinted and aptamer, aptamer-molecularly imprinted (Apt-MIP) fiber coating had synergistic recognition effect. The effects of pH, ion concentration, extraction time, desorption time and desorption solvent on the adsorption capacity of Apt-MIP were investigated. The adsorption of 17β-estradiol on Apt-MIP followed pseudo-second order kinetic model, and the Freundlich isotherm. The process was exothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. Compared with polymers that only rely on imprinted recognition, non-imprinted recognition or aptamer affinity, Apt-MIP had the best recognition performance, which was 1.30-2.20 times that of these three materials. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of Apt-MIP for 17β-estradiol was 885.36-1487.52 times than that of polyacrylate and polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzone commercial fiber coatings. Apt-MIP fiber coating had good stability and could be reused for more than 15 times. Apt-MIP solid-phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was successfully applied to the determination of 17β-estradiol in pork, chicken, fish and shrimp samples, with satisfactory recoveries of 79.61 %-105.70 % and low limits of detection (0.03 μg/kg). This work provides new perspectives and strategies for sample pretreatment techniques based on molecular imprinting technology and improves analytical performance.

Abstract
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), a type of fatty acid that has many health benefits, are of increasing concern. Herein, we developed a method for the rapid esterification and enrichment of ω-3 PUFAs in eggs, which includes microwave-assisted esterification (MAE) and electrically enhanced solid-phase microextraction (EE-SPME). Combined with gas chromatographic, efficient detection of ω-3 PUFAs was achieved in eggs. Under microwave radiation, the esterification efficiency exhibited a significant increase ranging from 5.06 to 10.65 times. The EE-SPME method reduced extraction time from 50 to 15 min. In addition, improvements in extractive fiber coating materials were explored, which ensured efficient extraction of ω-3 PUFAs. Under the optimal conditions, the method displayed a low detection limit (1.01-1.54 μg L-1), good recoveries (85.82%-106.01%), and wide linear range (7.5-1000 μg L-1), which was successfully applied to determine ω-3 PUFAs in real egg samples.

Abstract
A simple, sustainable, and sensitive monitoring approach of micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) in aqueous samples is crucial since it helps in assessing the extent of contamination and understanding the potential risks associated with their presence without causing additional stress to the environment. In this study, a novel strategy for qualitative and quantitative determination of MNPs in water by direct solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was proposed for the first time. Spherical poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and irregularly shaped polyvinyl dichloride (PVDC) were used to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed method. The results demonstrated that both PMMA and PVDC MNPs were efficiently extracted by the homemade SPME coating of nitrogen-doped porous carbons (N-SPCs) and exhibited sufficient thermal decomposition in the GC-MS injection port. Excellent extraction performances of N-SPCs coating for MNPs are attributed to hydrophobic cross-linking, electrostatic forcing, hydrogen bonding, and pore trapping. Methyl methacrylate was identified as the marker for PMMA, while 1,3-dichlorobenzene and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene were the indicators for PVDC. Under the optimal extraction and decomposition conditions, the proposed method exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 0.0041 μg/L for PMMA and 0.0054 μg/L for PVDC. Notably, a programmed temperature strategy for the GC-MS injector was developed to discriminate and eliminate the potential interferences of intrinsic indicator compounds. Owing to the integration of sampling, extraction, injection, and decomposition into one step by SPME, the proposed method demonstrates exceptional sensitivity, eliminating the necessity for complex sample pretreatment procedures and the use of organic solvents. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied in the determination of PMMA and PVDC MNPs in real aqueous samples.

Abstract
cis-Diol-containing molecules, an essential type of compounds in living organisms, have attracted intensive research interest from various fields. The analysis of cis-diol-containing molecules is still suffering from some drawbacks, including low abundance and abundant interference. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be an ideal sorbent for sample preparation. However, most of the reported MOFs are mainly restricted to a microporous regime (pore size <2 nm), which greatly limits the application. Herein, a facile strategy is established to construction of boronate affinity MOFs via the postsynthetic ligand-exchange process. Owing to the fact that the ligand-exchange process was assisted by the structural integrity of the primitive metal-organic framework and the great compatibility of click chemistry, the obtained EPBA-PCN-333(Fe) is able to realize the maximum maintaining the porosity and crystallinity of the parent material. Several intriguing features of EPBA-PCN-333(Fe) (e.g., excellent selectivity, efficient diffusion, good accessibility, and size exclusion effect) are experimentally demonstrated via a series of cis-diol-containing molecules with different molecular sizes (small molecules, glycopeptides, and glycoproteins). The binding performance of EPBA-PCN-333(Fe) is evaluated by employing catechol as the test molecule (binding capacity: 0.25 mmol/g, LOD: 200 ng/mL). Finally, the real-world applications of EPBA-PCN-333(Fe) were demonstrated by the detection of nucleosides of human urine samples.

Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been widely proposed for the extraction, clean-up, and preconcentration of analytes of environmental concern. Enrichment capabilities, preconcentration efficiency, sample throughput, and selectivity in extracting target compounds greatly depend on the materials used as SPME coatings. Supramolecular materials have emerged as promising porous coatings to be used for the extraction of target compounds due to their unique selectivity, three-dimensional framework, flexible design, and possibility to promote the interaction between the analytes and the coating by means of multiple oriented functional groups. The present review will cover the state of the art of the last 5 years related to SPME coatings based on metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular macrocycles used for environmental applications.

Abstract
Sample preparation, including extraction, separation, and purification, is a vital process for natural product analysis. As an attractive sample pretreatment method, magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) has gained plenty of attention, mainly due to its simpler operation, less consumption of organic solvents, and shorter processing time than traditional SPE. This updated review is devoted to summarizing the applications of MSPE based on different magnetic nanomaterials in the analysis of various natural products in complex matrixes, such as biological samples, plants, and Chinese herbal preparations in the past four years (2020-2023). The preparation and fabrication of different materials are briefly introduced. Furthermore, the extraction mechanism and interaction forces between adsorbent and analytes are elaborated, and the advantages and disadvantages of different adsorbents coupled with various analytical methods for MSPE of different natural products are summarized. Moreover, the future trends and opportunities for MSPE in the natural product analysis are discussed. It is expected that this work can provide updated information for future research on the applications of MSPE in such fields.

Abstract
Streptomycin (STR), an aminoglycoside antibiotic with the potential to persist in honey and other food products, may induce allergy, toxicity and antibiotic resistance in humans. In this study, we developed a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) biosensor based on a quartz rod that was modified with double-stranded DNA structures consisting of partially complementary G-rich base DNA strand and STR aptamer. The STR isolated by SPME initially bound to the aptamer. Then the remaining double-stranded DNA structures were cleaved by the Nt.BstNBI enzyme, resulting in release of G-quadruplex dimers. The latter formed a complex with thioflain T fluorescent dye, resulting in an amplified fluorescence response. The method exhibited high sensitivity (a limit of detection of 10.84 pM), wide linear range (0.05 nM ∼ 500 nM (with determination coefficient > 0.99)), and simple operation, making it suitable and convenient for STR detection. Successful STR determination in genuine honey samples was demonstrated.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are considered to be potentially genotoxic and carcinogenic to humans. For non-smoking populations, food is the main source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure. Due to their lipophilic nature, oils and fats rank among the food items with the highest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content. Consequently, the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils is critical for the promotion of human health. This paper reviews sample pretreatment methods, such as liquid-phase-based extraction methods, adsorbent-based extraction methods, and the QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method, combined with detection techniques like mass spectrometry and chromatography-based techniques for accurate quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils since 2010. An overview on the advances of the methods discussed herein, along with a commentary addition of current challenges and prospects, will guide researchers to focus on developing more effective detection methods and control measures to reduce the potential risks and hazards posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Porous chlorine-functionalized covalent organic framework anchored graphene aerogel composite for synergically enhanced solid phase microextraction of polychlorinated naphthalene in environmental water.

Abstract
The residues of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) produced in multiple industrial production and life processes are continuously entering environmental waters through atmospheric deposition and land drainage, and the water pollution caused by PCNs is continuing public concern due to their potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health. Herein, a new chlorine-functionalized covalent organic framework anchored graphene aerogel (COF-GA) was synthesized by covalent modification technology and used as fiber coating of solid-phase microextraction for synergically enhanced extraction of PCNs in environmental water. The extraction efficiency of COF-GA coated fiber was superior to commercial fiber due to the multiple interactions (π-π, hydrophobic interaction, and halogen bonding interaction). The COF-GA coated fiber has good stability, can avoid water vapor interference at 80 °C for a long time (30 -50 min) to maintain adsorption equilibrium, and can be reused at least 96 times. Combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, a sensitive method for the high-efficient enrichment (enrichment factors were 501 -7453 folds) and ultra-sensitive detection (LODs were 0.001 -0.428 pg/mL) of PCNs in environmental water was established. The enrichment factor for PCNs is significantly higher than in previous studies. This proposed method provides new technical support for the daily monitoring and risk assessment of trace PCNs in environmental water.

Abstract
Analysis of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) residues in milk faces a significant challenge. Herein, a sea urchin structured covalent organic framework bearing boric acid groups named COF-B(OH)2 was synthesized and applied as a coating material for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of the OCPs in cattle's milk. Its performance was superior to that of three commonly used commercial SPME fibers, which could be due to the coexistence of hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, π-stacking and electrostatic interactions. Besides, the fiber coating displayed good stability and reusability. After optimization, a COF-B(OH)2 based SPME coupled with gas chromatography-electron capture detection was established for the sensitive detection of the OCPs from milk samples. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were between 0.04 and 1.00 μg kg-1. Satisfactory accuracy was achieved with the method recoveries in the range of 87.5 % to 112.5 %. These results manifest the feasibility of the COF-B(OH)2 coated fiber for the enrichment of the trace OCPs from milk samples.

Nitrogen-rich covalent organic framework as a practical coating for effective determinations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Talanta 2024; 271:125655.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are high-profile organic pollutants to be poisonous, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, and widely distributed at trace levels in the environment. In order to effectively enrich PAHs, two stable covalent organic frameworks (COFs, TAPT-OMe-PDA and TPB-DMTP) were prepared by combining 2,4,6-tri(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TAPT) and 1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB) with 2,5-dimethoxy-phenyl-1,4-diformaldehyde (OMe-PDA), respectively. Even though the surface area of TAPT-OMe-PDA was much lower than that of TPB-DMTP, it still demonstrated much better extraction efficiencies towards PAHs as the solid phase microextraction (SPME) coating. Therefore, the TAPT-OMe-PDA coated fiber was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to establish a practical and sensitive method, after the extraction parameters (extraction time, extraction temperature, desorption temperature, desorption time, salt concentration and pH) were optimized. This developed analytical method showed wide linear ranges, low limits of detection, good repeatability and reproducibility. Finally, five PAHs in three water samples were detected and quantified precisely (2.72-38.7 ng·L-1) with satisfactory recoveries (88.3%-118%).

Abstract
Human skin emits a series of volatile compounds from the skin due to various metabolic processes, microbial activity, and several external factors. Changes in the concentration of skin volatile metabolites indicate many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and infectious diseases. Researchers focused on skin-emitted compounds to gain insight into the pathophysiology of various diseases. In the case of skin volatolomics research, it is noteworthy that sample preparation, sampling protocol, analytical techniques, and comprehensive validation are important for the successful integration of skin metabolic profiles into regular clinical settings. Solid-phase microextraction techniques and polymer-based active sorbent traps were developed to capture the skin-emitted volatile compounds. The primary advantage of these sample preparation techniques is the ability to efficiently and targetedly capture skin metabolites, thus improving the detection of the biomarkers associated with various diseases. In further research, polydimethyl-based patches were utilized for skin research due to their biocompatibility and thermal stability properties. The microextraction sampling tools coupled with high sensitive Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer provided a potential platform for skin volatolomes, thus emerging as a state-of-the-art analytical technique. Later, technological advancements, including the design of wearable sensors, have enriched skin-based research as it can integrate the information from skin-emitted volatile profiles into a portable platform. However, individual-specific hydration, temperature, and skin conditions can influence variations in skin volatile concentration. Considering the subject-specific skin depth, sampling time standardization, and suitable techniques may improve the skin sampling techniques for the potential discovery of various skin-based marker compounds associated with diseases. Here, we have summarised the current research progress, limitations, and technological advances in skin-based sample preparation techniques for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and personalized healthcare applications.

Abstract
Based on the π-metal interaction between silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and aromatic compounds, AgNPs were in-situ grown to melamine-formaldehyde (MF) aerogel for improving the extraction performance to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The AgNPs/MF aerogel was regulated through varing the concentration of reactants, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. As a new extraction coating, the AgNPs/MF aerogel was coated to stainless-steel wires for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME). The extraction effects of MF aerogels before and after the modification of AgNPs were compared, and the AgNPs greatly improved the extraction ability for PAHs reaching to 166.4 %. Combining IT-SPME with high performance liquid chromatographic detection, an online analytical system was constructed. Furthermore, the sampling volume and rate, concentration of organic solvent, and desorption time were optimized factor by factor. The online analytical method with low detection limits (0.003-0.010 μg L-1) and efficient enrichment factors (1998-3237) for PAHs was established, which fastly detected trace level of PAHs in drinking and environmental water samples. Compared with other methods, the method was comparable or better in the detection limit and linear range, indicating prospective application of the AgNPs/MF aerogel for sample preparation.

Abstract
In this study, we present a thoughtful integration of a dispersive solid-phase sorbent and oxine for the ultrasensitive and highly selective determination of Al3+ ions. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4 NPs) modified with oxine were employed to facilitate the pre-concentration and estimation of Al3+, forming highly fluorescent chelate. The modification process included the assistance of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sonication. The results indicated that the fluorescence intensity of Al3+-oxine/SDS@CoFe2O4 NPs surpassed that of Al3+-oxine alone. The confirmation of the successful functionalization of CoFe2O4 NPs with oxine was established through various techniques. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity exhibited a positive correlation with increasing concentrations of Al3+ within the range of 0.029-600 ng mL-1, achieving a detection limit of 0.0087 ng mL-1 based on signal to noise ratio 3 : 1. The developed method was effectively applied to the determination of Al3+ in drinking water samples, yielding recoveries in the range of 97.19% to 103.13%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD%) not exceeding 3.78%.

Abstract
Determinations of micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) in environmental samples are essential to assess the extent of their presence in the environment and their potential impact on ecosystems and human health. With the aim to provide a sensitive method with simplified pretreatment steps, cooling-assisted solid-phase microextraction (CA-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is proposed as a new approach to quantify mass concentrations of MNPs in water and soil samples. The herein proposed CA-SPME method offers the unique advantage of integrating the thermal decomposition of MNPs and enrichment of signature compounds into one step. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was used as a model substance to verify the method performance in this work. Theoretical insights demonstrated that pyrolysis is the rate-determining step during the extraction process and that PMMA is effectively decomposed at 350 °C with an estimated incubation time of 13 min. Eight compounds were identified in the pyrolysis products by CA-SPME-GC-MS with the use of a DVB/CAR/PDMS coating, wherein methyl methacrylate was considered as the best indicator and dimethyl 2-methylenesuccinate was selected as the confirmation compound. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed method exhibited wide linearity (0.5-2000 μg for water and 5-1000 μg for soil) and high sensitivity, with limits of detection of 0.014 and 0.28 μg for water and soil, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied for determinations of PMMA MNPs in real water and soil samples with satisfactory recoveries attained. The method only required the employment of a filter membrane for water analysis, while soil samples were analyzed directly without any pretreatment. The solvent-free approach, straightforward operation, and high sensitivity of the proposed method show great potential for the analysis of MNPs in different environmental samples.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a series of organic pollutants with potential cytotoxicity and biotoxicity. Accurate and sensitive detection of trace PFASs in single cells can provide insights into investigating their cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity. Here we report the development of an inner-wall coated nanopipette microextraction coupled with induced nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (InESI-MS) method and its application for rapid, sensitive, and accurate analysis of trace PFASs in single cells. A specially designed inner-wall coated nanopipette was prepared for sampling of the cytoplasm from a single cell, and the trace PFASs in the cytoplasm were selectively enriched into the coating via reversed-phase adsorption, ion bonding adsorption, and π-π interaction mechanisms. After the extraction, the cytoplasm was removed, and the enriched PFASs were then desorbed into some organic solvent, applying an alternating current (AC) voltage to the inner-wall coated nanopipette for InESI-MS analysis. The inner-wall coated nanopipette showed an exhaustive extraction to the trace PFASs in one single cell, and thus, the mass of each target analyte in the cytoplasm can be calculated via an internal standard calibration curve method, avoiding the measurement of ultrasmall volume cytoplasm for one single cell. By using the inner-wall coated nanopipette microextraction coupled with InESI-MS method, trace PFASs accumulated in the LO2 cells with pollutant exposure were successfully detected, and the accumulative behaviors and heterogeneities of PFASs in single cells were explored.

Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a green, environmentally friendly, and efficient technique for sample pre-treatment. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of porous materials formed by covalent bonds, have gained prominence owing to their remarkable attributes, including large specific surface area, tunable pore size, and robust thermal/chemical stability. These characteristics have made COFs highly appealing as potential coatings for SPME fiber over the past decades. In this review, various methods used to prepare SPME coatings based on COFs are presented. These methods encompass physical adhesion, sol-gel processes, in situ growth, and chemical cross-linking strategies. In addition, the applications of COF-based SPME coating fibers for the preconcentration of various targets in environmental, food, and biological samples are summarized. Moreover, not only their advantages but also the challenges they pose in practical applications are highlighted. By shedding light on these aspects, this review aims to contribute to the continued development and utilization of COF materials in the field of sample pretreatment.

Abstract
The size of the adsorbent has the potential to influence extraction performance, but the size effect at the nanoscale is still poorly understood. In this study, organic-inorganic hybrid nanospheres (OIHNs) with controllable nanoscale sizes of 30, 50, and 100 nm were successfully prepared. These materials were further fabricated as solid phase microextraction (SPME) coatings with similar thicknesses, and coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to investigate their extraction performance. The results showed that the extraction capacities of OIHNs for chlorobenzenes (CBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were much better than those of their corresponding derived carbon materials, despite the smaller specific surface areas and lower porosities of them. In addition, the enrichment performance increased significantly with decreasing particle size, and the OIHN-30 coating demonstrated the best performance, with enrichment factors ranging from 1098 to 6853 for CBs. Finally, a highly sensitive and practical analytical method was established with a wide linear range of 0.5-5000 ng·L-1, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.43-1.7 ng·L-1. The determinations of ultratrace CBs in five marine water samples and five fresh water samples were realized successfully. This study is expected to contribute to a deep understanding of the environmental effects of nanoparticles and the design of high-performance adsorbents.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), assembling through covalent bonds, are a rising class of porous materials. Nowadays, various COFs are widely applied in organic pollutants decontamination due to the outstanding capabilities of large surface area, multiple functional groups, porous structure, excellent absorptivity, flexible design and so on. This review concentrates on the applications of COFs in different decontamination technologies such as solid-phase extraction, membrane filtration and sieving, adsorption, and catalysis reaction. The factors influencing water chemistry, such as pH, temperature, salt concentration and natural organic matter, are summarized in terms of their impact on decontamination performance and the extraction mechanisms for the diverse analytes. The interaction mechanisms between COFs and organic pollutants were hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, a perspective on current obstacles and upcoming developments of COFs for organic pollutant removal has been provided. Due to their adaptable and versatile design as well as elaborate and diverse functionalization, COFs possess significant possibility in ameliorating environmental pollution.

Three-dimensional rose-like zinc oxide fiber coating for simultaneous extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by headspace solid phase microextraction. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1711:464450.

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) rose-like zinc oxide (ZnO) material was prepared by a simple one-step CTAB-assisted hydrothermal strategy and used as a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coating. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID), and conclusively applied to ultrasensitive detection in lake and river water. Compared with one-dimensional (1D) pencil-like ZnO, the layer-by-layer petal-like structure could fully expose mass adsorption sites on the surface, which could significantly improve the adsorption. The enrichment factors with 7535-8595 for PCBs and 3855-7320 for PAHs were achieved. The established method provided a satisfactory linear range (0.005-30 ng·mL-1), coefficient (R2 > 0.9978), ultra-low limit detection (1-3 pg·mL-1), and long service life (≥ 150 times). The recoveries of 83.42-120.86 % were obtained in the real detection application of lake and river water. This work demonstrated that 3D rose-like ZnO with low cost, simple synthesis, fast extraction ability and high enrichment performance was an ideal coating material, which was hoped to enrich other compounds with similar structures with PCBs and PAHs.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and halogenated derivatives are a series of environmental pollutants with potential toxicity and health risks on biosystems and the ecosystem. Rapid and sensitive analysis of trace PAHs and halogenated PAHs in complex environmental samples is a challenging topic for analytical science. Here we report the development of a nanospray laser-induced plasma ionization MS method for rapid and sensitive analysis of trace PAHs and halogenated PAHs under ambient and open-air conditions. A nanospray tip was applied for loading samples and placed pointing to the MS inlet, being a nanospray emitter with the application of a high voltage. A beam of laser was focused to induce energetic plasma between the nanospray emitter and the MS inlet for ionization of PAHs and halogenated PAHs for mass spectrometric analysis. Meanwhile, an inner-wall naphthyl-coated nanospray emitter was developed and applied as a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) probe for highly selective enrichment of trace PAHs and halogenated PAHs in complex environmental samples, and some organic solvent was applied to desorb the analytes for nanospray laser-induced plasma ionization MS analysis. Satisfactory linearity for each target PAH and halogenated PAH was obtained, with correlation coefficient values (r) no less than 0.9917. The method showed extremely high sensitivity for analysis of trace PAHs and halogenated PAHs in water, with limits of detection (LODs) and quantification (LOQs) of 0.0001-0.02 and 0.0003-0.08 μg/L, respectively. By using the inner-wall naphthyl-coated nanospray laser-induced plasma ionization MS method, sensitive detection of trace PAHs and halogenated PAHs in real sewage and wastewater samples was successfully achieved.

Abstract
Design and preparation of new fiber coatings for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is of significance to the sample preparation techniques. Herein, a facile strategy has been developed for the integration of the black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets with metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) to generate a BP/ZIF-8 nanocomposite. For the first time, the newly-synthesized BP/ZIF-8 nanocomposite was adopted as the SPME fiber coating for the extraction of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). Under the optimized conditions, the BP/ZIF-8 based SPME method gained acceptable linearity (0.04-20 µg L-1), low limits of detection (0.012-0.051 µg L-1) and good repeatability (3.2-8.1%). Coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometric detection, the developed SPME method was successfully used for the preconcentration of OPPs from environmental waters with the method recoveries from 92.0%-103.8%. This method offers a good alternative for the analysis of trace OPPs in environmental water samples.

Abstract
Enrichment and detection of trace pollutants in the real matrix are essential for evaluating water quality. In this study, benefiting from the good affinities of 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxylphenyl)pyrene) (H4TBAPy) with itself and melamine (MA) respectively, the composite hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs, MA/PFC-1), PFC-1 self-assembled by 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxylphenyl)pyrene), were successfully constructed by the mild strategy of solvent evaporation at room temperature. Through a series of characterizations, such as Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analyses, and N2 adsorption-desorption, etc., the MA/PFC-1 was confirmed to be a stable and excellent material. In addition, it possessed high surface area, hierarchical micropores, strong hydrogen bonds, and rich function groups containing N and O heteroatoms, since the newly introduced MA could be another hydrogen bonding motif, as well as increased the polarity of reaction solvent. These advantages make MA/PFC-1 be an ideal coating material for solid phase microextraction (SPME). Satisfactory enrichment factors for nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) were got by the MA/PFC-1 fiber under the optimized conditions obtained by the control variables (extraction time of 60 min, extraction temperature of 80 °C, desorption time of 6 min, desorption temperature of 260 °C, pH value of 7, and stirring speed of 250 rpm). MA/PFC-1 was further used to develop an analytical method for NACs based on head-space SPME coupled with gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS). The developed method with low limits of detection (4.30-20.83 ng L-1) and good reproducibility (relative standard deviations <8.6%). The excellent performance allowed the successful application of the developed method in the determinations of trace NACs in real water samples with recoveries of 80.1%-119%. This study proposed a mild approach to synthesize composite HOFs via doping MA and developed an environmentally friendly method for the precise determinations of NACs in the environment.

Abstract
Sample preparation is a key step in most analytical methods, generally regarded as the least green step of the entire procedure. The existing green metrics assess the greenness of sample preparation techniques through the evaluation of the whole analytical procedure: including sampling, sample preparation, and the final detection/quantitation. Such inclusion of the entire method makes assessing the sustainability of a newly developed sample preparation technique quite challenging, as many aspects not solely linked to the sample preparation step are unavoidably considered. Thus, an alternative metric that can explicitly and exclusively evaluate the sample preparation is proposed. The metric is simple; it reports the result with a clock-like diagram, displaying the greenness outcome of main sample preparation parameters and a total score. This new metric can differentiate closely related microextraction approaches in terms of sustainability. The metric is also open-source and can be used by downloading the Excel sheet provided.

Abstract
Binders are critical components used in the preparation of a range of extraction devices, including solid-phase microextraction (SPME) devices. While the main role of a binder is to affix the sorbent particles to the selected support, it is critical to select the optimal binder to ensure that it does not negatively impact the coating's particle sorption capability. This work presents the first comprehensive investigation of the interactions between binders and solid sorbent particles as these interactions can significantly impact the performance of the coating. Specifically, the findings presented herein provide a better understanding of the extraction mechanisms of composite coatings and new rules for predicting the particle adhesion forces and binder distribution in the coating. The influence of binder chemistry on coating performance is investigated by examining a selection of the most used binders, namely, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene amorphous fluoroplastics (PTFE AF 2400), and polybenzimidazole (PBI). The solid particles (e.g., hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB) and C18) used in this work were selected for their ability to provide optimal extraction coverage for a broad range of analytes. The results show that PDMS does not change the properties of the solid particles and that the binder occupies a negligible volume due to shrinking after polymerization, resulting in the solid particles making up most of the coating volume. Hence, the coating sorption characteristics correspond closely to the properties of the selected solid particles. On the other hand, the results also showed that PTFE AF 2400 can interact with the active surface of the sorbent, leading to the deactivation of the sorbent particles. Therefore, the extraction performance and permeability coefficients decrease as the size of the penetrant increases, indicating a rigid porous structure. The results of this study can aid in the optimization of SPME devices as they provide reference values that can be used to determine the optimal binder and the sorbent affinity for the targeted compounds. Finally, the present work also provides the broader scientific community with a strategy for investigating the properties of sorbent particle/binder structures and defines the characteristics of a good coating/membrane by analyzing all parameters such as kinetics, thermodynamic equilibria, and morphology.

Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are widely distributed in the environment and are toxic, even at low concentrations. In this study, we first used hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) to enrich POPs, based on solid phase microextraction (SPME). The HOF called PFC-1 (self-assembled by 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxylphenyl)pyrene) has an ultra-high specific surface area, excellent thermochemical stability, and abundant functional groups, making it potential to be an excellent coating in SPME. And the as-prepared PFC-1 fiber have demonstrated outstanding enrichment abilities for nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) and POPs. Furthermore, the PFC-1 fiber was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to develop an ultrasensitive and practical analytical method with wide linearity (0.2-200 ng·L-1), low detection limits for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) (0.070-0.082 ng·L-1) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (0.030-0.084 ng·L-1), good repeatability (6.7-9.9%), and satisfactory reproducibility (4.1-8.2%). Trace concentrations of OCPs and PCBs in drinking water, tea beverage, and tea were also determined precisely with the proposed analytical method.

Abstract
In this work, a boronate affinity-functionalized hierarchical mesoporous metal-organic framework adsorbent with boronate sites only in the small mesopore has been structured based on UiO-66@Fe3O4. The introduction of large mesopores in the adsorbent can promote the diffusion of small cis-diol-containing compounds (cis-diols) into small mesopore channels, and the removal of the adsorption sites on the external surface of materials and in large mesopores can enhance the size-exclusion effect of the adsorbent. In addition, the adsorbent has faster adsorption kinetics and excellent selectivity to small cis-diols. Finally, a magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was established for the enrichment and detection of nucleotides in plasma. Four nucleotides achieve the recoveries from 93.25 to 118.79%, the limits of detection from 0.35 to 1.26 ng·mL-1, and the intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations of less than 10.2%. In conclusion, this method can be directly used for the detection of small cis-diol targets in complex biological samples without protein precipitation prior to the extraction.

Abstract
Swellable Core Technology (SCT) tablets, a solid oral dosage formulation designed for the controlled release of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), are made up of two distinct layers; an active layer containing the active ingredient (10-30%wt) and up to 90%wt polyethylene oxide (PEO); and a sweller layer which contains up to 65%wt PEO. The objective of this study was to develop a process to remove PEO from analytical test solutions and optimize API recovery using physicochemical properties of the API. Quantitation of PEO was performed by liquid chromatography (LC) using an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). This was used to build an understanding of removal of PEO using solid-phase extraction and liquid-liquid extraction techniques. A workflow was proposed to allow efficient development of analytical methods for SCT tablets with optimized sample clean-up.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 870:161840. [PMID: 36716883 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The synergistic effect of high microporosity and abundant heteroatoms is important for improving the performance of biochar in various fields. However, it is still challenging to create enough micropores for biochar, while simultaneously retaining the heteroatoms from biomass. A series of biochar with variable microstructures was successfully prepared by carbonization and following ball milling on lotus pedicel (LP), watermelon rind (WR), and litchi rind (LR). The pore structures and heteroatoms of biochar were characterized in detail. Notably, high microporosity could be realized by the carbonization of LR, and further ball milling resulted in a higher microporous surface area (1323.4 m2·g-1) and richer oxygen. Furthermore, the obtained biochar was fabricated as solid phase microextraction (SPME) coatings with uniform morphologies and similar thicknesses to deeply investigate the relationships between the microstructures and extraction performance. The best performance was demonstrated by the LR800BM, with enrichment factors from 1780 to 155,217. Finally, it was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to develop an analytical method with a wide linear range (1-50,000 ng·L-1), low limits of detection (0.10-1.4 ng·L-1), good repeatability (0.83 %-7.5 %) and reproducibility (4.2 %-8.9 %). This work provides valuable insights into the structure-performance relationship of biochar, which is important for the design of high-performance biochar-based adsorbents and their applications in the environment.
