Abstract
A new poly(3-hydroxy butyrate)-b-poly(dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate) amphiphilic block copolymer containing gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (PHB-PDMAEMA-Gd2O3-NPs) were synthesized and used as composite adsorbent for extraction of total arsenic. Characterization of the composite adsorbent material PHB-PDMAEMA-Gd2O3-NP was studied using spectroscopic techniques. Plackett-Burman design and central composite design were employed to screening and optimization of the experimental parameters. This composite adsorbent was utilized in ultrasound assisted-dispersive solid phase microextraction (UA-dSPµE) for the determination of total inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs through hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). It demonstrates a linear relationship across arsenic concentration range of 0.07-1.12 µg/L with a correlation coefficient (0.996). It's showed an enrichment factor of 128 and a limit of detection 0.02 µg/L for total inorganic arsenic determination. Accuracy of the developed method was confirmed through the analysis of certified reference materials with 96.0-98.5% recovery. It proved to be significantly useful UA-dSPµE method for determining total inorganic arsenic in different foodstuffs.

Abstract
The cycle time of a standard liquid chromatography (LC) system is the sum of the time for the chromatographic run and the autosampler injection sequence. Although LC separation times in the 1-10 s range have been demonstrated, injection sequences are commonly >15 s, limiting throughput possible with LC separations. Further, such separations are performed on relatively large bore columns requiring flow rates of ≥5 mL/min, thus generating large volumes of mobile phase waste when used for large scale screening and increasing the difficulty in interfacing to mass spectrometry. Here, a droplet injector system was established that replaces the autosampler with a four-port, two-position valve equipped with a 20 nL internal loop interfaced to a syringe pump and a three-axis positioner to withdraw sample droplets from a well plate. In the system, sample and immiscible fluid are pulled alternately from a well plate into a capillary and then through the injection valve. The valve is actuated when sample fills the loop to allow sequential injection of samples at high throughput. Capillary LC columns with 300 μm inner diameter were used to reduce the consumption of mobile phase and sample. The system achieved 96 separations of 20 nL droplet samples containing 3 components in as little as 8.1 min with 5-s cycle time. This system was coupled to a mass spectrometer through an electrospray ionization source for high-throughput chemical reaction screening.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129145. [PMID: 38176491 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Developing an effective adsorbent for Pb2+ removal from wastewater has huge economic and environmental implications. Adsorbents made from cellulosic materials that have been modified with certain chelators could be used to get rid of metal cations from aqueous solutions. However, their selectivity for specific metals remains very low. Here, we describe the synthesis of 4-(2-pyridyl)thiosemicarbazide (PTC) hydrazidine-functionalized cellulose (Pb-PTC-CE), a polymer imprinted with Pb2+ ions that may be used to remove Pb2+ ions from wastewater. Owing to its potent -NH2 functionalization, PTC hydrazidine not only served as an efficient chelator to effectively supply coordinating sites and construct hierarchical porous structures on Pb-PTC-CE, but it also made it possible for cross-linking to occur through the glyoxal cross-linker. The abundant chelators, along with the hierarchical porous construction of the developed Pb-PTC-CE with PTC functionality, result in a greater sorption capacity of 336 mg/g and a short sorption period of 40 min for Pb2+. Additionally, Pb-PTC-CE exhibits highly selective Pb2+ uptake compared to competing ions. This study proposes a feasible methodology for the development of high-quality materials for Pb2+ remediation by combining the advantages of active ligand functionality with ion-imprinting techniques in a straightforward way.
