Kinetic aspects of hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and electromembrane extraction

In this paper, extraction kinetics was investigated experimentally and theoretically in hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) and electromembrane extraction (EME) with the basic drugs droperidol, haloperidol, nortriptyline, clomipramine, and clemastine as model analytes. In HF-LPME, the analytes were extracted by passive diffusion from an alkaline sample, through a (organic) supported liquid membrane (SLM) and into an acidic acceptor solution. In EME, the analytes were extracted by electrokinetic migration from an acidic sample, through the SLM, and into an acidic acceptor solution by application of an electrical potential across the SLM. In both HF-LPME and EME, the sample (donor solution) was found to be rapidly depleted for analyte. In HF-LPME, the mass transfer across the SLM was slow, and this was found to be the rate limiting step of HF-LPME. This finding is in contrast to earlier discussions in the literature suggesting that mass transfer across the boundary layer at the donor–SLM interface is the rate limiting step of HF-LPME. In EME, mass transfer across the SLM was much more rapid due to electrokinetic migration. Nevertheless, mass transfer across the SLM was rate limiting even in EME. Theoretical models were developed to describe the kinetics in HF-LPME, in agreement with the experimental findings. In HF-LPME, the extraction efficiency was found to be maintained even if pH in the donor solution was lowered from 10 to 7–8, which was below the pK_a-value for several of the analytes. Similarly, in EME, the extraction efficiency was found to be maintained even if pH in the donor solution increased from 4 to 11, which was above the pK_a-value for several of the analytes. The two latter experiments suggested that both techniques may be used to effectively extract analytes from samples in a broader pH range as compared to the pH range recommended in the literature.     

Application of hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) for the determination of acidic pharmaceuticals in wastewaters

The presence of pharmaceuticals in the environment is a very important problem that requires analytical solutions. The wide variety of matrices and, usually, the low pharmaceuticals levels in the environmental samples requires high sensitive and selective analytical procedures. Wastewaters are one of the more important sources of environmental pollutants but they are very complex matrices that need clean-up procedures prior the analysis. Hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) is a relatively new technique used in analytical chemistry for sample pre-treatment that offers high selectivity and sensitivity compared to most traditional extraction techniques. The low organic solvent consumption derived from the use of HF-LPME is according to the current trends to a “Green Chemistry”, and Analytical Chemistry should follow these environmental good practices. This paper describes an extraction method using a polypropylene membrane supporting dihexyl ether (three-phase hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME)) for the direct analysis of three pharmaceuticals (salicylic acid (SAC), ibuprofen (IBU) and diclofenac (DIC)) in raw and treated wastewaters followed by a HPLC/MS-MS determination using a highly packed Pursuit^® XRs Ultra 2.8 μm C18 column that allows high resolution using low flow-rates and, simultaneously, short retention times. Detection limits were 20, 100 and 300 ng L⁻¹ for salicylic acid, diclofenac and ibuprofen, respectively.

Orthogonal array design for the optimization of hollow fiber protected liquid-phase microextraction of salicylates from environmental waters

In the present study, a three phase-based hollow fiber protected liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of salicylates in environmental waters was developed. The HF-LPME procedure was optimized by an L₁₆(4⁵) orthogonal array experimental design (OAD) with five factors at four levels. Under the optimal extraction condition (pHs of donor and receiving phases of 3.0 and 6.2, respectively, extraction time of 45 min, stirring speed of 1000 rpm, and salt addition of 20% (w/v)), salicylates could be determined in a linear range from 0.025 to 1.0 μg mL⁻¹ with a good correlation (r² > 0.9930). The limits of detection (LODs) ranged between 0.6 ng mL⁻¹ and 1.2 ng mL⁻¹ for the target analytes. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of intra-day and inter-day were in the range of 0.64–14.58% and 0.16–15.45%, respectively. This procedure afforded a convenient, sensitive, accurate and cost-saving operation with high extraction efficiency for the model analytes. The method was applied satisfactorily to the determination of salicylates in two environmental waters.

Determination of residual monomers in latex by headspace hollow fiber protected liquid-phase microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography

A simple and efficient method based on hollow fiber protected headspace liquid-phase in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography has been introduced for extraction and determination of three residual monomers (2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), vinyl acetate (VA), glycidyl methacrylate (GM)) in polymer latex. Using this methodology, the analytes of interest extracted from a sample are led into organic solvent located inside the porous hollow fiber membrane. Initially, several experimental parameters were controlled and optimized and the optimum conditions were reached with 8 cm neatly cut hollow fibers containing heptanol, which were exposed to the headspace of a 12 mL sample solution containing 20% (w/v) NaCl thermostated at 110 °C and stirred at 800 rpm for 20 min. Finally, 20 μL of the extraction solution was withdrawn into a syringe and injected into HPLC for analysis. The calibration curves were linear (r² ≥ 0.994) over the concentration range of 0.05-10 mg L⁻¹ for VA and 0.02-10 mg L⁻¹ for other analytes. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) for three-replicate extractions and measurements was below 8.6%. The limits of detection of this method for quantitative determination of the analytes were found within the range of 0.005 to 0.011 mg kg⁻¹ with the enrichment factors within the 5-164 range. The method was successfully applied for determination of residual monomers in polymer latex.     

Environmental and bioanalytical applications of hollow fiber membrane liquid-phase microextraction: a review

In hollow fiber membrane liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), target analytes are extracted from aqueous samples and into a supported liquid membrane (SLM) sustained in the pores in the wall of a small porous hollow fiber, and further into an acceptor phase present inside the lumen of the hollow fiber. The acceptor phase can be organic, providing a two-phase extraction system compatible with capillary gas chromatography, or the acceptor phase can be aqueous resulting in a three-phase system compatible with high-performance liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis. Due to high enrichment, efficient sample clean-up, and the low consumption of organic solvent, substantial interest has been devoted to LPME in recent years. This paper reviews important applications of LPME with special focus on bioanalytical and environmental chemistry, and also covers a new possible direction for LPME namely electromembrane extraction, where analytes are extracted through the SLM and into the acceptor phase by the application of electrical potentials.     

Combination of hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction with sweeping techniques in micellar electrokinetic chromatography for the determination of Strychnos alkaloids in human urine

A new method for the enrichment of Strychnos alkaloids in biological samples via liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) based on porous polypropylene hollow fibers in combination with on-line sweeping in micellar electrokinetic chromatography was developed. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 20-200 ng mL-1 for both strychnine and brucine in human urine sample. The detection limits (S/N=3:1) for strychnine and brucine were 1 ng mL-1 and 2 ng mL-1, respectively. The LPME-sweeping method has been successfully applied to the analysis of strychnine and brucine in real urine samples.     

In situ derivatization and hollow fiber membrane microextraction for gas chromatographic determination of haloacetic acids in water

An alternative method for gas chromatographic determination of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in water using direct derivatization followed by hollow fiber membrane liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) has been developed. The method has improved the sample preparation step according to the conventional US EPA Method 552.2 by combining the derivatization and the extraction into one step prior to determination by gas chromatography electron captured detector (GC-ECD). The HAAs were derivatized with acidic methanol into their methyl esters and simultaneously extracted with supported liquid hollow fiber membrane in headspace mode. The derivatization was attempted directly in water sample without sample evaporation. The HF-LPME was performed using 1-octanol as the extracting solvent at 55 °C for 60 min with 20% Na₂SO₄. The linear calibration curves were observed for the concentrations ranging from 1 to 300 μg L⁻¹ with the correlation coefficients (R²) being greater than 0.99. The method detection limits of most analytes were below 1 μg L⁻¹ except DCAA and MCAA that were 2 and 18 μg L⁻¹, respectively. The recoveries from spiked concentration ranged from 97 to 109% with %R.S.D. less than 12%. The method was applied for determination of HAAs in drinking water and tap water samples. The method offers an easy one step high sample throughput sample preparation for gas chromatographic determination of haloacetic acids as well as other contaminants in water.     

Hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction for the determination of trace amounts of rosiglitazone (anti-diabetic drug) in biological fluids using capillary electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatographic methods

A three-phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled either with capillary electrophoresis (CE) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection methods was successfully developed for the determination of trace levels of the anti-diabetic drug, rosiglitazone (ROSI) in biological fluids. The analyte was extracted into dihexyl ether that was immobilized in the wall pores of a porous hollow fiber from 10 mL of aqueous sample, pH 9.5 (donor phase), and was back extracted into the acceptor phase that contained 0.1 M HCl located in the lumen of the hollow fiber. Parameters affecting the extraction process such as type of extraction solvent, HCl concentration, donor phase pH, extraction time, stirring speed, and salt addition were studied and optimized. Under the optimized conditions (extraction solvent, dihexyl ether; donor phase pH, 9.5; acceptor phase, 0.1 M HCl; stirring speed, 600 rpm; extraction time, 30 min; without addition of salt), enrichment factor of 280 was obtained. Good linearity and correlation coefficients of the analyte was obtained over the concentration ranges of 1.0–500 and 5.0–500 ng mL⁻¹ for the HPLC (r² = 0.9988) and CE (r² = 0.9967) methods, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) for the HPLC and CE methods were (0.18, 2.83) and (0.56, 5.00) ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The percent relative standard deviation (n = 6) for the extraction and determination of three concentration levels (10, 250, 500 ng mL⁻¹) of ROSI using the HPLC and CE methods were less than 10.9% and 13.2%, respectively. The developed methods are simple, rapid, sensitive and are suitable for the determination of trace amounts of ROSI in biological fluids.     

Application of hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction for the determination of insecticides in water

In the present work, a novel sample pre-treatment technique for the determination of trace concentrations of some insecticide compounds in aqueous samples has been developed and applied to the determination of the selected analytes in environmental water samples. The extraction procedure is based on coupling polypropylene hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) with gas chromatography by flame thermionic detection (GC-FTD). For the development of the method, seven organophosphorous insecticides (dichlorvos, mevinphos-cis, ethoprophos, chlorpyrifos methyl, phenthoate, methidathion and carbofenothion) and one carbamate (carbofuran) were considered as target analytes. Several factors that influence the efficiency of HF-LPME were investigated and optimized including agitation, organic solvent, sample volume, exposure time, salt additives and pH. The optimized methodology exhibited good linearity with correlation coefficient = 0.990. The analytical precision for the target analytes ranged from 4.3 to 11.1 for within-day variation and 4.6 to 12.0% for between-day variation. The detection limits for all analytes were found in the range from 0.001 to 0.072 microg/L, well below the limits established by the EC Drinking Water Directive (EEC 80/778). Relative recoveries obtained by the proposed method from drinking and river water samples ranged from 80 to 104% with coefficient of variations ranging from 4.5 to 10.7%. The present methodology is easy, rapid, sensitive and requires small sample volumes to screen environmental water samples for insecticide residues.     

Application of hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction in identification of oil spill sources

In this study, hollow fiber based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME), coupled with GC, GC–MS and GC–IRMS detections, was employed to determine petroleum hydrocarbons in spilled oils. According to the results, the HF-LPME method collected more low-molecular weight components, such as C₇–C₁₁n-alkanes, naphthalene, and phenanthrene, than those collected in conventional liquid–liquid extraction (LLE). The results also showed that this method had no remarkable effect on the distributions of high-molecular weight compounds such as >C₁₈n-alkanes, C₁–C₃ phenanthrene, and hopanes. Also, the carbon isotopic compositions of individual n-alkanes in the two preparation processes were identical. Accordingly, HF-LPME, as a simple, fast, and inexpensive sample preparation technique, could become a promising method for the identification of oil spill sources.     

Hollow fiber based liquid-phase microextraction for the determination of mercury traces in water samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A three-phase liquid microextraction procedure for the determination of mercury at low concentrations is discussed. To the aqueous sample placed at pH 7 by means of a phosphate buffer, 0.002% (m/v) 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) is incorporated, and the mixture submitted to microextraction with a hollow-fiber impregnated with toluene and whose lumen contains a 0.05 mol L⁻¹ ammonium iodide solution. The final measurement of the extract is carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (300 °C and 1100 °C for the calcination and atomization temperatures, respectively). The pyrolytic graphite atomizer is coated electrolytically with palladium. An enrichment factor of 270, which results in a 0.06 μg L⁻¹ mercury for the detection limit is obtained. The relative standard deviation at the 1 μg L⁻¹ mercury level is 3.2% (n = 5). The reliability of the procedure is verified by analyzing waters as well as six certified reference materials.     

Hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) of ibuprofen followed by FIA-chemiluminescence determination using the acidic permanganate-sulfite system

Hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) is a relatively new technique employed in analytical chemistry for sample pretreatment which offers more selectivity and sensitivity than any traditional extraction technique. This paper describes a three-phase HF-LPME method for ibuprofen using a polypropylene membrane supporting dihexyl ether followed by a chemiluminescence (CL) determination using the CL enhancement on the acidic permanganate-sulfite system in a FIA configuration which is the first time that both techniques have been combined for analytical purposes. The CL intensity (peak area) was proportional to the log of ibuprofen concentration in the donor phase over the range 0.1-20 μg mL⁻¹. The detection limit was 0.03 μg mL⁻¹ of ibuprofen in the donor phase. The method was satisfactory reproducible and has been applied to the ibuprofen determination in pharmaceuticals and in real human urine samples.

Development and application of polymer-coated hollow fiber membrane microextraction to the determination of organochlorine pesticides in water

A novel extraction procedure coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometric detection for quantification of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in water is described. Amphiphilic polyhydroxylated polyparaphenylene (PH-PPP) was synthesized and coated on the surfaces of a porous polypropylene hollow fiber membrane (HFM). Due to the high porosity of the HFM, maximum active surface area to achieve high extraction efficiency is expected. The polymer-coated HFM was used for the extraction of 15 OCPs from water. The extraction efficiency was compared with emerging and established methods such as liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) techniques. We term the current procedure as polymer-coated hollow fiber microextraction (PC-HFME). PC-HFME showed good selectivity and sensitivity. Detection limits for OCPs were in the range of 0.001-0.008 microg l(-1). The sensitivity and selectivity of the coated HFM could be adjusted by changing the characteristics of the coated PH-PPP film.     

Automated polyvinylidene difluoride hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction of flunitrazepam in plasma and urine samples for gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

A new polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber (200 μm wall thickness, 1.2 mm internal diameter, 0.2 μm pore size) was compared with two other polypropylene (PP) hollow fibers (200, 300 μm wall thickness, 1.2 mm internal diameter, 0.2 μm pore size) in the automated hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) of flunitrazepam (FLNZ) in biological samples. With higher porosity and better solvent compatibility, the PVDF hollow fiber showed advantages with faster extraction efficiency and operational accuracy. Parameters of the CTC autosampler program for HF-LPME in plasma and urine samples were carefully investigated to ensure accuracy and reproducibility. Several parameters influencing the efficiency of HF-LPME of FLNZ in plasma and urine samples were optimized, including type of porous hollow fiber, organic solvent, agitation rate, extraction time, salt concentration, organic modifier, and pH. Under optimal conditions, extraction recoveries of FLNZ in plasma and urine samples were 6.5% and 83.5%, respectively, corresponding to the enrichment factor of 13 in plasma matrix and 167 in urine matrix. Excellent sample clean-up was observed and good linearities (r² = 0.9979 for plasma sample and 0.9995 for urine sample) were obtained in the range of 0.1–1000 ng/mL (plasma sample) and 0.01–1000 ng/mL (urine sample). The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were 0.025 ng/mL in plasma matrix and 0.001 ng/mL in urine matrix by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.
