The pressing issue of earthy and musty odor compounds in natural waters, which can affect the organoleptic properties of drinking water, makes it a public health concern. A simple and sensitive method for simultaneous analysis of five odorants in environmental water was developed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled to chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), includinggeosmin(GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), as well as dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS),β-cyclocitral, andβ-ionone. Based on the simple modification of original magnetic stirrer purchased from CORNING (USA), the five target compounds can be separated within 23 min, and the calibration curves show good linearity with a correlation coefficient above 0.999 (levels = 5). The limits of detection (LOD) are all below 1.3 ng L−1, and the relative standard deviation (%RSD) is between 4.4% and 9.9% (n = 7) and recoveries of the analytes from water samples are between 86.2% and 112.3%. In addition, the storage time experiment indicated that the concentrations did not change significantly for GSM and 2-MIB if they were stored in canonical environment. In conclusion, the method in this study could be applied for monitoring these five odorants in natural waters.

Abstract A vortex-assisted magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed for the extraction and determination of triazine herbicides by using magnetic metal organic frameworks [Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe)] in environmental water and vegetable samples. The Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) composite has been characterized by using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, tunneling electron microscopy, thermogravimetric measurement, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The method is based on the sorption of triazine herbicides on Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) because of the complex formation between iron oxide nanoparticles and triazine herbicides beside π-π interactions between organic parts of Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) and triazine herbicides. The experimental parameters for the preconcentration of triazine herbicides, such as the type and volume of the eluent, pH, time of the sorption and desorption, and the amount of the sorbent, were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the method was linear over the concentration range of 0.0061 to 70 ng/mL for each triazine herbicide, and the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.9988 to 0.9997. The limit of detection of the method at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 was 2.0 to 5.3 ng/mL. The relative standard deviations for inter- and intraday assays were in the range of 5.8 to 10.2% and 3.8 to 6.3%, respectively.

This article presents the use of Z-score in assessing the significant chemical compounds extracted by head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of an agarwood oil obtained from Melaka, Malaysia. Two types of SPME fiber; polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and divinylbenzene-carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (DVB-CAR-PDMS) were used. During the extraction analysis, the results showed that at least 27 and 29 compounds were identified using PDMS and DVB-CAR-PDMS fiber, respectively. DVB-CAR-PDMS fiber was found to be more efficient in terms of selectivity of compounds extraction. The application of Z-score showed that eight and eleven marker compounds were determined in PDMS and DVB-CAR-PDMS fibers, respectively. 4-Phenyl-2-butanone, a-guaiene, β-agarofuran, a-bulnesene, a-agarofuran and 10-epi-g-eudesmol were some of the compounds selected and were often reported significantly in agarwood oils as key odor compounds. The information gathered will be used for compound selection towards grading of agarwood oils by sensor technology.

A method is described for simultaneous determination of five herbicides (metribuzin, acetochlor, clomazone, oxyfluorfen and dimethenamid) belonging to different pesticides groups in soil samples. Developed headspace solid phase microextraction method (HS-SPME) in combination with liquid-solid sample preparation (LS) was optimized and applied in the analysis of some agricultural samples. Optimization of microextraction conditions, such as temperature, extraction time and sodium chloride (NaCl) content was perfor-med using 100 ?m polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) fiber. The extraction effi-ciencies of methanol, methanol:acetone=1:1 and methanol:acetone:hexane= =2:2:1 and the optimum number of extraction steps during the sample prepa-ration, were tested, as well. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for detection and quantification, obtaining relative standard deviation (RSD) below 13%, and recovery values higher than 83% for multiple analyses of soil samples fortified at 30 ?g kg-1 of each herbicide. Limits of detection (LOD) were less than 1.2 ?g kg-1 for all the studied herbicides.

Ionic     liquid (IL), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium-3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (C12mimHNC) was synthesized and coated on the surface of NiTi as solid phase microextractiom fiber coating for determination the octadecylamine in brine. Prior to modification with IL, the NiTi was hydrothermally treated for in-situ growth of titanium and nickel oxide composite nanosheets (TiO2/NiOCNSs). The TiO2/NiOCNSs fibers coating was oriented  around the NiTi  substrate and  presented  double-faced  open  access  sites,  which provided a desired support framework for the further modification with IL. The extraction performance of C12mimHNC-TiO2/NiOCNSs fiber coating was evaluated for       detection of octadecylamine (ODA) coupled to HPLC with UV detection. As a result, the C12mimHNC-TiO2/NiOCNSs fiber coating illustrated excellent adsorption and extraction capability for ODA. The main factors affected extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimized  conditions,  good  linearity was  obtained  in  the  range of  1-150  µg/L with correlation  coefficients  (r2)  above  0.985.  Limits of detection (LODs) for  the  developed method was 0.280 µg/L. The proposed method was first applied to extract the ODA in brine samples. Relative recoveries varied from 78.3% to 96.5% at spiking level of 15µg/L and 30 µg/L with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 8.7%.
