Trace quantification of selected sulfonamides in aqueous media by implementation of a new dispersive solid‐phase extraction method using a nanomagnetic titanium dioxide graphene‐based sorbent and HPLC‐UV

Herein, a new dispersive solid‐phase extraction method using a nano magnetic titanium dioxide graphene‐based sorbent in conjunction with high‐performance liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection was successfully developed. The method was proved to be simple, sensitive, and highly efficient for the trace quantification of sulfacetamide, sulfathiazole, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfadiazine in relatively large volume of aqueous media. Initially, the nano magnetic titanium dioxide graphene‐based sorbent was successfully synthesized and subsequently characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Then, the sorbent was used for the sorption and extraction of the selected sulfonamides mainly through π–π stacking hydrophobic interactions. Under the established conditions, the calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 1–200 μg/L. The limit of quantification (precision of 20%, and accuracy of 80–120%) for the detection of each sulfonamide by the proposed method was 1.0 μg/L. To test the extraction efficiency, the method was applied to various fortified real water samples. The average relative recoveries obtained from the fortified samples varied between 90 and 108% with the relative standard deviations of 5.3–10.7%.     

ADSORPTION OF PHENOL AND NITROPHENOLS ON A HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENT

The adsorption of phenol and nitrophenols on hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent wasstudied as a function of the solution concentration and temperature. Adsorption isotherms of phenoland nitrophenols on hypercrosslinked resin were determined. These isotherms were modeledaccording to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The isotherms for phenol and nitrophenols onhypercrosslinked resin were assigned as L curves. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated for allphenol and nitrophenols. The kinetics experiment results showed that the adsorption rates were of thefirst-order kinetics. The rate constants at 303K were calculated.     

Effect of hydration on the dynamics of polymeric cation exchangers and polymeric sorbent inferred from the Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation

Dependences of the dynamics of hydrophilic polymeric nets of acrylate cation exchanger, sulfonated poly(styrenedivinylbenzene) cation exchanger, and hydrophobic poly(divinylbenzeneethylstyrene) sorbent on the degree of hydration were studied by the Rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation (RSMR). Dependences of the integral elastic fraction of RSMR of the polymer—water systems on the water/polymer mass ratio were determined. In the case of the cation exchangers, a considerable decrease in the elastic fraction of RSMR of the polymer during hydration was established. A considerable increase in the mobility of the nets indicates their transition from a glassy state to an elastic state. It was established that the intramolecular mobility of the hydrophobic polymeric sorbent remains unchanged during its hydration, and it contains water culsters with the nonzero elastic fraction of RSMR in its finest pores.     

Effect of Sorbent Additives to Copper-Contaminated Soils on Seed Germination and Early Growth of Grass Seedlings

Heavy metal and metalloid-contaminated soil is a serious barrier to colonization for many plant species. The problem of the elimination of toxic waste accumulated in technogenous soils in many highly transformed regions is extremely important. Hence, another attempt was made to analyze the effect of the addition of sorbents (BCH—biochar, B—bentonite, ChM—chicken manure, OS—organo-zeolitic substrate) to contaminated copper soil on the germination and early growth of Eurasian common grass species (Agrostis capillaris, A. stolonifera, Festuca rubra and Poa pratensis), which could potentially be used in recultivation. This experiment was based on the laboratory sandwich method. Standard germination indexes, morphometry and biomass analysis were used. The percentage of germinating seeds was lower in each of the soil variants and sorbents used compared to the control. Dry mass was positively stimulated by all sorbents. The response to the addition of sorbents, expressed as the electrolyte leakage of seedlings, was different depending on the species and type of sorbent. Among all sorbents, the most positive effects on germination and growth were observed in the case of OS. Overall, the response to the addition of sorbents was different in the studied species, depending on their stage of development.

Solid-Phase Extraction of Trace Amounts of Selenomethionine

Abstract

Preconcentration and separation of trace amounts of selenomethionine was investigated using several solid sorbents. The best results were obtained with copper-treated Chelex 100 chelating resin. Selenomethionine from 100 ml of solution adsorbed on 0.2 g of the resin was eluted with 8 ml of 1.5 mol/l ammonia solution and determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. The column chromatography with Cu-Chelex and functionalized cellulose sorbent Cellex T was applied to separate organic and inorganic selenium forms.     

Sorbent-Based Method for the Analysis of Ambient Air Using Supercritical Fluid Desorption/Gas Chromatography

Abstract

The work described in this paper shows how we have investigated the utility of polar polyimide sorbents for the collection of polar and non-polar volatile organic compounds in ambient air. The results indicate that supercritical carbon dioxide can be used to recover a variety of compounds with a wide range of volatilities from polyimide sorbents and that these compounds can be effectively collected onto an adsorbent micro-trap after the expansion of the fluid prior to thermal desorption gas chromatographic analysis. Molecular sieve 3A was used and found to have a very high capacity for removal of water from the supercritical fluid extract stream. The sieve tended to adsorb polar compounds in the absence of water; the presence of water sometimes reduced analyte adsorption. The method was used to collect, recover, and analyze volatile organic compounds from the air of a laboratory building and was shown to be quite sensitive for appropriate compounds.     

Sorbent materials for separation and preconcentration of gold in environmental and geological samples – A review

Determination of gold in environmental and geological samples requires very often preconcentration and separation due to the high concentration of interfering matrix components and the low content of this metal. Solid phase extraction technique with different kind of solid sorbents offers for this purpose high enrichment factor, rapid phase separation and the ability of combination with different detection techniques. It can be easily implemented and controlled in flow systems, The recent developments in this area are presented and discussed.     

Adsorption behavior of phenolic compounds onto polymeric adsorbents modified with 2-carboxybenzoyl groups

<正>Two hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents(ZH-01 and Amberlite XAD-4 resin) were employed to remove three kinds of phenolic compounds including phenol,4-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions.The study was focused on the static equilibrium adsorption behavior,the column dynamic adsorption and desorption profiles.The Freundlich model gave a perfect fitting to the isotherm data.The adsorbing capacities for these three compounds on ZH-01 were higher than those on Amberlite XAD-4 within the temperature range 288-318 K,which was attributed to the large micropore area and 2-carboxybenzoyl functional groups on the network of ZH-01 resin.The adsorption for phenol and 4- nitrophenol on ZH-01 was a physical adsorption process,while for 2,4-dinitrophenol it was a coexistence process of physical adsorption and chemisorption's transitions.The column test showed the advantages of ZH-01 in the dynamic adsorption processes of phenolic compounds.Being used as the desorption reagent,sodium hydroxide solution showed an excellent performance.
