Abstract
Sulfonylurea herbicides (SUHs) are widely used in agriculture because of their low dosage, low cost, and high selectivity. However, due to improper use and lack of effective management, their residues pose a threat to the human health through environment and food pollution. Therefore, there is a need for simple, quick, economical, and effective methods to analyze SUHs in plant-derived foods, crops, and environmental samples. The present article presents a comprehensive review of the pretreatment and analytical technologies used for SUHs in various sample matrices, focusing on the developments since 2010. The main pretreatment methods include liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, QuEChERS, and different microextraction methods, whereas analytical methods mainly include liquid chromatography coupled with different detectors, capillary electrophoresis, among others. In addition, the present study also compared the advantages and disadvantages of the methods and the future development is prospected.

J Sep Sci 2022; 45:1746-1756. [PMID: 35218314 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202200055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
An amino-functionalized magnetic covalent organic framework composite TpBD-(NH2 )2 @Fe3 O4 (Tp=Tp1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol, BD-(NH2 )2 is 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetramine) was prepared by post-synthesis modification. Due to its abundant benzene rings and amino groups, large specific surface area and porous structure, the prepared TpBD-(NH2 )2 @Fe3 O4 exhibits high extraction efficiency toward sulfonylurea herbicides. Based on this, a new method of magnetic solid-phase extraction with TpBD-(NH2 )2 @Fe3 O4 as the sorbent combined with high-performance liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection was developed for trace analysis of sulfonylurea herbicides in environmental water, soil and tobacco leaves samples from tobacco land. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection within 0.05-0.14 μg/L were achieved with a high enrichment factor of 217-260-fold, and the relative standard deviations were 4.9-7.5% (n = 7, c = 0.5 μg/L). The linear range was around three orders of magnitude with the square of correlation coefficient higher than 0.9936. The method was applied to analyze five sulfonylurea herbicides in the environmental water, soil, and tobacco leave samples collected from tobacco land. No sulfonylurea herbicides were detected in these samples. The recoveries of target sulfonylurea herbicides in spiked environmental water, soil, and tobacco leaf samples were found in the range of 90.7-104, 70.7-99.0, and 59.3-97.8%, respectively. The results illustrate that the established TpBD-(NH2 )2 @Fe3 O4 -magnetic solid-phase extraction- high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection method is efficient for the analysis of trace sulfonylurea herbicides in environmental samples.

Abstract
Agrochemicals, which are crucial to meet the world food qualitative and quantitative demand, are compounds used to kill pests (insects, fungi, rodents, or unwanted plants). Regrettably, there are some important issues associated with their widespread and extensive use (e.g., contamination, bioaccumulation, and development of pest resistance); thus, a reduced and more controlled use of agrochemicals and thorough detection in food, water, soil, and fields are necessary. In this regard, the development of new functional materials for the efficient application, detection, and removal of agrochemicals is a priority. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with exceptional sorptive, recognition capabilities, and catalytical properties have very recently shown their potential in agriculture. This Review emphasizes the recent advances in the use of MOFs in agriculture through three main views: environmental remediation, controlled agrochemical release, and detection of agrochemicals.

Switchable hydrophilic solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of four types of sulfonylurea herbicides in soils.

Abstract
In this study, switchable hydrophilic solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for the determination of four sulfonylurea herbicides in soils. For the first time, the sample pretreatment was achieved due to the similar acid-base status of sulfonylurea herbicides and switchable hydrophilic solvent. In the extraction step, sulfonylurea herbicides were extracted as anions and transferred to an alkaline solution with switchable hydrophilic solvent anions. In the concentration step, two types of anions were transformed to their molecular state after the aqueous solution was acidified. In addition, the dispersion and microextraction processes were completed efficiently with the simultaneous formation of analytes and extractants. The factors affecting the extraction performance were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, good linearity was observed for each herbicide with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9952 to 0.9978. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.1-0.2 μg/g. Moreover, the relative recoveries of the sulfonylurea herbicides at spiking levels of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 μg/g in soil samples were between 75 and 111% (relative standard deviations: 0.4-11.4%). Therefore, the proposed method in this study could be successfully applied to the analysis of four types of sulfonylurea herbicides in soil samples.

Abstract
Magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) based on molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MINs) has attracted wide attention in sample pretreatment because it combines the merits of high selectivity and quick extraction procedures. However, laborious, time and solvent-consuming steps were involved in the synthesis of magnetic imprinted particles in existing approaches. To circumvent this dilemma, a green and rapid "one-pot" strategy was proposed to prepare MINs. Halosulfuron-methyl (HSM) was selected as a template molecule, and Gaussian 09 simulation software was employed to screen the 2,4,6-trivinylboroxin pyridine complex (TBP) as a functional monomer. Subsequently, the fabrication was simply conducted using a hydrothermal approach by mixing self-assembly solution of TBP-HSM, Fe3+, Fe2+, dimethyl sulfoxide, and azobisisobutyronitrile in one-pot with a total reaction time of 3.0 h. Various characterized results well evidenced the successful imprint of HSM and the resultant HSM-MINs presented satisfying superparamagnetism and saturation magnetism. Under the optimized parameters, the obtained HSM-MINs displayed good recognition capability and selectivity toward HSM (recognition coefficient was 2.60), as well as a satisfactory saturation adsorption capacity (1781 μg/g). The quantification of sulfonylurea herbicides at trace levels in environmental water and soil samples was selected as a paradigm to demonstrate the practicality and reliability of HSM-MINs/MSPE. The present study provides a convenient, reliable, and green approach for fabricating a magnetic molecular-imprinting adsorbent for MSPE.

Preparation of molecularly imprinted polymer with class-specific recognition for determination of 29 sulfonylurea herbicides in agro-products. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1647:462143.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinting polymers with high selectivity toward 29 sulfonylurea herbicides were synthesized by precipitation polymerization, using metsulfuron-methyl and chlorsulfuron as the template molecule, 4-vinylpyridine as the function monomer, divinylbenzene as the crosslinking agent, and acetonitrile as porogen. The imprinted polymers were characterized and measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and equilibrium adsorption experiments. The molecularly imprinted polymers displayed specific recognition for the tested 29 sulfonylurea herbicides, and the maximum apparent binding capacity was found to be 18.81 mg/g. The synthesized polymer was used as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) column coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for determination of the tested analytes in agro-products. Within the range of 2-100 μg/L, the tested analytes have achieved a good linear association with correlation coefficient (R2) > 0.999. The calculated limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) as along with limits of quantification (LOQs, S/N=10) were in the ranges of 0.005-0.07 μg/L and 0.018-0.23 μg/L, respectively. Under different spiking levels, the recovery rates were ranged from 74.8% - 110.5%, and the relative standard deviation (RSDs) were < 5.3%. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed methodology was successfully applied for detection of sulfonylurea herbicides in crops, vegetables, and oils samples.

Abstract
This work proposes a novel Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method in combination with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of sulfonylurea residues in edible seeds. The chromatographic separation of nine sulfonylureas was accomplished in less than 5.5 min, using a Luna Omega C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.6 µm). Mobile phase was supplied at 0.55 mL min-1 and consisted of 0.01% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid as eluent A and a mixture methanol/acetonitrile (80/20, v/v) as eluent B. Column temperature was established at 25 °C. A QuEChERS procedure was investigated as sample treatment for sulfonylureas extraction and sample clean-up. Different clean-up agents (i.e. PSA, Z-Sep+, EMR-Lipid and C18) were evaluated, selecting Z-Sep+ (25 mg) as the best option. The proposed method provided an extraction efficiency greater than 86.2%, while absolute matrix effect was lower than 50.1%. Matrix-matched calibration curves were required for analyte quantification. The analytical method was characterized according to SANTE/11813/2017 guideline, and including limits of detection and quantification, precision, and trueness. Linear dynamic ranges were established from 5 to 150 µg kg-1 for all analytes. Linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9974) and precision in terms of repeatability and intermediate precision (relative standard deviation ≤ 14.7%) are reported. The reporting limit was established at 5 µg kg-1, which is above the limits of quantification of the proposed method (≤ 1.64 µg kg-1) and below the maximum residue levels currently established by European legislation. In general, trueness is within the range of 70-120%. Despite greater recoveries were obtained at the reporting limit (i.e. 120-138%), relative standard deviations lower than 20% were obtained at this concentration level, so fulfilling the requirements of SANTE/11813/2017 guideline. This work represents the first analytical method intended for the analysis of sulfonylureas in sunflower, pumpkin and chia seeds, which are complex matrices due to their high content of fat as well as of growing interest due to their current commercialization as nutraceuticals.
