Dual sorbent coating based magnet-integrated fabric phase sorptive extraction as a front-end to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for multi-class pesticide determination in water samples. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167353. [PMID: 37769739 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Magnet-integrated fabric phase sorptive extraction (MI-FPSE) is a sample preparation technique that has proved to be a powerful tool for environmental analysis. The fabrication and application of magnet-integrated dual sorbent-based FPSE membrane prepared by combining two different sol-gel sorbent-coated disks of different polarities together with a magnetic bar inserted between the two membranes to allow the stirring, was examined as novel preparation technique that not required samples pretreatments. The dual sorbent-based sample preparation platforms (made up of poly(tetrahydrofuran) and Carbowax 20M) were used for the extraction of seven classes of pesticides from ambient surface water samples prior to their determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Initially, different single and dual sol-gel sorbent-based MI-FPSE membranes were evaluated in terms of their extraction efficiency. The MI-FPSE with dual sol-gel sorbents were found to be superior to the single-materials MI-FPSE devices in terms of extraction recovery. The main parameters affecting the MI-FPSE extraction protocol (e.g., adsorption time, sample volume, stirring rate, salt addition, eluent type, desorption time and elution volume) were investigated. The selected extraction protocol enabled detection limits in the range between 0.001 and 0.16 ng mL-1. Furthermore, good relative standard deviation values for the intra-day and inter-day repeatability studies were obtained and were lower than 5.9 and 9.9 %, respectively. The proposed method was successfully used for the multi-class analysis of environmental surface water samples.

Abstract
In this work, a method for the simultaneous determination of four resin monomers: Bisphenol A, bisphenol A methacrylate glycidate, triethyleneglycol-dimethacrylate, and urethane dimethacrylate, from human urine using magnet integrated fabric phase sorptive extraction (MI-FPSE), followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) diode array detection (HPLC-DAD), is presented. MI-FPSE is a novel configuration of FPSE that incorporates the stirring and extraction mechanism into one device, resulting in an improved extraction kinetic factor. FPSE is a green sample preparation technique that uses a flexible surface, such as cellulose, coated with a polymeric material using sol–gel technology. Poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) material was selected, due to its higher efficiency in terms of recovery rate among the studied MI-FPSE membranes. Optimization of the extraction process was performed based on several extraction and elution parameters. The method was validated for its linearity, selectivity, accuracy, precision, and stability of the samples. For the four compounds, the LOD and LOQ were 0.170 ng/μL and 0.050 ng/μL, respectively. The relative standard deviation of the method was less than 9.8% and 11.9%, for the within-day and between-day precision, respectively. The relative recoveries were between 85.6 and 105.2% in all cases, showing a good accuracy. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed through successful application to the bioanalysis of real urine samples.

Abstract
Superalloy scraps are deemed as potential unconventional sources of rare metals. In this study, an ultrasonic leaching method with a two-stage separation process was proposed. A series of Eh-pH diagrams for rare metals was constructed, and the results indicated that the leaching and separation process could be realized by adjusting the potential and pH values of leaching solutions. In the ultrasonic leaching process, results showed that the economic leaching percentages of Re, Ni, Co, Al, and Cr were 92.3%, 95.2%, 98.5%, 98.7%, and 97.5%, respectively. Compared with conventional leaching, ultrasonic leaching can improve the leaching percentages of rare metals by approximately 20%. In the two-stage separation process, the optimal recovery efficiencies of Al and Cr were 94.6% and 82.1% at a pH of 4.5, and Ni and Co were 99.5% and 98.3% at a pH of 7.5. With a two-stage precipitate process, rare metals can be efficiently recovered without generating any waste acid.

Abstract
Microorganisms such as bacteria, microalgae and fungi, are natural and rich sources of several valuable bioactive antioxidant's compounds, including carotenoids. Among the carotenoids with antioxidant properties, astaxanthin can be highlighted due to its pharmaceutical, feed, food, cosmetic and biotechnological applications. The best-known producers of astaxanthin are yeast and microalgae cells that biosynthesize this pigment intracellularly, requiring efficient and sustainable downstream procedures for its recovery. Conventional multi-step procedures usually involve the consumption of large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are regarded as toxic and hazardous chemicals. Considering these environmental issues, this review is focused on revealing the potential of unconventional extraction procedures [viz., Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), High-Pressure Homogenization (HPH)] combined with alternative green solvents (biosolvents, eutectic solvents and ionic liquids) for the recovery of microbial-based astaxanthin from microalgae (such as Haematococcus pluvialis) and yeast (such as Phaffia rhodozyma) cells. The principal advances in the area, process bottlenecks, solvent selection and strategies to improve the recovery of microbial astaxanthin are emphasized. The promising recovery yields using these environmentally friendly procedures in lab-scale are good indications and directions for their effective use in biotechnological processes for the production of commercial feed and food ingredients like astaxanthin.

Abstract
In current paper, a new advanced modification of fabric phase sorptive extraction is introduced for the first time. This advantageous configuration that integrates the stirring and extraction mechanism into a single sample preparation device was originated by equally considering the beneficial role of the increase of extraction kinetics and more specifically of diffusion on the extraction efficiency of the equilibrium based microextraction techniques and the need for integrating and unite processes for better promotion and implementation of the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. The resulted magnet integrated fabric phase sorptive extraction (MI-FPSE) device was the spearhead to develop a new analytical methodology for the determination of selected very common endocrine disrupting chemicals as model analytes in human urine by high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array analysis. More specifically, the sol-gel Carbowax 20 M coated on hydrophilic cellulose fabric substrate, MI-FPSE device was efficiently employed for the establishment of a new extraction protocol before the chromatographic determination. The sample preparation workflow was methodically optimized in terms of the elution solvent mixture, the volume of the sample, the extraction and the elution time, the stirring speed during the extraction, the ionic strength, and the pH of the sample matrix. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Spherisorb C18 column and a gradient elution program within 14 minutes. Mobile phase consisted of 0.05 ammonium acetate aqueous solution and acetonitrile. The method was validated towards linearity, sensitivity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, and stability. LOD and LOQ ranged between 1.05-1.80 and 3.5-6.0 ng/mL, while %RSD values were found lower than 9.0% in all cases. The method was efficiently applied to the bioanalysis of real samples. All the chosen EDCs were measured at high detection levels. The new MI-FPSE device has demonstrated its performance superiority as a magnet integrated stand-alone extraction device and could be considered as a significant improvement in the field of analytical/bioanalytical sample preparation.

Abstract
Dispersive microextraction techniques are key in the analytical sample treatment context as they combine a favored thermodynamics and kinetics isolation of the target analytes from the sample matrix. The dispersion of the extractant in the form of tiny particles or drops, depending on the technique, into the sample enlarges the contact surface area between phases, thus enhancing the mass transference. This dispersion can be achieved by applying external energy sources, the use of chemicals, or the combination of both strategies. Effervescence-assisted microextraction emerged in 2011 as a new alternative in this context. The technique uses in situ-generated carbon dioxide as the disperser, and it has been successfully applied in the solid-phase and liquid-phase microextraction fields. This minireview explains the main fundamentals of the technique, its potential and the main developments reported.

Abstract
In recent years, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have become an excellent solution to the selective and sensitive determination of target molecules in complex matrices where other similar and relative structural compounds could coexist. Although MIPs show the inherent properties of the polymers, including stability, robustness, and easy/cheap synthesis, some of their characteristics can be enhanced, or new functionalities can be obtained when nanoparticles are incorporated in their polymeric structure. The great variety of nanoparticles available significantly increase the possibility of finding the adequate design of nanostructured MIP for each analytical problem. Moreover, different structures (i.e., monolithic solids or MIPs micro/nanoparticles) can be produced depending on the used synthesis approach. This review aims to summarize and describe the most recent and innovative strategies since 2015, based on the combination of MIPs with nanoparticles. The role of the nanoparticles in the polymerization, as well as in the imprinting and adsorption efficiency, is also discussed through the review.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues have become a major concern worldwide as food contaminants due to the risk that they may pose to human health. The presence of these residues in food is due to improper veterinary practices. Consequently, rapid and cost-effective clean-up methods prior to analysis for these residues in food matrices are increasingly becoming necessary in order to ensure food safety. Miniaturised extraction and pre-concentration techniques have been developed as alternatives to conventional extraction procedures in recent years. Furthermore, the current trends in analytical sample preparation favour extraction techniques that comply with the principles of green analytical chemistry. Solid phase micro-extraction, stir bar sorptive extraction, stir cake sorptive extraction and fabric phase sorptive extraction methods are very promising sorbent-based sorptive micro-extraction techniques, and they are compliant to the principles of green chemistry. This review critically discusses the application of these techniques in the extraction and pre-concentration of antibiotic residues from food samples in the years 2015 to 2020.

Abstract
A new analytical method for the determination of naproxen, ketoprofen, diclofenac, carbamazepine, and triclosan (TCS) in water samples by liquid chromatography is developed and validated. The method is based on the extraction of the analytes by a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rod. The different parameters affecting extraction, such as the addition of salt, pH, initial volume, extraction and elution times and elution solvent, as well as the application of sonication, are studied. The results showed that the detection limits are all in the 0.1-0.3 µg L-1 range except for carbamazepine (6 µg L-1) with relative standard deviations in the range of 0.4%-9.7%. The method developed, which was validated by analysing spiked surface water samples at 10, 25 and 75 µg L-1 gave recoveries of between 84.8% and 111.2%. In the case of carbamazepine, a recovery of 99.1% was obtained at 75 µg L-1. The main advantage of the developed method is that allows high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection, which is widely available in non-specialised laboratories, to be applied for pharmaceuticals and TCS determination in surface waters after performing a preconcentration/clean-up step with PDMS rods as it has been shown by analysing real water samples.

Abstract
The current clinical and forensic toxicological analysis of body fluids requires a modern approach to sample preparation characterized by high selectivity and enrichment capability, suitability for micro-samples, simplicity and speed, and the possibility of automation and miniaturization, as well as the use of small amounts of reagents, especially toxic solvents. Most of the abovementioned features may be realized using so-called microextraction techniques which cover liquid-phase techniques (e.g., single-drop microextraction, SDME; dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction, DLLME; hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction, HF-LPME) and solid-phase extraction techniques (solid-phase microextraction, SPME; microextraction in packed syringes, MEPS; disposable pipette tip extraction, DPX; stir bar sorption extraction, SBSE). Some other extraction methodologies like dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) or magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) can also be easily miniaturized. This review briefly describes and characterizes the abovementioned extraction methods, and then presents their current applications to the preparation of body fluids analyzed for bioactive compounds in combination with appropriate analytical methods, mainly chromatographic and related techniques. The perspectives of the analytical area we are interested in are also indicated.

Typical hormones (estrone, estradiol, estriol and ethinyl estradiol) were selected as analyte models and extracted from wastewater samples on laminar cork with statistically equivalent extraction efficiency to that provided by Oasis HLB. The cork characterization was performed by confocal fluorescence microscopy (CLSM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), allowing the identification of lignin, suberin and polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicellulose) as the main components of the cork. The best conditions for extraction were as follows: rotation velocity of the disk, 2000 rpm; extraction time, 45 min; and sample volume, 20 mL. The analytical features of the developed method show that calibration curves for all analytes have R2 values higher than 0.99. The absolute recoveries were higher than 63%, and the precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, ranged from 2 to 16%. The LOD and LOQ ranges were 3-19 and 10-62 ng L-1, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of wastewater, and the concentrations of hormones in a wastewater treatment plant in Santiago, Chile, ranged from <LOQ to 48 ng L-1.

Synthesis, characterization, and application of chemically interconnected carbon nanotube monolithic sorbents by photopolymerization in polypropylene caps. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:3291-3299.

Abstract
A facile and convenient approach for the preparation of interconnected multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) monolithic sorbents in recycled plastic caps has been developed. The method, which was based on the photopolymerization of the individual MWCNTs via the formation of a W/O medium internal phase emulsion (40/60 w/w%), provides control over the size of pores, rigidity, and the mechanical stability of the final solid. Pluronic L121 was used as a surfactant containing the water phase inside it and, consequently, the organic and non-polar phase, in which the MWCNTs and the cross-linker were trapped, remained on the outside of the droplets. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize the morphology of both the emulsions and the final solids, respectively. In addition, nitrogen intrusion porosimetry was performed in order to study how the specific surface area of the final monolithic solid changed (from 19.6 to 372.2 m2 g-1) with the variables involved in the polymerization step. To exemplify the great sorbent potential of the synthesized material, a colorimetric assay based on the retention of methylene blue within the interconnected MWCNT monolithic structure was carried out. Finally, following the positive results, the carbon nanotube-monolithic stirred caps were applied for the determination of chlorophenols in a biological matrix such as human urine, obtaining excellent recovery values (91-98%) and good precision (5.4-9.1%) under optimized extraction conditions.

Abstract
Although analytical scientists equivocally agree that “no sample preparation” would be the best approach, the fact is that all samples that are handled in any analytical laboratory need to undergo treatment to some extent prior to their introduction to the analytical instrument [...]
