AbstractResidues of pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are contaminants of world-wide concern. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop reliable analytical methods, which enable rapid, sensitive and selective determination of these pollutants in environmental samples, at trace levels. In this paper, a review of the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based methods for the determination of pesticides and PPCPs in the environment is presented. Advanced aspects of current LC-MS/MS methodology, including sample preparation and matrix effects, are discussed.

A highly selective, sensitive method for determination of carboxylic acids in water has been developed that is based on fluorine-selective gas chromatography (GC) detection of pentafluorobenzyl ester derivatives. The atmospheric-pressure helium microwave-induced plasma detector is well suited for fluorine-specific detection of these derivatives, which were well resolved by capillary GC and displayed a characteristic fragmentation behavior when examined by GC-mass selective detection. For demonstration purposes, a number of carboxylic acids, ranging from C1 to C20, were examined and found to be derivatized with yields greater than 90%, and a sample of creek water was examined for its carboxylic acid content.

In this paper, a novel fluorescent nanoswitch based on carbon dots (CDs) was developed for the sensitive and selective determination of Hg[Formula: see text] and I[Formula: see text]. The CDs were obtained by simple hydrothermal process and had a strong fluorescence emission at 440[Formula: see text]nm. The fluorescence of the CDs can be selectively quenched by Hg[Formula: see text] ion, and then the I[Formula: see text] was added into the system, which can interact with Hg[Formula: see text] and recover fluorescence of the CDs. Under optimal conditions, the quenching fluorescence intensity on addition of Hg[Formula: see text] has obtained a satisfactory linear relationship covering the linear range of 0–50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M with the linear relationship ([Formula: see text]), and the limit of detection is 0.047[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M. The additions of I[Formula: see text] could lead to the fluorescence intensity of the solution of CDs and Hg[Formula: see text] (50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M) recover rapidly, which is linearly related ([Formula: see text]) to the concentration of I[Formula: see text] in the range from 0 to 70[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M, the detection limit for I[Formula: see text] was calculated to be 0.084[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M. Moreover, the developed method to detect Hg[Formula: see text] and I[Formula: see text] was evaluated in real examples, and the fluorescence switching can sensitively and selectively detect Hg[Formula: see text] and I[Formula: see text] over some potentially interfering ions, the recoveries were up to 97.8–107.0% and 96.7–106.6%, respectively.

AbstractA novel fluorometric method was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of Pro-Gly (PG) and Pro-Gly-Pro (PGP) using 4-chlorobenzene-1,2-diol (4-CBD) as a fluorogenic reagent. The reaction was performed at 37°C for 30 min in the presence of a borate buffer (pH 7.0) and sodium periodate. The resulting fluorescence intensity was measured using a spectrofluorometer with excitation and emission wavelengths of 450 nm and 535 nm. To obtain a stable fluorescent signal and maximise its intensity, different reaction conditions such as the concentrations of the reagents, the reaction time, and the pH were optimised. Under the optimised conditions, a linear relationship was obtained between fluorescence intensity and peptide concentrations from 1.0-40.0 μmol L

Recently, the conversion of biomass into carbon nanofibers has been extensively studied. In this study, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared from rubber fruit shell (RFS) by chemical activation with H3PO4, followed by a simple hydrothermal process at low temperature and without a vacuum and gas catalyst. XRD and Raman studies show that the structure formed is an amorphous graphite formation. From the thermal analysis, it is shown that CNFs have a high thermal stability. Furthermore, an SEM/TEM analysis showed that CNFs’ morphology varied in size and thickness. The obtained results reveal that by converting RFS into an amorphous carbon through chemical activation and hydrothermal processes, RFS is considered a potential biomass source material to produce carbon nanofibers.
