The method of ultrasound-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction combined with pre-column derivatization (UAE-SEEME-SFO-PD) was developed to simultaneously extract and determine the estrogens such as estriol (E3), bisphenol A (BPA), 17α-Ethynylestradiol (EE2), estradiol (E2) and nonylphenol (NP) in water samples. Central composite design was employed to investigate the effects of the factors, including emulsifier (Tween 20) volume, extractant (dodecanol) volume, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, the amount of derivating agent (paranitrobenzoyl chloride), temperature of derivatization and derivatization time, on the response of analytes. The optimized analytical conditions were obtained by response surface plot as follows: 40 µL of Tween 20, 35 µL of dodecanol, 62.5 W of ultrasonic power, 15 min of ultrasonic time, 5.0 mg of derivating agent, temperature of derivatization 35 °C and derivatization time 2.0 min, with the linear range of 0.02-2.0 mg/L for E3, BPA, EE2 and E2, 0.02-1.0 mg/L for NP, respectively (the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9950 to 0.9999). Also, the limits of detection were found between 1.06-5.04 µg/L. The spiked recoveries of estrogens under different spiked levels (0.02, 0.20 and 1.00 mg/L) for estrogens were in the range of 88.08-117.33%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was of 0.75-9.73%. Additionally, the method could be applied to analysis of estrogens in real water samples (collected from upstream and downstream of a reservoir), and the relative recoveries of estrogens under spiked levels (0.05 and 0.50 mg/L) for estrogens in real water samples were in the range of 85.18-124.17% (RSD 0.30-10.71%).

An ionic liquid-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction method has been developed for the effective extraction of procyanidins fromLarix gmeliniibark. So as to evaluate the performance of ionic liquids in ultrasonic-assisted extraction process, the effects caused by changes in the anion and the alkyl chain length of the cation on the extraction efficiency were investigated in this paper. The results indicated that the characteristics of anions had remarkable effects on the extraction efficiency of procyanidins, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Bmim]Br) aqueous solution was the best among the investigated ionic liquids. The optimum conditions for the extraction were as follows: [Bmim]Br concentration 1.25 M, soak time 3 h, solid-liquid ratio 1 : 10, ultrasonic power 150 W, and ultrasonic time 30 min. This work not only introduces a simple, green, and highly efficient sample preparation method for extraction of procyanidins fromL. gmeliniibark, but also reveals the tremendous application potential of ionic liquids.

Returning biochar to farmland has become one of the nationally promoted technologies for soil remediation and improvement in China. Rapid detection of heavy metals in biochar derived from varied materials can provide a guarantee for contaminated soil, avoiding secondary pollution. This work aims first to apply laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the quantitative detection of Cr in biochar. Learning from the principles of traditional matrix effect correction methods, calibration samples were divided into 1–3 classifications by an unsupervised hierarchical clustering method based on the main elemental LIBS data in biochar. The prediction samples were then divided into diverse classifications of calibration samples by a supervised K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. By comparing the effects of multiple partial least squares regression (PLSR) models, the results show that larger numbered classifications have a lower averaged relative standard deviations of cross-validation (ARSDCV) value, signifying a better calibration performance. Therefore, the 3 classification regression model was employed in this study, which had a better prediction performance with a lower averaged relative standard deviations of prediction (ARSDP) value of 8.13%, in comparison with our previous research and related literature results. The LIBS technology combined with matrix effect classification regression model can weaken the influence of the complex matrix effect of biochar and achieve accurate quantification of contaminated metal Cr in biochar.

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction parameters of Sojae Semen Praeparatum polysaccharides (SSPP-80), the optimum conditions were determined as follows: ultrasonic frequency of 100 W, ultrasonic power of 80 Hz, ultrasonic temperature of 52℃, ultrasonic time of 23 minutes, and liquid to raw material ratio of 40 mL/g. Based on these conditions, polysaccharides extraction rate was 7.72% ± 0.26%. Then, 2 novel polysaccharides (SSPP-80‐1, SSPP-80‐2) were isolated from SSPP by DEAE-cellulose 52 chromatography. The chemical compositions, physicochemical properties, and structure of SSPPs were investigated by simultaneous thermal analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FI-IR), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that SSPP-80 and 2 fractions were mainly composed of mannose (Man), glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), xylose (Xyl), and arabinose (Ara). In addition, the antioxidant activities were evaluated against the DPPH and hydroxyl radical in vitro, the IC50 of SSPP-80, SSPP-80‐1 and SSPP-80‐2 against DPPH free radical were 4.407, 8.267, and 5.204 mg/mL, respectively, whereas the IC50values for removing hydroxyl groups were 5.318, 3.516, and 4.016 mg/mL, respectively. It demonstrated that SSPP-80 and 2 fractions had certain antioxidant activity. Theoretical basis for use of Sojae Semen Praeparatum polysaccharides was provided by this study.

Microcapsules were prepared using the complex coacervation method with nano anatase TiO2 as the core material, gelatin/Arabia gum as the wall material, while dispersing TiO2 into the reaction solution using the ultrasonic. The prepared microcapsules can be finished into textiles such as the polypropylene nonwovens, and the microcapsules in the textiles gradually fracture and the anatase TiO2 was released, which would facilitate photo-degradation of the polypropylene nonwovens when exposed in sunlight. The microcapsules size was used as the process optimization evaluation index, and the quadratic general revolving combination design was used to conduct the experiments for obtaining the optimum ultrasonic conditions, and the other progress parameters were the same that used in our early microcapsule preparation. The obtained optimal process for ultrasound is: ultrasonic time is 17min; ultrasonic power is 74W and ultrasound temperature 60 °C.

This study reports an analytical method for the determination of nitroimidazole and quinolones in honey using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A modified QuEChERS methodology was used to extract the analytes and determine veterinary drugs in honey by LC-MS/MS. The linear regression was excellent at the concentration levels of 1–100 ng/mL in the solution standard curve and the matrix standard curve. The recovery rates of nitroimidazole and quinolones were 4.4% to 59.1% and 9.8% to 46.2% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 5.2% and the recovery rates of nitroimidazole and quinolones by the matrix standard curve ranged from 82.0% to 117.8% and 79% to 115.9% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 6.3% in acacia and jujube honey. The acacia and jujube honeys have stronger matrix inhibition effect to nitroimidazole and quinolones residue; the matrix inhibition effect of jujube honey is stronger than acacia honey. The matrix standard curve can calibrate matrix effect effectively. In this study, the detection method of antibiotics in honey can be applied to the actual sample. The results demonstrated that the modified QuEChERS method combined with LC-MS/MS is a rapid, high, sensitive method for the analysis of nitroimidazoles and quinolones residues in honey.
