Abstract
An advanced synthesis based on the phenylalanine (Phe) and task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL) functionalized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Phe/TSIL@MWCNTs), was used to extract benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene (BTEX) from cow's milk, powdered milk, and farm water samples. The BTEX was efficiently extracted by ultrasound-assisted dispersive homogenized-micro-solid phase extraction (USA-DH-µ-SPE) between 95.1% and 103.4%. By procedure, 50 mg of Phe/TSIL@MWCNTs was added to 0.2 mL of acetone and injected into 10 mL of the samples. The upper aqueous solution was vacuumed, the vial heated to 80 °C, and the BTEX desorbed in the vial. Then, using a Hamilton syringe, 1-20 µL of gas in the headspace vial was determined by injecting it into the gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The linear range, LOD, and LOQ for BTEX in milk and water samples were obtained at 0.05-500 µg L-1, 15 ng L-1, and 50 ng L-1, respectively (r = 0.9997, RSD% = 2.27).

Abstract
Silica aerogels are a class of materials that can be tailored in terms of their final properties and surface chemistry. They can be synthesized with specific features to be used as adsorbents, resulting in improved performance for wastewater pollutants' removal. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of amino functionalization and the addition of carbon nanostructures to silica aerogels made from methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) on their removal capacities for various contaminants in aqueous solutions. The MTMS-based aerogels successfully removed various organic compounds and drugs, achieving adsorption capacities of 170 mg⋅g-1 for toluene and 200 mg⋅g-1 for xylene. For initial concentrations up to 50 mg⋅L-1, removals greater than 71% were obtained for amoxicillin, and superior to 96% for naproxen. The addition of a co-precursor containing amine groups and/or carbon nanomaterials was proven to be a valuable tool in the development of new adsorbents by altering the aerogels' properties and enhancing their adsorption capacities. Therefore, this work demonstrates the potential of these materials as an alternative to industrial sorbents due to their high and fast removal efficiency, less than 60 min for the organic compounds, towards different types of pollutants.

Abstract
Benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) are volatile organic compounds released into the environment, that require urgent removal to avoid adverse health effects. In this work, the modelling and optimization of the preparation factors for magnetite coated oleic acid (MNP-OA) composite from microwave synthesis using response surface methodology were conducted to maximize BTX removal, and iron content. The influence of five crucial preparation variables: the Fe3+/Fe2+ solution volumes, microwave power, volume of ammonia water (VAW), reaction time and volume of oleic acid (VOA) on the iron content (% Fe), and BTX adsorption capacity were investigated. The analysis of variance results revealed that VOA and VAW were the most influential factors for high % Fe content, and improved BTX removal. The % Fe, and BTX adsorption capacity for MNP-OA composite at optimized experimental conditions were estimated to be 85.57%, 90.02 mg/g (benzene), 90.07 mg/g (toluene), and 96.31 mg/g (xylene).

Abstract
A novel and reliable microextraction technique was used for the fast determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) from contaminated water without any extra steps for the preparation or extraction of the aqueous sample. Vacuum-assisted-total vaporization-solid-phase microextraction (SPME) eliminated one of the partitioning steps in conventional headspace SPME and caused an increase in the sensitivity and speed of the method. A home-made graphene oxide/3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane nanocomposite SPME fiber was synthesized and used as the extraction phase for efficient extraction. Several crucial parameters were optimized, such as the vaporization time and temperature, extraction time and desorption conditions. At the optimum experimental conditions, a linear wide range calibration curve over a wide range of 1-5,000 ng mL-1 and a relative standard deviation (n = 6) of 6.6-7.3% were obtained. The result of the determination of BTEX as a human health risk from real samples, using the proposed method, revealed an acceptable agreement with a valid method.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 418:126405.

Abstract
Hydrogels are often claimed as optimal adsorbents for water treatment; however, their efficiency towards the removal of hydrophobic pollutants is still limited. As an alternative, hydrogels prepared from polymers functionalized with siliceous materials can overcome this issue. Here, a composite hydrogel (denoted as GEL-SBA15) was prepared using alginate grafted with mesoporous silica (SBA15) and poly(vinyl alcohol) for benzene and toluene adsorption from aqueous solutions. Adsorption studies demonstrated that a low dosage of GEL-SBA15 (10 mg) has a high adsorption capacity for benzene (1482.8 mg/g) and toluene (596.6 mg/g) under mild experimental conditions (pH 7.0, at 25 °C). Besides, the adsorption capacities of GEL-SBA15 for both pollutants were enhanced compared to the conventional hydrogel. Kinetic analysis showed that the adsorption of benzene and toluene follows a pseudo-second order model, while the experimental adsorption data were well-fitted by the Freundlich isotherm. According to this isotherm, the adsorption occurs via a collaborative process, and weak physical forces (π-π interactions, van der Waals and hydrophobic) are involved. Hence, the post-utilized GEL-SBA15 can be recycled and reused up to 6 times without losing adsorption performance. Although hydrogels are not common adsorbents for aromatic hydrocarbons, the results reported here rank GEL-SBA15 as a promising adsorbent for the removal of these pollutants from water.
