Abstract
Herein, a novel poly(2-mercaptobenzothiazole) coated magnetic nanoadsorbent derived from zeolitic-imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) was synthesized and then employed for the extraction/preconcentration of trace amounts of palladium and silver in various real matrixes. In this way, magnetite was fabricated first, and then functionalized with tetraethyl orthosilicate. After that, the synthesized magnetite@silica was coated with the ZIF-8 to obtain magnetic ZIF-8. Afterward, the magnetic ZIF-8 was pyrolyzed under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere to get a magnetic carbon nanoadsorbent. Finally, the magnetic carbon was functionalized with a conductive polymer (poly-2-mercaptobenzothiazole). Fabrication of the nanoadsorbent was affirmed with scanning and transmission electron microscopies, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The method is linear from 0.25 to 200 μg L-1 for silver, and from 0.5 to 250 μg L-1 for palladium. The detection limits are 0.07 and 0.15 μg L-1 for Ag and Pd, respectively. The precision was evaluated at three concentration levels (1, 75, 200 μg L-1, n = 5) and all the relative standard deviation (RSD) values were lower than 10.3%. In the end, the new method was utilized for the preconcentration/determination of trace amounts of palladium and silver in various real matrixes, satisfactorily (relative recovery: 86% to 104%; RSD%: 4.0-9.5%).

Abstract
Due to the unique properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), they have attracted great research attention as an emergent technology in many applications including water and wastewater treatment. However, raw CNTs have few functional groups, which limits their use in heavy metal removal. Nevertheless, their removal properties can be improved by oxidation processes that modify its surface. In this study, we assessed the capacity of oxidized and double-oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to remove heavy metals ions from acidic solutions. The MWCNTs were tested for copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) removal, which showed an increment of 79%, 78%, and 48%, respectively, with double-oxidized MWCNTs compared to oxidized MWCNTs. Moreover, the increase in pH improved the sorption capacity for all the tested metals, which indicates that the sorption potential is strongly dependent on the pH. The kinetic adsorption process for three metals can be described well with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Additionally, in multimetallic waters, the sorption capacity decreases due to the competition between metals, and it was more evident in the removal of Zn, while Cu was less affected. Besides, XPS analysis showed an increase in oxygen-containing groups on the MWCNTs surface after oxidation. Finally, these analyses showed that the chemical interactions between heavy metals and oxygen-containing groups are the main removal mechanism. Overall, these results contribute to a better understanding of the potential use of CNTs for water treatment.

Abstract
A new selective and sensitive optical sensor based on the incorporation of new synthesized N'-(2-hydroxy-5-iodobenzylidene) isonicotinohydrazide (HIBIN) as an effective reagent into the nanoporous of a transparent glass like material through the sol-gel process was developed which was suitable for the determination of copper (II) ions in aqueous solutions. The thin film sensors were constructed by spin-coating of prepared sol onto glass plate and their surface morphology were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) technique. Influence of sonication time on immobilization of HIBIN into silica matrix was investigated through calculation of leaching percentage. The Results shown that sonication time of 35 min is suitable to give more stable thin films without fluctuation in sensitivity and response time of presented sensor for a long period of time. The proposed optical sensor can be used for determination of copper (II) ions in the range of 9.1 × 10-8-1.12 × 10-5 mol L-1with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10-8 mol L-1. It also showed relative standard deviation 3.4 and 0.72% for reproducibility and repeatability respectively, along with a fast response time about of 2 min. The constructed optode is stable in wet conditions and could be stored for at least 6 weeks without observing any change in its sensitivity. The developed sensor was successfully applied to the determination of copper (II) in fruit juice and water samples which results were confirmed by atomic absorption spectrometry method.

Abstract
Graphene is a new carbon-based material that is of interest in separation science. Graphene has extraordinary properties including nano size, high surface area, thermal and chemical stability, and excellent adsorption affinity to pollutants. Its adsorption mechanisms are through non-covalent interactions (π-π stacking, electrostatic interactions, and H-bonding) for organic compounds and covalent interactions for metal ions. These properties have led to graphene-based material becoming a desirable adsorbent in a popular sample preparation technique known as solid phase extraction (SPE). Numerous studies have been published on graphene applications in recent years, but few review papers have focused on its applications in analytical chemistry. This article focuses on recent preconcentration of trace elements, organic compounds, and biological species using SPE-based graphene, graphene oxide, and their modified forms. Solid phase microextraction and micro SPE (µSPE) methods based on graphene are discussed.

Abstract
A new approach was developed for the preconcentration of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in artificial saliva extract of dry snuff (brown and black) products using temperature-controlled ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (TIL-UDLLμE) followed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The Cd and Ni were complexed with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC), extracted in ionic liquid drops, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4MIM][PF6]. The multivariate strategy was applied to estimate the optimum values of experimental variables influence the % recovery of analytes by TIL-UDLLμE method. At optimum experimental conditions, the limit of detection (3s) were 0.05 and 0.14μgL(-1) while relative standard deviations (% RSD) were 3.97 and 3.55 for Cd and Ni respectively. After extraction, the enhancement factors (EF) were 87 and 79 for Cd and Ni, respectively. The RSD for six replicates of 10μgL(-1) Cd and Ni were 3.97% and 3.55% respectively. To validate the proposed method, certified reference material (CRM) of Virginia tobacco leaves was analyzed, and the determined values of Cd and Ni were in good agreement with the certified values. The concentration of Cd and Ni in artificial saliva extracts corresponds to 39-52% and 21-32%, respectively, of the total contents of both elements in dry brown and black snuff products.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive solid phase extraction (SPE) method on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is presented for the determination of cadmium, lead, nickel, copper, and zinc at trace levels combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The effects of parameters like pH, sample volume, sample and eluent flow rates, eluent concentration, and volume and type of eluent on the recovery of trace elements was examined. The metals retained on the nanotube at pH 6.5 as α-benzoin oxime complexes were eluted by 10 mL 2 M HNO3 in acetone. The influence of matrix ions on the developed method was also evaluated. The preconcentration factor of the method was found to be 50. The detection limits for Cd(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) were found as 1.7, 5.5, 6.0, 2.3, and 2.4 μg L(-1), respectively. To test the accuracy of the method, the method was applied to TMDA-70 fortified lake water and Spinach 1570A standard reference materials. Addition recovery studies were applied to tap water and cracked wheat samples, and determination of the analyte elements was carried out in some food samples with good results.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of anthropogenic activities on soil quality using the land snail Helix aspersa as a bioindicator. Soil samples and snails were collected from several sites in Northeast Algeria during the summer and winter of 2010. All of the sites were chosen due to their proximity to industrial factories-a potential source of soil pollution via heavy metal contamination. The concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Mn, and Fe) in soil samples was analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Activity levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), indicators of oxidative stress and neurotoxicity, respectively, were measured in snails collected from each site. GST and AChE activity were found to vary between sites and by season. The highest levels of GST activity were registered during the summer at sites closest to potential sources of pollution. AChE activity levels also peaked during the summer with the highest values recorded at the site in El Hadjar. These increased levels of bioindicative stress response correlated with increasing metal concentration in soil samples collected at each site.

Abstract
There is an increasing likelihood of interactions between nanomaterials and munitions constituents in the environment resulting from the use of nanomaterials as additives to energetic formulations and potential contact in waste streams from production facilities and runoff from training ranges. The purpose of the present research was to determine the ability of nano-aluminum oxide (Al(2)O(3)) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to adsorb the munitions constituents cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and tungsten (W) from aqueous solution as a first step in determining the long-term exposure, transport, and bioavailability implications of such interactions. The results indicate significant adsorption of RDX by MWCNTs and of W by nano-Al(2)O(3) (but not between W and MWCNT or RDX and nano-Al(2)O(3)). Kinetic sorption and desorption investigations indicated that the most sorption occurs nearly instantaneously (<5 min), with a relatively slower, secondary binding leading to statistically significant but relatively smaller increases in adsorption over 30 d. The RDX sorption that occurred during the initial interaction was irreversible, with long-term, reversible sorption likely the result of a secondary interaction; as interaction time increased, however, the portion of W irreversibly sorbed onto nano-Al(2)O(3) also increased. The present study shows that strong interactions between some munitions constituents and nanomaterials following environmental release are likely. Time-dependent binding has implications for the bioavailability, migration, transport, and fate of munitions constituents in the environment.

Abstract
A rapid and innovative microextraction technique named as, ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted dual magnetic microextraction (IL-UA-DMME) was developed for the preconcentration and extraction of trace cadmium from environmental and biological samples, prior to analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The proposed method has many obvious advantages, including evading the use of organic solvents and achieved high extraction yields by the combination of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and magnetic mediated-solid phase extraction (MM-SPE). In this approach ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4mim][PF6] play an important role to extract the cadmium-4-(2-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol (Cd-TAR) complex from acid digested sample solutions and ultrasonic irradiation was applied to assist emulsification. After then, dispersed small amount of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in sample solutions to salvaged the IL and complete phase separation was attained. Some analytical parameters that influencing the efficiency of proposed (IL-UA-DMME) method, such as pH, volume of IL, ligand concentration, ultra-sonication time, amount of Fe3O4 MNPs, sample volume and matrix effect were optimized. Limit of detection (LOD) and enrichment factor (EF) of the method under optimal experimental conditions were found to be 0.40μgL(-1) and 100, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of 50μgL(-1) Cd was 4.29%. The validity and accuracy of proposed method, was assessed to analyzed certified reference materials of fortified lake water TMDA-54.4, SPS-WW2 waste water, spinach leaves 1570a and also checked by standard addition method. The obtained values showed good agreement with the certified values and sufficiently high recovery were found in the range of 98.1-101% for Cd. The proposed method was facile, rapid and successfully applied for the determination of Cd in environmental and different biological samples.
