An ICT-based highly fluorescent isoquinoline scaffold for selective Hg(II) detection in real-water samples: Development of a smart, low-cost RGB-Arduino electronic platform. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 309:123812. [PMID: 38154309 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Selective detection and quantification of Hg2+ ions is crucial to minimize health and environmental risks. Fluorescent organic small-molecule probes have been expeditiously utilized owing to their unique set of improved properties. However, isoquinoline core has not been extensively explored as a fluorescence platform partly due to synthetic challenges. Herein, a serendipitously discovered synthetic route to access a small yet highly functionalized novel isoquinoline-based probe, IQ is reported. The synthesis is achieved through the in-situ generation of ammonia, followed by intermolecular [5C + 1 N] aza-annulation reaction with a ketendithioacetal-based precursor, P-IQ. IQ displayed excellent recognition ability towards Hg2+ ions in H2O:ACN (99:1, v/v) via ICT-off fluorescent quenching behavior. Comparative FT-IR, 1H/13C NMR, mass spectral studies, and DFT analyses were carried out to validate the suggested mechanisms. Reversible studies confirm the secondary recognition effect of in-situ generated (IQ + Hg2+) complex on cysteine. The binding constant and LOD were estimated to be 3.7 × 104 M-1 and 0.86 µM, respectively. Further, IQ was utilized to evaluate the mercury ion content in real water samples demonstrating its effectiveness in water quality monitoring. The practical utility of IQ was further explored by developing TLC strips, Whatman filter-paper strips, and a low-cost, portable Arduino-based platform. Arduino microcontroller is interfaced with an RGB sensor to detect color changes and quantify mercury concentration w.r.t. RGB values.

Abstract
Accurate detection and screening of Pb in biological samples is helpful to assess the risk associated with lead pollution to human health. However, conventional atomic spectroscopic instruments are bulky and cumbersome, requiring additional sample pretreatment equipment, and difficult to perform field analysis with. Herein, a portable point discharge (PD) microplasma-optical emission spectrometric (OES) device with online digestion function is designed for field and sensitive determination of lead in biological samples. With rice as a model, online digestion of a batch of six 50 mg samples can be achieved in the HNO3 and H2O2 system within 25 min by a temperature control and timing module. Compared to the conventional microwave digestion, the digestion efficiency of this device reaches 97%. Pb in digestion solution is converted into volatile species by hydride generation (HG) and directly introduced into PD-OES for excitation and detection by a self-designed rotatable and telescopic cutoff gas sampling column. Six samples can be successively detected in 2 min, and argon consumption of the whole process is only <800 mL. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of Pb is 0.018 mg kg-1 (0.9 μg L-1) and precision is 3.6%. The accuracy and practicability of the present device are verified by measuring several certified reference materials and real biological samples. By virtue of small size (23.5 × 17 × 8.5 cm3), lightweight (2.5 kg), and low energy consumption (24.3 W), the present device provides a convenient tool for field analysis of toxic elements in biological samples.

Abstract
The development of environmental analysis devices with high performance is essential to assess the potential risks of environmental pollutants. However, it is still challenging to develop environmental analysis equipment with miniaturization, portability, and high sensitivity based on traditional processing techniques. In recent years, the popularity of 3D printing technology (3DP) with high precision, low cost, and unlimited design freedom has provided opportunities to solve the existing challenges of environmental analysis. 3D printing has brought solutions to promote the high performance and versatility of environmental analysis equipment by optimizing printing materials, enhancing equipment structure, and integrating multidisciplinary technology. In this paper, we comprehensively review the latest progress in 3D printing in various aspects of environmental analysis procedures, including but not limited to sample collection, pretreatment, separation, and detection. We highlight their advantages and challenges in determining various environmental contaminants through passive sampling, solid-phase extraction, chromatographic separation, and mass spectrometry detection. The manufacturing of 3D-printed environmental analysis devices is also discussed. Finally, we look forward to their development prospects and challenges.

Abstract
In this work, a portable chemical vapor generation point discharge optical emission spectrometry (CVG-PD-OES) system was designed for trace Hg2+ monitoring in mung bean sprout samples. The system incorporated selective solid phase extraction (SPE) to enhance the detection sensitivity. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared and utilized to extract trace amounts of Hg2+ by forming gold amalgam. Subsequently, the amalgam was desorbed using 5% HCl and introduced into a low-power PD-OES system analysis via CVG. A low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.16 ng mL-1 was obtained with a linear range of 0.5-6 ng mL-1. The well-designed system was successfully utilized for monitoring trace Hg2+ in the growth of mung beans. The results indicated that the Hg2+ in mung bean sprouts was continuously decreased during growth based on the metabolism. Furthermore, the risk assessment conducted implied a negligible hazard quotient, suggesting that the observed levels of exposure posed minimal risk.

Abstract
It is still a challenge to accurately determine dissolved sulfide due to its susceptibility to contamination and loss during transportation, storage, and analysis in the laboratory, thus highlighting the necessity for its sensitive field analysis. Herein, a robust nozzle electrode point discharge (NEPD) enhanced oxidation coupling with chemical vapor generation (CVG) is described for the highly efficient and flameless conversion of sulfide (S2-) to SO2. Subsequently, a portable and low-power consumption gas phase molecular fluorescence spectrometry (GP-MFS) was constructed for the highly selective and sensitive determination of the generated SO2 via detecting its molecular fluorescence excited by a zinc hollow cathode lamp. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 μM was obtained for dissolved sulfide with a relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 11) of 2.6%. The accuracy and practicability of the proposed method were validated by the analyses of two certified reference materials (CRMs) and several river and lake water samples with satisfactory recoveries of 99%-107%. This work confirms that NEPD enhanced oxidation is a low energy consumption yet highly efficient method for the flameless oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and thus is suitable for the easy field detection of dissolved sulfide in environmental water by CVG-GP-MFS.

Abstract
At present, immediate monitoring urinary arsenic is still a challenge for treating arsenic poisoning patients. Thus, a fast, reliable and accurate analytical approach is indispensable to monitor ultratrace arsenic in urine sample for health warning. In this work, a silicon nitride (SN) rod was first integrally utilized as a sample carrier for ≤50 μL urinary aliquot, an electric heater for removing water and ashing sample as well as a high voltage electrode for dielectric barrier discharge vaporization (DBDV). The direct analytical method of arsenic in urine without sample digestion was thus developed using atomic fluorescence spectrometer (AFS) as a model detector. After 4 V electrically heating the SN rod for 60 s, urine sample was dehydrated and ashed outside; then, DBD was exerted under 0.8 A with 0.8 L/min H2 + Ar (1:9, v:v) for 20 s to vaporize arsenic analyte from the SN rod. After optimization, 0.014 μg/L arsenic detection limit (LOD) was reached with favorable analytical precision (RSD <5%) and accuracy (91-110% recoveries) for real sample analysis. As a result, the whole analysis process only consumes <3 min to exclude complicated sample preparation; furthermore, the designed DBDV system only occupies 25 W and <2 kg, which renders a miniature sampling component to hyphenate with a miniature detector to detect arsenic. Thus, this direct sampling DBDV method extremely fulfills the fast, sensitive and precise detection of ultratrace arsenic in urine sample.

Abstract
A new compact tandem excitation source was designed and constructed by using an array point discharge (ArrPD) microplasma for a miniaturized optical emission spectrometer through coupling a hydride generation (HG) unit as a sample introduction device. Three pairs of point discharges were arranged in sequence in a narrow discharge chamber to construct the ArrPD microplasma, for improved excitation capability owing to the serial excitation. Besides, the discharge plasma region was greatly enlarged, therefore, more gaseous analytes could be intercepted to enter into the microplasma for sufficient excitation, for improved excitation efficiency and OES signal. To better understand the effectiveness of the proposed ArrPD source, a new instrument for simultaneous detection of atomic emission and absorption spectral responses was also proposed, designed, and constructed to reveal the excitation and enhancement process in the discharge chamber. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) of As, Ge, Hg, Pb, Sb, Se, and Sn were 0.7, 0.4, 0.05, 0.7, 0.3, 2, and 0.08 μg L-1, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were all less than 4%. Compared with a commonly used single point discharge microplasma source, the analytical sensitivities of these seven elements were improved by 3-6-fold. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) were successfully analyzed with this miniaturized spectrometer, which features low power, compactness, portability, and high detectability, and is thereby a great prospect in the field of elemental analytical chemistry.

Abstract
A compact tandem excitation source-in-source was designed by arranging a point discharge (PD) ignited in argon/hydrogen (Ar/H2) flame and utilized for boosted excitation for the optical emission of chromium. Through a tungsten coil (W-coil) electrothermal vaporizer (ETV) located right under the tandem source without any interface for sample introduction, a miniaturized optical emission spectrometer was realized. Because the discharge gaseous atmosphere of PD was activated in the flame, the energy consumption of PD for breaking down discharge gas and maintenance of plasma was greatly saved. In addition, the flame could partially atomize or keep the atomized state of analyte atoms through its reducing environment. Therefore, the excitation capability of the tandem source was greatly improved, owing to the synergistic effect of PD microplasma and Ar/H2 flame. In addition, part of the analyte was atomized/excited on the W-coil, and thereby, dry, pure, and activated analyte species were released from the W-coil and swept into the tandem source for atomization/excitation. Through the collective effect of W-coil ETV, Ar/H2 flame, and PD microplasma, analytical sensitivity for Cr was greatly enhanced. Under the optimized conditions, with 10 μL sample solution, a limit of detection of 1.5 μg L-1 and a relative standard deviation of 3.6% (20 μg L-1, n = 5) were achieved. Its accuracy was demonstrated by successful analysis of several certified reference materials. Owing to the advantages including high sensitivity, compactness, and cost effectiveness, it is promising to facilitate the miniaturized spectrometer for more elements and potential field analytical chemistry.

Abstract
Due to the large size and high energy consumption of instruments, field elemental speciation analysis is still challenging so far. In this work, a portable and compact system device (230 mm length × 38 mm width × 84 mm height) was fabricated by using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology for the field speciation analyses of mercury and inorganic selenium. The device comprises a cold vapor generator, photochemical vapor generator, and miniaturized point discharge optical emission spectrometer (μPD-OES). For mercury, inorganic mercury (IHg) was selectively reduced to Hg0 by cold vapor generation, whereas the reductions of both IHg and methylmercury (MeHg) were obtained by photochemical vapor generation (PVG) in the presence of formic acid. For selenium, Se(IV) and total inorganic selenium were converted to their volatile species by PVG in the presence and the absence of nano-TiO2, respectively. The generated volatile species were consequently detected by μPD-OES. Limits of detection of MeHg, IHg, Se(IV), and Se(VI) were 0.1, 0.1, 5.2, and 3.5 μg L-1, respectively. Precision expressed as the relative standard deviations (n = 11) were better than 4.5%. The accuracy and practicality of the proposed method were evaluated by the analyses of Certified Reference Materials (DORM-4, DOLT-5, and GBW(E)080395) and several environmental water samples with satisfactory recoveries (95-103%). This work confirms that 3D printing has great potential to fabricate a simple, miniaturized, easy-to-operate, and low gas and power consuming atomic spectrometer for field elemental speciation analysis.

Abstract
A fast, low-cost and sensitive method for the determination of trace cadmium was developed by using a miniaturized dielectric barrier discharge microplasma atomic emission spectrometer coupled with a tungsten coil (W-coil) for on-line hydride generation trapping-electrothermal vaporization. Total sample throughput can be greatly improved through the adoption of a horizontally fixed W-coil and the flow injection mode. In addition, the horizontally fixed W-coil and an inserted quartz capillary for on-line trapping contributed to stable and good signal even at a high gas flow rate when volatile cadmium species were trapped, and less sample-consuming and time-saving can be realized in this work. Compared to direct injection, the sensitivity and the LOD were improved by 29- and 38-fold, respectively. The proposed method provides a promising approach to develop a miniaturized instrumentation for highly sensitive detection of trace elements.

Abstract
In this work, a novel method using low-cost miniaturized hydride generation optical emission spectrometry equipment coupled with an in situ dielectric barrier discharge trap (HG-in situ DBD trap-OES) was established for the determination of As in edible seaweed samples. An improved peak volume algorithm, where the start time point and end time point of the spectrum at each concentration are determined according to the unified judgment criteria, was first proposed to extend the linear range from 1-100 μg L-1 to 1-200 μg L-1, and increase the sensitivity by about 30%. In addition, a modification was done on the DBD implementation, providing an enhancement of sensitivity by a factor of about 4 for As. All in all the detection limit (LOD) was improved from 0.5 μg L-1 to 0.2 μg L-1. By applying the method to seaweed samples, a method detection limit (MD) of 0.25 mg kg-1 was achieved, with less than 3% relative standard deviations (RSDs). The calibration linearity reached R2 > 0.990 in the 1.25-250 mg kg-1 range. Results obtained by the proposed method showed good agreement with that of certified reference materials (CRMs), and spiked recoveries were 103% to 114%, indicating favorable accuracy. The proposed method is attractive in terms of instrumentation size (0.6 m × 0.5 m × 0.3 m), power consumption (<60 W), manufacturing cost, and gas consumption (300 measurements for 4 L compressed Ar/H2 gas), and therefore more advantageous than conventional atomic spectrometric methods.

Abstract
The construction of a dispersive optical spectrometer using three-dimensional (3D) design software and printing, without applying any optical adjustments, its validation, and application to quantification of ethanol in multiproduct liquids, is the objective of this work. A 3D design software was used to design a near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer in the region from 800 to 1600 nm from the dimensions of commercially available optical components. The project was printed on a polymer filament 3D printer, and the components were fitted to the printed part. Software calculations using the model design parameters were applied to attribute the wavelength values to the abscissa axis in the spectra and estimate errors due to 3D printing limitations. The alignment of the spectrum was proven using the chloroform absorbance spectrum, which presented a maximum mispositioning of 4.1 nm concerning the literature data and effective bandwidths equivalent to commercial instruments. The 3D-printed instrument was applied to quantify ethanol in samples of cachaça, rum, beer, brandy, whiskey, vodka, mouth wash, alcohol gel, and commercial alcohol solutions. Partial least-squares regression models were built for the 3D-printed instrument and two commercial NIR instruments, the MPA II (Bruker) and the NIR DLP NIRscan (Texas Instruments), using a group of 180 standards. The three instruments reached excellent predictive capability with similar root mean square error of cross-validation (2.36-2.68) and prediction (2.31-2.87). The correlation coefficient of cross-validation and prediction for all models were between 0.97 and 0.98. The results show the feasibility of building a 3D-printed dispersive spectrometer ready for application with the simple docking of the optics, presenting acceptable accuracy to the project design concerning the printing limitations.

Abstract
A tungsten coil (W-coil) as an electrothermal vaporizer (ETV) was interface-free integrated with a point discharge (PD) microplasma as an excitation source for a miniaturized optical emission spectrometer (OES). The PD microplasma and the W-coil ETV were vertically arranged in one quartz tube, and the W-coil was directly placed just under the PD without any physical interface. Working gas flow could sweep them successively to carry analytes released from the W-coil to the PD microplasma, and exhaust out of the quartz tube. The W-coil firstly acted as an ETV for sampling, on which pipetted with a tiny amount of sample solution (typically 10 μL), followed by a heating program for eliminating sample moisture and matrix. Vapor of analytes was subsequently released from the W-coil at a high temperature and immediately swept into the PD microplasma for excitation of atoms to obtain their optical emission spectra. Due to the high temperature of the W-coil, the released analyte species from the W-coil probably had been already atomized/excited partly and partially maintained prior to entering into the PD microplasma, thus saving the energy in the PD for sample evaporation and dissociation. In other words, the W-coil indirectly provided extra energy to the PD microplasma, thus its excitation capability was intensified. Under optimal experimental conditions, simultaneous determination of Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, In, Pb, Sb and Zn was achieved, with LODs of 0.6, 45, 40, 0.08, 15, 8, 8, 41 and 5 μg L-1, respectively, and RSDs all less than 4.5% (n = 3, at corresponding concentrations of 5, 250, 250, 0.5, 100, 50, 50, 250 and 25 μg L-1). The accuracy validation of the proposed technique was demonstrated by successfully analyzing Certified Reference Materials (CRMs, including water, soil, stream sediment and biological samples), and preliminarily analyzing one CRM with direct slurry injection, both with satisfactory results, which had no significant difference with the certificated values at a confidence level of 95% by t-test.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive method for the determination of Pb was developed by coupling solution anode glow discharge-optical emission spectrometry (SAGD-OES) with hydride generation (HG). Compared to solution cathode glow discharge, the introduction of analytes yielded via HG from the discharge cathode into the microplasma was demonstrated to be easily performed by SAGD in which the gas jet nozzle served as cathode and further enhanced sensitivity for Pb determination was achieved. The susceptibility of SAGD-OES to the matrix-induced interferences in the analysis of real samples was significantly improved owing to the coupling of HG. After a thorough optimization of the HG-SAGD-OES system parameters, the developed system achieved Pb detection limit of 0.061 ng mL-1, with the corresponding relative standard deviation being <2.2% at analyte concentrations of 50 ng mL-1. The potential application of this method was validated by successfully analyzing three certified reference materials (CRMs: GBW07311, GBW07312, and GBW07601a (GSH-1)) and human blood samples.

Abstract
In this work, a portable and reliable optical emission spectrometric (OES) instrument based on solid acid hydride generation (HG) and subsequent in situ dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) preconcentration was first developed for simultaneous and field analysis of ultratrace As and Sb in environmental water. In situ DBD fulfilled both gas phase enrichment (GPE) and excitation; effective enrichment made it possible to use a low-cost charge coupled device (CCD) as detector. To simplify field protocol, solid tablet made from sulfamic acid was first used to replace hydrochloric acid for co-generation of As and Sb hydrides. Moisture interference was eliminated by carrier gas sweeping without any desiccant. After calculating peak volume for emission data handling, detection limits (LODs) were 0.5 μg L-1 for As and 0.2 μg L-1 for Sb, respectively, with <3% relative standard deviations (RSDs) at 10 μg L-1; linear dynamic ranges (R2>0.995) were 2-200 μg L-1 for As and 1-200 μg L-1 for Sb, respectively. The results agreed with certified values of CRMs and recoveries were 87-97% vs. inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The running costs can be controlled within one dollar per use. This HG-in situ DBD trap-OES scheme, with demonstrated advantages in sensitivity, low-cost, power (<60 W), size (0.6 m × 0.5 m × 0.3 m), weight (15 kg), gas consumption (300 measurements per 4 L tank), and multi-element capability, was implemented in a miniature spectrometer for field analysis.

Abstract
In this work, electromagnetic heating was firstly explored as sample introduction approach in portable microplasma-atomic emission spectrometer to achieve the direct, rapid analysis of soil sample. The device primarily consists of an electromagnetic heating unit, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) excitation source and an optical signal acquisition unit. A W-boat was used as an electromagnetic heating medium and sample carrier, and copper coil spiraled around the tube was used as magnetic induction coil. With applying a voltage on copper coil, W-boat was electromagnetically heated to vaporize analyte-containing species for sample introduction into the microplasma. The portable battery-powered device is controlled by a miniature touch screen computer with the main advantages of small size (40.5 cm (l) × 30 cm (w) × 15 cm (h).), light weight (less than 7 kg), low-power consumption (the average power consumption is 118 W). By this method, Hg, Cd and Pb in soil were simultaneously analyzed within 4 min. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection for Hg, Cd and Pb in soils were 8.0 μg/kg, 17.8 μg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg, respectively, meeting the requirements for environmental quality standards for soils of China. Different types of CRM soils were analyzed, demonstrating good accuracy, stability and utility of this method. This technique could be a promising and powerful tool for on-site, rapid analysis of heavy metals in soil even other solid samples. Electromagnetic heating mode provides a good alternative for solid sampling to develop portable, miniaturized atomic spectrometers for solid sample analysis.
