Abstract
Rapid, efficient, and selective removal of toxicants such as aristolochic acid I (AAI) from complex natural product systems is of great significance for the safe use of herbal medicines or medicine-food plants. Addressing this challenge, we develop a high-performance separation approach based on ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) to separate and remove AAI. Two vinylene-linked iCOFs (NKCOF-46-Br- and NKCOF-55-Br-) with high crystallinity are fabricated in a green and scalable fashion via a melt polymerization synthesis method. The resulting materials exhibit a uniform morphology, high stability, fast equilibrium time, and superior affinity and selectivity for AAI. Compared to conventional separation media, NKCOF-46-Br- and NKCOF-55-Br- achieve the record high adsorption capacities of 246.0 mg g-1 and 178.4 mg g-1, respectively. Various investigations reveal that the positively charged framework and favorable pore microenvironment of iCOFs contribute to their high selectivity and adsorption efficiency. Moreover, the iCOFs exhibit excellent biocompatibility by in vivo toxicity assays. This study paves a new avenue for the rapid, selective and efficient removal of toxicants from complex natural systems.

Abstract
Aristolochic acids (AAs) are a toxic substance present in certain natural plants. Direct human exposure to these plants containing AAs leads to a severe and irreversible condition known as aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). Additionally, AAs accumulation in the food chain through environmental mediators can trigger Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), an environmental variant of AAN. This paper presents a concise overview of the oncogenic pathways associated with AAs and explores the various routes of environmental exposure to AAs. The detection and removal of AAs in natural plants, drugs, and environmental and biological samples were classified and summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods were analyzed. It is hoped that this review can provide effective insights into the detection and removal of AAs in the future.

A dispersive solid-phase extraction method for the determination of Aristolochic acids in Houttuynia cordata based on MIL-101(Fe): An analytes-oriented adsorbent selection design.

Abstract
In view of the molecular structure of Aristolochic acid I (AA-I) and Aristolochic acid II (AA-II), MIL-101(Fe) was selected as the sorbent to develop a dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) method for capturing the two analytes from Houttuynia cordata. The interactions between the sorbent and analytes were investigated by FT-IR, XPS and UV-Vis DRS spectra. The optimized method demonstrated good linearity with R2 > 0.9999. The limit of detections (LODs) were 0.007 mg/L and 0.014 mg/L for AA-I and AA-II, respectively, lower than the limit stipulated by Chinese Pharmacopoeia (0.001 %, w/w). The recoveries for AA-I and AA-II were within the range of 73.3-106.4 %. The precisions of intra-day and inter-day were 0.9-5.8 % and 2.1-5.8 %, respectively. Thus, the established method demonstrated to be efficient and reliable to determine AA-I and AA-II in Houttuynia cordata.

Abstract
(+)-catechin is one category of flavonoids in cocoa shell waste and it has been reported to have many health benefits. In order to isolate it from aqueous extracted solution of cocoa shell waste by solid phase extraction (SPE), a series of dual ionic liquids@ZIF8-covered silica were prepared as the sorbents. Regarding the operation conditions of SPE and the characteristic structure of (+)-catechin, ZIF8-covered silica was synthesized to establish a stable and porous substrate, and various dual ionic liquids with multiple properties were immobilized on substrate to obtain a high adsorption capacity. Different adsorption conditions were investigated and the highest adsorption capacity (58.0 mg/g) was obtained on Sil@ZIF8@EIM-EIM at 30 °C during 60.0 min. When the sorbent was applied in the SPE process, 96.0% of the total amount of (+)-catechin from cocoa shell waste can be isolated after several washing and elution steps. The satisfactory recoveries of 97.5–100.2% and RSDs of 1.3–3.2% revealed that the SPE process was accurate and precise. The stability of Sil@ZIF8@EIM-EIM was tested in water and the reusability was tested using repeated adsorption/desorption process. The results revealed that Sil@ZIF8@EIM-EIM as an efficient sorbent can isolate (+)-catechin from cocoa shell waste.

Abstract
When Aristolochia plants wilt and decay, aristolochic acids (AAs) are released into the soil, causing soil contamination. It has been demonstrated that aristolochic acid can be accumulated and enriched in crops through plant uptake. However, there is a lack of systematic studies on the migration and accumulation of AAs in a realistic simulated soil environment. In this study, Aristolochia herbal extracts were mixed with soil for growing three typical vegetables: lettuce, celery, and tomato. The contents of AAs in the above-mentioned plants were determined by an established highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method to study the migration and accumulation of AAs. We found that AAs in the soil can be transferred and accumulated in plants. AAs first entered the roots, which were more likely to accumulate AAs, and partially entered the above-ground parts. This further confirms that AAs can enter the food chain through plants and can have serious effects on human health. It was also shown that plants with vigorous growth and a large size absorbed AAs from the soil at a faster rate. The more AAs present in the soil, the more they accumulated in the plant.

Abstract
An effective method based on an imidazole ionic liquid functionalized ZIF-67 molecularly imprinted solid-phase extractant (ZIF-67@[Bmim][Br]@MIP) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the separation/analysis of bisphenol A (BPA) was established. ZIF-67@[Bmim][Br]@MIP was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM and BET. Several important factors, such as pH, amount of extractant, extraction time, and types of eluents were investigated in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of the method was 0.01-20.00 μg mL-1, the detection limit was 5.0 ng mL-1, and the linear correlation was good (R2 = 0.9994). The detection of BPA in mineral water bottles, milk cartons and milk tea cups proved that the method was simple and effective, and could be used to separate and analyze BPA in real samples.

Removal of Pyridine, Quinoline, and Aniline from Oil by Extraction with Aqueous Solution of (Hydroxy)quinolinium and Benzothiazolium Ionic Liquids in Various Ways. SEPARATIONS 2021.

Abstract
Based on above background, quinolinium, 8-hydroxy-quinolinium, and benzothiazolium ionic liquids, containing the acidic anions of methanesulfonate ([CH3SO3]−), phosphate ([H2PO4]−), p-toluenesulfonate ([p-TSA]−), and bisulfate ([HSO4]−) were synthesized. After comparison, the aqueous solution of benzothiazole bisulfate [HBth][HSO4] was selected as the most ideal extractant for removing pyridine and aniline. Meanwhile, benzothiazole bisulfate [HBth][HSO4] solution was found as the best one for removing quinoline from simulated oil. Then, the single stage extraction and two-step extraction were used in the extraction for the simulated oil containing pyridine, quinoline or aniline, and their mixture, respectively. Their denitrogenation performance on their N-removal effect was compared on the basis of structural features, and main extraction conditions were further investigated, including mass ratio of IL to water, mass ratio of IL to oil, and temperature. Furthermore, the extraction process was described by two kinetic equations. Recovery and reuse of IL were realized by back-extraction and liquid-liquid separation, and a related mechanism was speculated, according to all the experimental results. Finally, based on the developed method for preparing complex adsorbent tablets, corresponding immobilized IL was used to remove target objects, by solid phase extraction, in order to extend separation ways, which was more easily recovered after extraction.
