Conducting Polymer/Ionic Liquid Composite Modified Carbon Paste Electrode for the Determination of Carbaryl in Real Samples

A new method has been described for carbaryl determination using a simple electrochemical sensor. The unique properties of poly‐pPhenylenediamine and ionic liquid were exploited to fabricate carbon paste electrode modified with composite based on conducting polymer/ionic liquid. Electrode surface characterization was performed by electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and by scanning electron microscopy. Differential pulse voltammetry was employed for the detection of carbaryl in acetate buffer solution. Different parameters affecting the carbaryl response were optimized such as ionic liquid amounts, cycle number of polymerization and monomer concentration, pH, and accumulation time. Under the optimum experimental conditions, a linear response was obtained between 0.5 and 200 μmol/L, with detection limit of 0.09 μmol/L. The developed sensor offered satisfactory results for carbaryl detection in spring water and fruit samples.

A simple, rapid and efficient method, dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), has been developed for the determination of three carbamate pesticides (methomyl, carbofuran and carbaryl) in water samples. In this extraction process, a mixture of 35 µL chlorobenzene (extraction solvent) and 1.0 mL acetonitrile (disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into the 5.0 mL aqueous sample containing the analytes. After centrifuging (5 min at 4000 rpm), the fine droplets of chlorobenzene were sedimented in the bottom of the conical test tube. Sedimented phase (20 µL) was injected into the HPLC for analysis. Some important parameters, such as kind and volume of extraction and disperser solvent, extraction time and salt addition were investigated and optimised. Under the optimum extraction condition, the enrichment factors and extraction recoveries ranged from 148% to 189% and 74.2% to 94.4%, respectively. The methods yielded a linear range in the concentration from 1 to 1000 µg L^?1 for carbofuran and carbaryl, 5 to 1000 µg L^?1 for methomyl, and the limits of detection were 0.5, 0.9 and 0.1 µg L^?1, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) for the extraction of 500 µg L^?1 carbamate pesticides were in the range of 1.8–4.6% (n = 6).

The biomonitoring of hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine, as a direct way to access multiple exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, has raised great concerns due to their increasing hazardous health effects on humans. Solid‐phase extraction is an effective and useful technique to preconcentrate trace analytes from biological samples. Here, we report a novel solid‐phase extraction method using a graphene oxide incorporated monolithic syringe for the determination of six hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine coupled with liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry.

The fabricated monoliths gave higher adsorption efficiency and capacity than the neat polymer monolith and commercial C₁₈ sorbent. Under the optimum conditions, the developed method provided the detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.02–0.1 ng/mL and the linear ranges of 0.1–1500 ng/mL for six analytes in urine sample. The recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 77.5 to 97.1%. Besides, the intra column‐to‐column (n = 3) and inter batch‐to‐batch (n = 3) precisions were ≤ 9.8%. The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine samples of coke oven workers.

Ultrasound-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction for the determination of carbamate pesticides in water samples by high performance liquid chromatography

A novel ultrasound-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction (UASEME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection has been developed for the extraction and determination of six carbamate pesticides (metolcarb, carbofuran, carbaryl, pirimicarb, isoprocarb and diethofencarb) in water samples. In the UASEME technique, Tween 20 was used as emulsifier, and chlorobenzene and chloroform were used as dual extraction solvent without using any organic dispersive solvent that is normally required in the previously described common dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method. Parameters that affect the extraction efficiency, such as the kind and volume of the extraction solvent, the type and concentration of the surfactant, ultrasound emulsification time and salt addition, were investigated and optimized for the method. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factors were in the range between 170 and 246. The limits of detection of the method were 0.1–0.3 ng mL⁻¹ and the limits of quantification were between 0.3 and 0.9 ng mL⁻¹, depending on the compounds. The linearity of the method was obtained in the range of 0.3–200 ng mL⁻¹ for metolcarb, carbaryl, pirimicarb, and diethofencarb, 0.6–200 ng mL⁻¹ for carbofuran, and 0.9–200 ng mL⁻¹ for isoprocarb, with the correlation coefficients (r) ranging from 0.9982 to 0.9998. The relative standard deviations varied from 3.2 to 4.8% (n = 5). The recoveries of the method for the six carbamates from water samples at spiking levels of 1.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 ng mL⁻¹ were ranged from 81.0 to 97.5%. The proposed UASEME technique has demonstrated to be simple, practical and environmentally friendly for the determination of carbamates residues in river, reservoir and well water samples.

Solvent‐vapor‐assisted liquid–liquid microextraction: A novel method for the determination of phthalate esters in aqueous samples using GC–MS

A novel liquid–liquid microextraction method, namely, solvent‐vapor‐assisted liquid–liquid microextraction for the determination of dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and bis(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate in the aqueous samples using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was developed. In the proposed method, extracting solvent was heated, and solvent vapor as the extracting phase was injected into the sample solution. As a result of the low temperature of the sample solution and higher density of the extracting phase than the aqueous medium, solvent vapor was condensed and an organic‐phase drop formed in the bottom of sample tube. Because of the gas status of the extracting solvent, the surface area between the extracting solvent and the aqueous sample was remarkably high. Under the optimized conditions, tetrachloride carbon was used as an extracting solvent. The method shows high coefficient of determination (R ²) values in the range of 0.5–200 and 1.0–200 ng/mL for the target analytes. Enrichment factors and limits of detection for the studied phthalates are obtained in the ranges of 2800–3000 and 0.15–0.3 ng/mL, respectively. Recoveries and relative standard deviations were in the range of 80.0–100.0 and 2.2–7.8%, respectively. The proposed method successfully used for analysis of several aqueous samples.

The RSD varied from 2.9 to 7.5% (n=5). The recoveries of the method for the five carbamates from vegetable samples at two different spiking levels were ranged from 77.8 to 98.2%. Results showed that the method we proposed can meet the requirements for the determination of N-methyl carbamate in vegetable samples and was finally applied to the analysis of target pesticides in vegetable samples taken from local markets.     

Preparation of a magnetic porous carbon with hierarchical structures from waste biomass for the extraction of some carbamates

In this study, corn stalk was used to synthesize a magnetic adsorbent by pyrolysis together with KHCO₃ as the chemical activator and iron(III) salt as the magnetic reagent. The characterization by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N₂ adsorption–desorption analysis showed that the magnetic carbon adsorbent had a structure of hierarchical pores with a high specific surface area. To evaluate its adsorption performance, the adsorbent was used for the extraction of carbamates pesticides (propoxur, isoprocarb and fenobucarb) from water and zucchini samples before high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis. The result showed that the adsorbent had a good adsorption capability for the analytes. Under the optimized conditions, a good linearity for the analytes existed in the range of 0.1–100.0 ng/mL for water samples and 0.5–100.0 ng/g for zucchini samples with the correlation coefficients of 0.9992–0.9998. The limits of detection for the analytes at a signal to noise ratio of 3 were 0.03 ng/mL for water samples and 0.20–0.50 ng/g for zucchini samples.     

Determination of five pesticides in juice,fruit and vegetable samples by means of liquid chromatography combined with multivariate curve resolution

The aim of this work was to quantify five commonly used pesticides (propoxur, carbaryl, carbendazim, thiabendazole and fuberidazole) in real samples as: tomato, orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon and tangerine.

Preparation of arginine‐modified reduced graphene oxide composite filled in an on‐line solid‐phase extraction disk and its application in the analysis of heterocyclic aromatic amines

An arginine‐modified reduced graphene oxide composite was prepared in an on‐line solid‐phase extraction disk and coupled to high‐performance liquid chromatography for the re‐enrichment of heterocyclic aromatic amines. The synthetic composite presented an excellent adsorption capability because of the ultrahigh active surface area of graphene and the abundant alkaline groups of arginine. The adsorption capacity of it was 52.7 mg 2‐amino‐3‐methyl‐imidazo[4,5‐f]‐quinoline per gram, nearly twice that of threonine‐modified reduced graphene oxide composite, glutamic acid modified reduced graphene oxide composite, and reduced graphene oxide. This on‐line method was successfully applied to the detection of a series of heterocyclic aromatic amines in beef jerky. After clean‐up and re‐enrichment of the on‐line solid‐phase extraction disk, the chromatographic background of the sample was low and the shape of chromatographic peaks was sharp.

In this article, homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction (HOLLE), combined with HPLC-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD), has been developed for the extraction and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in vegetables. ACN was used as extraction solvent for the extraction of target analytes from vegetables. When the previous extraction process was over, the ACN extract was transferred to the water-immiscible organic phase, tetrachloroethane, used as extraction solvent in HOLLE procedures. Under the optimum conditions, repeatability was carried out by spiking PAHs at concentration level of 12.5 μg/kg, the RSDs varied between 1.1 and 8.5% (n = 3). The LODs, based on S/N of 3, ranged from 0.025 to 0.25 μg/kg. Relative recoveries of PAHs from cucumber and long crooked squash samples were in the range of 72.4–104.9% and 65.5–119.3%, respectively. Compared with the conventional extraction method, the proposed method has the advantage of being quick, easy to operate, and having low consumption of organic solvent.     

Sensitive determination of carbamates in fruit and vegetables by a combination of solid-phase extraction and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction prior to HPLC

We report on a new method for sample pretreatment. It is based on solid-phase extraction combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (SPE-DLLME) and was applied to the determination of carbamates in apple and cucumber. The carbamates carbofuran, carbaryl, and pirimicarb were first extracted from samples by SPE. The analytes were then eluted from the sorbent with acetonitrile, and the DLLME technique was then applied to the resulting eluate. Finally, the analytes in the extraction solvent were determined by HPLC. Several parameters affecting the SPE-DLLME process were optimized. The new method provides enrichment factors that range from 5,400 to 7,650. Calibration plots are linear in the range from 0.25 to 100?μg?kg^?1 for carbofuran and carbaryl, and from 0.10 to 100?μg?kg^?1 for pirimicarb, with correlation coefficient (r²) ranging from 0.9980 to 0.9997. The limits of detection range from 5 to 60?pg?kg^?1 (at S/N?=?3). The method was successfully applied to the extraction and sensitive determination of carbamates in apple and cucumber samples.

On-Line Coupled Liquid Chromatography – Gas Chromatography in the Analysis of Process Samples

Normal phase liquid chromatography–gas chromatography was used with on-column interfacing and partially concurrent solvent evaporation in the analysis of process samples. Samples were taken from reaction mixtures, where the solvent was toluene. The analytes were oxygenated compounds: methyl isobutyrate, methyl methacrylate, methyl α-formyl isobutyrate, and methyl β-formyl isobutyrate. The analytes were transferred from LC to GC using back-flush with a solvent mixture of pentane and diethyl ether. Linearity, repeatability, and transfer efficiency were determined for the method. The method was applied in the determination of the analytes of two different process samples. The results were in good agreement with results obtained by the gas chromatographic method currently in use for the analysis of the process samples.
