To meet the increasing demand for the separation of complex samples, a novel monolithic stationary phase with hydrophobic and hydrophilic functionalities was developed by using 3-(1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium) propane-1-sulfonate (VBIPS) as monomer, pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) as crosslinker. The optimized mixed-mode poly(VBIPS- co -PETA) monolith exhibited good mechanical strength, high permeability (K = 0.23 × 10 -14 m 2 in 100% ACN, 0.23 × 10 -14 m 2 in 100% MeOH, and 0.11 × 10 -14 m 2 in 100% H 2 O), and multiple interaction modes, including hydrophilic, hydrophobic, hydrogen, and electrostatic interactions. The highest column efficiency of 83,330 plates/m was achieved for thiourea at a linear velocity of 0.23 mm/s. Systematic evaluations confirmed strong retention and separation of polar substances (e.g., benzoic acids, nucleoside bases, phenols), primarily due to the sulfobetaine-derived hydrophilicity as well as effective separation of nonpolar substances (e.g., aniline, aryl ketones, polyaromatic hydroxy compounds), facilitated by π-π stacking interactions between analytes and benzene rings within the stationary phase. Overall, this zwitterionic imidazolium sulfonate-functionalized monolith successfully combines hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in a single continuous bed, enabling efficient separation of both polar and nonpolar analytes under low backpressure. This work enriches the library of mixed-mode stationary phases, and broadens the detection scope for complex sample analysis.

Applications of submicron-scale particles are of rising interest in separation science due to their favorable surface-to-volume ratio and their fabrication of highly ordered structures. The uniformly dense packing beds in columns assembled from nanoparticles combined with an electroosmotic flow-driven system has great potential in a highly efficient separation system. Here, we packed capillary columns using a gravity method with synthesized nanoscale C18-SiO2particles having diameters of 300–900 nm. The separation of small molecules and proteins was evaluated in the packed columns on a pressurized capillary electrochromatography platform. The run-to-run reproducibility regarding retention time and peak area for the PAHs using a column packed with 300 nm C18-SiO2particles were less than 1.61% and 3.17%, respectively. Our study exhibited a systematic separation analysis of small molecules and proteins based on the columns packed with submicron particles combined with the pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) platform. This study may provide a promising analytical approach with extraordinary column efficiency, resolution, and speed for the separation of complex samples.Keywords:submicron scale particles;pressurized capillary electrochromatography;separation

MXene-polyvinylpyrrolidone (MXene-PVP) was first prepared by physically doping combined with spray drying, which can overcome the aggregation of the MXene. Then, the MXene-PVP was carbonized to result in a carbonized MXene-PVP (MXene-PVP-C), which was then immobilized on stainless steel wire by sol–gel approach to prepare a new solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber. The prepared MXene-PVP-C coated fiber was studied for the extraction of 10 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from tea beverages by using SPME method prior to gas chromatographic detection. The main SPME parameters, including extraction temperature, extraction time, salt concentration, sample solution pH and stirring rate, were investigated by central composite design methodology. Under the optimized conditions, the developed method gave the limits of detection of 0.03–0.15 µg/L, and the limits of quantification of 0.10–0.50 µg/L for the PAHs. The method recoveries for the PAHs in spiked tea beverages ranged from 78.6 % to 122 %. The single-fiber and fiber-to-fiber relative standard deviations were lower than 8.2 % and 9.6 %, respectively.

Soot, mainly derived from incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and biomass, exists ubiquitously in different environmental matrixes. To study the detrimental effects of soot on climate, air quality, and human health, accurate quantification of soot is an important prerequisite. However, until now, quantification of soot in environmental media, especially in carbonaceous media, is still very challenging. Here, we report a matrix-free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) method for in situ imaging of soot particles in size-segregated aerosol samples collected on filter membranes. A series of round-shaped sample spots in filter membranes were selected and subjected to MS imaging analysis, enabling direct in situ quantification of soot without solvent extraction or separation. Especially, the MS imaging with serial sample spots can overcome the problems of sweet-spot in LDI-MS and inhomogeneous distribution of soot in the filter membrane, thus greatly improving the precision of quantification. The limit of detection of soot was 4 ng/m2 and the recovery was 84.4–126%. By using this method, we found that a higher soot content was present in larger-sized particulate matter than smaller-sized particles, suggesting that aerosol soot was mainly derived from primary emission sources. Furthermore, this method also shows the potential to analyze nitrate and sulfate species in PM2.5. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first method capable of simultaneous analysis of inorganic salts and soot in air samples. It represents a novel strategy for in situ quantification of aerosol soot with the advantages of high specificity, high sensitivity, separation-, solvent- and matrix-free.

In this work, a magnetic mesoporous molybdenum disulfide/graphite nanosheets (mm-MoS 2 /GN) was successfully synthesized and applied to magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from edible oil samples. The prepared mm-MoS 2 /GN was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, VSM, BET, SEM and TEM. The influence of various parameters such as the adsorbent mass, adsorption/desorption time, and elution solvent through response surface methodology in MSPE was investigated. The porous and fluffy structure with rich active sites (π interactions, electrostatics, hydrogen bonds) and amphiphilicity properties of mm-MoS 2 /GN make it an ideal material for the separation and enrichment of trace PAHs in edible oils. Under optimal MSPE and GC-MS conditions, the linearity ranges of the proposed method were 1.0–100.0 μg·kg −1 with a satisfactory correlation coefficient above 0.9907. The limits of detection and quantification for 13 PAHs were 0.10–2.50 μg·kg −1 and 0.85–5.00 μg·kg −1 , respectively. The intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 3.0 % and 3.6 %, respectively. The recoveries for spiked edible oil samples ranged from 70.2 % to 112.6 % with RSDs of less than 5.8 %. In this work, a novel, rapid, economic and effective method was proposed, and successfully applied to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in several oil samples from local market.

A novel magnetic single-layer nano-MXene (SNM@Fe 3 O 4 ) was prepared for the first time with small size, high surface area, abundant active sites and excellent energy absorption/transfer capability. The combined experimental and theoretical investigation revealed SNM@Fe 3 O 4 could be served as a highly effective adsorbent for enrichment and a new surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (SALDI-TOF-MS) matrix for rapid analysis of p -Phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants, a kind of emerging environmental contaminants, in actual water samples from North and South China. The SNM@Fe 3 O 4 -based SALDI-TOF-MS approach featured free matrix interference, acceptable linearity (R 2 ≥ 0.97), high sensitivity (LOD at ng mL −1 level) and qualified precision (RSD ≤ 8.46 %) for the four PPDs’ detection. The corresponding determined pollution levels also revealed the widespread occurrence of PPDs in Chinese water system. Compared to previous works, SNM@Fe 3 O 4 -based method achieved reproducible and more rapid analysis of PPDs in water, demonstrating a considerable potential of our self-synthesized nanomaterial for sensitive analysis of low-concentration organic small-molecule compounds in complicated sample matrix.

In the present study, silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with vancomycin (Fe3O4@SiO2@VAN) were synthesized. The Fe3O4@SiO2@VAN nanocomposite was used as a sorbent for the magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from environmental water, followed by GC-MS. The nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and nitrogen sorption. Various experimental parameters were optimized, including extraction condition and desorption condition. Results show that Fe3O4@SiO2@VAN combined the advantages of nanomaterials and magnetic separation technology, showing excellent dispersibility and high selectivity for PAHs in environmental water sample. Under the optimal extraction conditions, an analytical method was established with the sensitive limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03–0.16 μg L−1. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of environmental water samples. The relative standard deviations (%) were in the range of 0.50–12.82%, and the extraction recovery (%) was in the range of 82.48% and 116.32%. MSPE-coupled gas chromatography–mass spectrometry quantification of PAHs is an accurate and repeatable method for the monitoring of PAH accumulation in environmental water samples. It also provides an effective strategy for the tracing and quantification of other environmental pollutants in complex samples.Keywords:magnetic solid-phase extraction;polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons;vancomycin;GC-MS

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as phenanthrene , are a type of organic pollutants that exist widely in the environment. Of the currently known degradation methods, bioremediation is a desirable and feasible option. A novel Diaphorobacter sp. Strain MNS-0 was isolated from saponification wastewater and showed the ability to degrade phenanthrene, fluorene, acenaphthene, anthracene , benzo[ a ]anthracene, or chrysene using phenanthrene as the sole carbon source. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy analysis of catabolic intermediates indicates that phenanthrene degradation occurs through the phthalic acid pathway in strain MNS-0. Genome sequencing shows that strain MNS-0 has two plasmids and one chromosome containing a presumptive phenanthrene degradation gene cluster. Strain MNS-0 was able to completely degrade 100 mg/L phenanthrene within 40 h and tolerate up to 10 g/L NaCl at pH 9.0, while maintaining phenanthrene degradation activity. We thus propose that strain MNS-0 is an effective degrader for bioremediation of PAHs pollution, even in relatively harsh alkali environments such as saponification wastewater.

Although advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on persulfate (PS) is an attractive approach for repairing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soils, limited oxidizability of PAHs and efficient in-situ activation of PS hinder its practical applications. In this study, we comprehensively examined the contributions of five representative surfactants on the oxidative remediation of PAHs-contaminated soil in terms of degradation kinetics of the pollutants, and further proposed an innovative coupling strategy of surfactant-enhanced thermally activated PS remediating PAHs-contaminated soil. The results showed that the degradation process of PAHs in soil was significantly facilitated only via adding sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) and fitted the pseudo-first-order kinetic pattern. The removal of phenanthrene (PHE) reached 98.56% at 50 mM PS, 50 °C, 5 g L −1 SDBS and 48 h reaction time, accompanying an increase of 25% in reaction rate constant from 0.0572 h −1 (without SDBS) to 0.0715 h −1 . More importantly, SDBS-enhanced thermally activated PS degrading PAHs with higher benzene rings were more effective as the reaction rate constants of pyrene (PYR) and benzo(a)anthracene (BaA) were significantly increased by 49.40% and 56.86%. Additionally, only appropriate dosages (5–10 g L −1 ) of SDBS facilitated the oxidative degradation of PHE, as well as the aging time of contaminant-soil contact slowed down the enhancement of oxidative degradation of PHE by SDBS. Scavenger experiments demonstrated that SO 4 ·- and 1 O 2 were the dominant reactive oxygen species . Finally, a possible oxidative degradation pathway of PHE was proposed, and the toxicity of derived intermediates got alleviation by the assessment using the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool . This investigation was promising for in situ scale-up remediation of PAHs-contaminated soil.

Simple and rapid sensing of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) remains a great technical challenge due to their chemical stability and structural similarity. Here, a simple, sensitive and cost-effective sensing strategy is proposed to detect multiple PAHs by utilizing the inner filter effect (IFE) and a reusable fluorescent sensor array consisting of four polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite carbon quantum dots (CDs) film sensors. The CDs/PVA films have a wide and tunable excitation range, which provide sufficient spectral overlap with PAHs and ensure the efficient occurrence of IFE. Under different excitations, the diverse UV absorption capacities of PAHs resulted in diverse spectral responses , enabling a unique chemical fingerprint for each PAH. Upon multivariate pattern recognition analysis, the array rendered high-throughput discrimination and sensitive quantification of 16 priority PAHs with 100% classification accuracy and detection limit as low as 57 nM. Moreover, the rapid and accurate screening of multiple environmental samples were also realized with the results consistent with high-performance liquid chromatography . This IFE-based reusable array is readily prepared, green and feasible, which exhibits great potential in environmental analysis and brings an advanced strategy to high-throughput sensing of more pollutants with similar structures and lack of recognition sites.

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are an emerging class of environmental hazardous contaminants that extensively, stably exist in airborne particulate matter and pose harmful effects on human health. However, there was little research about the sources of EPFRs in actual atmospheric conditions. This study reported the occurrence, characteristics, and sources of EPFRs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM 2.5 collected in Dalian, China. The concentrations of PM 2.5 -bound EPFRs ranged from 1.13 × 10 13 to 8.97 × 10 15 spins/m 3 (mean value: 1.14 × 10 15 spins/m 3 ). Carbon-centered radicals and carbon-centered radicals with adjacent oxygen atoms were detected. The concentration of ∑PAHs ranged from 1.09 to 76.24 ng/m 3 , and PAHs with high molecular weight (HMW) were predominant species in PM 2.5 . Correlation of EPFRs with SO 2 , NO 2 , O 3 , and 12 kinds of PAHs indicated that both fuel (coal and biomass) combustion and photoreaction in atmosphere influenced the concentrations of EPFR. The positive matrix factorization (PMF) model results have shown that the primary sources contributed most of the EPFRs and those of secondary sources had a little proportion. Coal combustion (52.4%) was the primary contributor of EPFRs, followed by traffic emission (22.6%), industrial sources (9.6%), and secondary sources (9.2%) during the heating period, whereas industrial emission (39.2%) was the primary contributor, followed by coal combustion (38.1%), vehicular exhaust (23.5%), and secondary sources (9.6%) during the non-heating period. The finding of the present study provides an important evidence for further study on the formation mechanism of EPFRs in actual atmospheric to control the air pollution.

An inorganic-organic hybrid monolith incorporated with stellated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (SMSNs) was prepared. Using binary solvents, deep eutectic solvents and room temperature ionic liquids, an SMSN-incorporated poly(butyl methacrylate- co -ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith demonstrated uniform structure with good column permeability. A systematic investigation of preparation parameter was performed, including SMSN content, crosslinking monomer content, and the component of binary solvent. The optimized monoliths were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, area scanning energy dispersive spectrometry, and nitrogen adsorption. Column performance was tested by separating four groups of analytes (alkylbenzenes, anilines, naphthalenes and phenols) by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Baseline separation of all analytes was obtained with column efficiencies of up to 266,000 plates m −1 . The performance of the resulting monolith was further investigated in detail by separating mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and hydroxybenzoic acid isomers. Compared with the corresponding SMSN-free monolith, the CEC performance was improved by about six times. Successful extraction of PAHs and quinolones (QNs) were also performed using this capillary. Improved extraction efficiency (20.2%) for complex samples, lake water, was also found when the material was applied to solid phase microextraction of fluoranthene.
