Thallium is a water-soluble metal and extra dosage has toxicological effect in human body. Thallium is readily absorbed by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. The symptomatology of thallium toxicity was seen in patients with hemorrhage, bone/gastrointestinal problems, delirium, convulsions and coma.  So, accurate determination of thallium in water and human urine is necessary. In this research, a novel and applied method based on 25 mg of nanomagnetic 4-Aminothieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine-2-thiol functionalized on graphene oxide (Fe3O4-ATPyHS@GO) was used for thallium extraction in 50 mL of water, wastewater and urine samples by dispersive magnetic micro solid-phase extraction (DM-μ-SPE). After extraction and back-extraction of solid phase by 1 mL of nitric acid solution, the concentration of thallium ions determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). The working/linear range, the limit of detection (LOD), and preconcentration factor (PF) were achieved (4-1400 μg L−1; 4-300 μg L−1), 0.9 µg L−1, and 50, respectively (Mean RSD%=1.8 water; 2.1 urine). The absorption capacity of Go and Fe3O4-ATPyHS@GO adsorbent were achieved 7.2 and 137.5 mg g-1 for 5 mg L-1 of thallium, respectively. The procedure was validated by ICP-MS analyzer.

Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) has been recognized as a marker for the detection of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, a novel monolithic solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent based on graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO) in starch-based cryogel composite (GO-Cry) was successfully prepared for BaP analysis. Rice flour and tapioca starch (gel precursors) were gelatinized in limewater (cross-linker) under alkaline conditions before addition of GO (filler) that can increase the ability to extract BaP up to 2.6-fold. BaP analysis had a linear range of 10 to 1000 µgL−1 with good linearity (R2 = 0.9971) and high sensitivity (4.1 ± 0.1 a.u./(µgL−1)). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 4.21 ± 0.06 and 14.04 ± 0.19 µgL−1, respectively, with excellent precision (0.17 to 2.45%RSD). The accuracy in terms of recovery from spiked samples was in the range of 84 to 110% with no significant difference to a C18 cartridge. GO-Cry can be reproducibly prepared with 2.8%RSD from 4 lots and can be reused at least 10 times, which not only helps reduce the analysis costs (~0.41USD per analysis), but also reduces the resultant waste to the environment.

A novel sorbent based on MIL-101(Cr) nanoadsorbent as MOF structure was used for nickel extraction from water and wastewater samples. In this study, 30 mg of MIL-101(Cr) nanoadsorbent dispersed in 50 mL of water or wastewater samples, after sonication and adjusting pH =8.5, the nickel ions was extracted by carboxyl groups of terephthalic acid (MOF-(C6H4 (COO)-2…. Ni2+) by dispersive suspension micro solid phase extraction (DS-μ-SPE).The MOF was separated from liquid phase with filter membrane (0.2 μm), eluted with 0.5 mL of nitric acid as back-extraction solution and finally, the nickel concentration in eluent determined by atom trap-flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AT-FAAS) after dilution with DW up to 1 mL.The LOD, the linear range and preconcentration factor were achieved 1.5 µg L−1, 5-160 µg L−1 and 49.7, respectively.The absorption capacity of MOF for nickel was obtained 136.8 mg g-1.The results of procedure were validated by spiking of samples and ET-AAS analyzer.

Agriculture waste is a good choice for the production of carbon dots owing to its abundance, wide availability, eco-friendly nature. In this study a novel magnetic bioadsorbent based on carbon quantum dots (Fe3O4-PPCQDs) from Pomegranate peel (PP) was used as adsorbent to remove lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) from 50 mL of water and wastewater samples by magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE). After adsorption ions with Fe3O4-PPCQDs at pH=6, the concentration of Pb(II) and Cd (II) ions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (F-AAS). The manufactured of Fe3O4-PPCQDs and GO nanostructures were structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),  and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The quantum dots were optically characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiment was conducted to examine the effects of pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from the water. The preconcentration factor and LOD for Cd and Pb were obtained 50, and (1.3 μg L-1; 15.5 μg L-1), respectively. The equilibrium data of ions sorption were well described by Langmuir and Freundlich model. The R2 values obtained by Langmuir model were higher. The absorption capacity of Fe3O4-PPCQDs for cadmium and lead were obtained 17.92 and 23.75 mg g-1, respectively.

Abstract Background Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a versatile sampling and sample preparation technology that possess a significant application in the extraction and pre-concentration of a broad range of micro-pollutants from different kind of matrices. Selection and preparation of an appropriate fiber substrate and coating materials have always been the main challenges of the SPME procedure. This paper introduces a high-efficiency metal-based SPME fiber with a new chemical coating of nickel/graphene oxide/nickel tetraazamacrocyclic complex (Ni/GO/NiTAM). Result The Ni/GO/NiTAM sorbent was electroless deposited onto the surface of an aluchrom (Alu) wire, and then the prepared fiber was employed for the extraction and pre-concentration of some PAHs before their HPLC–UV analysis. The prepared fiber characterization data were assessed using FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, FT-IR, and BET techniques. The method validation parameters, including the linearity range (LRs: 0.10 to 200.0 µg L−1), the limit of detection (LODs: 0.03‒0.30 µg L−1), and the limit of quantification (LOQs: 0.10–1.00 µg L−1), under optimal conditions. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of intra-day, inter-day, and single fiber repeatability (for the samples spiked at 25 µg L‒1) were in the range of 0.32–2.94, 1.20–4.09, and 1.42‒4.39%, respectively. In addition, the technique recoveries (RR %) and enrichment factors (EF) were in the range of 83.10‒107.80% and 83–164, respectively. Conclusion The fiber fabrication was simple, and the applied materials were also economical and easily accessible. Alu metal has high physicochemical and mechanical stability and thus can be a good alternative for the substrate of the fragile commercial SPME fibers. High rigidity and durability, long service life, and high extraction capability are some of the other advantages of the offered fiber.

Abstract A method is described for detecting and quantitating lincomycin residue in salmon muscle and skin tissues by ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) with electrochemical detection at +0.9 V. Lincomycin was extracted from tissues by homogenizing with 0.01 M KH2PO4 buffer (pH 4.5) and centrifuging the mixture. Water-soluble proteins were precipitated by adding sodium tungstate and sulfuric acid and removed by cent r if u gat ion. The buffer extract was then passed through a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge. Lincomycin was eluted with 50% acetonitrile in water, and the eluate containing lincomycin was extracted with ethyl acetate. After the solvent had evaporated, the residue was redissolved in mobile phase and analyzed by LC. The method had a limit of detection of 7 ng/g lincomycin for salmon muscle and 12 ng/g for salmon skin. The limit of quantitation was 17 ng/g for salmon muscle and 24 ng/g for salmon skin. Average recoveries of lincomycin spiked at 50,100, and 200 ng/g were ≥85% for salmon muscle and ≥80% for salmon skin.
