Fluorene is a priority pollutant in water listed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A fluorescent probe using Eu(III)-marked polystyrene nanoparticles (EuNPs) labelled with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) was synthesized and an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on the probe (EuNPs-MAb) was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of fluorene in water samples. The concentration of fluorene was inversely proportional to fluorescence intensity values of T-line in the range 0.98–62.50 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) for quantitative detection of fluorene was 0.09 ng/mL. Recoveries of fluorene in various water samples ranged from 81.50% to 103.00% and coefficients of variation (CVs) were below 13%, which were in a good agreement with those of traditional ELISA (R 2 = 0.99). The assay can be performed within 30 min. The integrated ICA strip gave higher sensitivity and reliable reproducibility. It could be a potential method for rapid and sensitive detection of fluorene in water samples.

A porous crosslinked starch polymer (CSTO) using bitolylene diisocyanate as crosslinker was prepared by a facile method and used to selectively recover acetophenone (AP) from petrochemical effluent mainly containing AP and 1-phenylethanol (PE). The theoretical calculation results indicated that AP exhibited the superior affinity toward the adsorption sites of CSTO through noncovalent interactions. The adsorption measurements showed that, due to the large surface area and high affinity of phenyl rings, CSTO displayed an extremely rapid adsorption rate, a desirable adsorption capacity and selectivity to AP. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms in single solute system agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model, and the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. Furthermore, CSTO showed excellent reusability for selective adsorption of AP from equimolar mixture of AP/PE, prompting us to further examine its applicability. In the practical application, CSTO also revealed a fast, preferential and reusable adsorption of AP from actual petrochemical effluent.

A novel hybrid material was prepared by grafting β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto the surface of oxidized AC for the rapid adsorption of naphthalene . AC and CDACs were characterized using the N 2 adsorption–desorption method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and solid state CP MAS 13 C NMR. All the results demonstrate that β-CD grafted successfully onto AC. Batch experimental adsorption datas had a higher correlation to Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium capacity of 178.73 mg·g −1 was reached in just 10 s at an AC/β-CD grafting ratio value of 1:1. It had a faster adsorption rate than many reported adsorbents. Additionally, the positive free energy change (∆G°), and the positive enthalpy change (∆H°) suggest that it is a viable, spontaneous and endothermic process, which will provided a new path to a highly-efficient and fast-adsorption-rate adsorbent for naphthalene or its analogues discharged into the environment.

A series of titanium-aluminum binary oxides are prepared through co-precipitation of metal salts with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in alkaline solution, along with dehydration. Most of synthetic oxides are composed of micro- or nano-sized blocks, while one of them shows an interesting two-dimensional morphology. Furthermore, loading of aluminum into co-precipitation would increase product porosity compared with the non-loaded case, while addition of PVP shows influences on building micropores of synthetic oxide. In catalysis, the synthetic oxides usually show high activities for nitration of various arenes. The key factors affecting catalytic outputs are carefully discussed, and the matching relation between shape of substrate and pore distribution of catalyst may affect catalytic efficiency too. Moreover, the binary oxide featuring PVP shows more durable recycling behavior than the non-doped one. On the other hand, nitration reactions of naphthalene and benzene halides show better stereoselectivities than those of alkylbenzenes. In general, this study may contribute to the catalytic progress of new oxide materials.

The present study reported a facile, sensitive, and efficient method for enrichment and determination of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in food samples by employing new core–shell nanostructure magnetic covalent organic framework hybrid microspheres (Fe3O4@COF-(TpBD)) as the sorbent followed by HPLC-DAD. Under mild synthetic conditions, the Fe3O4@COF-(TpBD) were prepared with the retention of colloidal nanosize, larger specific surface area, higher porosity, uniform morphology, and supermagnetism. The as-prepared materials showed an excellent adsorption ability for PAHs, and the enrichment efficiency of the Fe3O4@COF-(TpBD) could reach 99.95%. The obtained materials also had fast adsorption kinetics and realized adsorption equilibrium within 12 min. The eluent was further analyzed by HPLC-DAD, and good linearity was observed in the range of 1–100 ng/mL with the linear correlation being above 0.9990. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) and limits of quantitation (S/N = 10) for 15 PAHs were in the range of 0.83–11.7 ng/L and 2.76–39.0 ng/L, respectively. For the application, the obtained materials were employed for the enrichment of trace PAHs in food samples and exhibited superior enrichment capacity and excellent applicability.

Aflatoxins are highly toxic mycotoxin contamination, which pose serious food safety incidents. It is very important to precisely and rapidly determine trace aflatoxins in food. In this study, we designed porous monolithic column based on covalent cross-linked polymer gels for online extraction and analysis of trace aflatoxins in food samples with complicated matrices coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV). The prepared monolithic column showed excellent enrichment performance due to its good permeability, good reproducibility and long life span. The study of adsorption mechanism suggested that the excellent enrichment performance of this monolithic column was attributed to the multiple effect of π-π stacking interaction, hydrophobic effect and steric effect. When the online analytical method was applied for the determine of trace aflatoxins in real food samples, aflatoxins G 1 and aflatoxins B 1 could be actually found in one positive bean sauce sample and quantified to be 32.8 and 26.4 μg/kg, respectively. Aflatoxins G 1 in one bean sample could be also found and quantified to be 25.9 μg/kg. The low detection limits of the developed method were achieved in range of 0.08-0.2 μg/kg. And the recoveries for spiked samples were in range from 76.1 to 113% with RSDs of 1.1-9.6%. The developed method was proved to be a promising method for online enrichment and analysis of trace aflatoxins in complicated food samples.

A mixed-mode polymer monolithic column functionalized by arsonic acid groups was prepared by single-step in situ copolymerization of monomers p -methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid ( p -MAPHA) and pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA). The prepared poly( p -MAPHA- co -PETA) monolithic column has a homogeneous monolithic structure with good permeability and mechanical stability. Zeta potential measurements reveal that the monolithic stationary phase holds a negative surface charge when the mobile phase resides in the pH range of 3.0–8.0. The retention mechanisms of prepared monolithic column are explored by the separation of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nucleosides, and three basic compounds. The results indicate that the column functions in three different separation modes associated with reversed-phase chromatography based on hydrophobic interaction, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, and cation-exchange chromatography. The column efficiency of prepared monolithic column is estimated to be 70,000 and 76,000 theoretical plates/m for thiourea and naphthalene, respectively, at a linear flow velocity of 0.85 mm/s using acetonitrile/H 2 O (85/15, v/v) as the mobile phase. Furthermore, an analysis of the retention factors obtained for the PAHs indicates that the prepared monolithic column exhibits good reproducibility with relative standard deviations of 2.9%, 4.0%, and 4.7% based on run-to-run injections, column-to-column preparation, and batch-to-batch preparation, respectively. Finally, we investigate the separation performance of the proposed monolithic column for select phenols, sulfonamides, nucleobases and nucleosides.

Herein, a novel amphiphilic diblock copolymer consisting of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) and 1,4-trans-polybutadiene-graft-poly(ethylene oxide) (1,4-trans-PBD-g-PEO), iPS-b-(1,4-trans-PBD-g-PEO), was synthesized by the combination of living coordination copolymerization and graft copolymerization. iPS-b-1,4-trans-PBD was firstly synthesized via sequential monomer addition in the presence of 1,4-dithiabutandiyl-2,2′-bis(6-cumenyl-4-methylphenoxy) titanium dichloride (complex 1) activated by triisobutyl aluminum modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO). Moreover, hydroboration of double bonds in the 1,4-trans-PBD blocks were performed with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) and subsequent oxidation by NaOH/H2O2 to form hydroxyls. Consequently, PEO was grafted into the hydroxylated 1,4-trans-PBD block in terms of ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide with potassium/naphthalide as initiatior. We also described solvent-evaporation-induced self-assembly of iPS-b-1,4-trans-PBD in n-dodecane and iPS-b-1,4-trans-PBD-g-PEO in aqueous solution, which were selective solvent for 1,4-trans-PBD and for 1,4-trans-PBD-g-PEO blocks, respectively. In these cases, tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as good and volatile solvent. These resultant iPS-containing diblock copolymers could self-assemble into spherical nano-micelles with an iPS core as amorphous agglomeration or a very low degree of crystallinity resulting from slow crystallization rate and nanoconfinement. In addition, after isothermal crystallization of iPS in the micellar cores self-assembled in n-dodecane at 120 °C for 3 hours, the micellar morphology changed from sphere-like to platelet-like. It was believed that isothermal crystallization of iPS induced the deformation of the micelles.

In the present study, the narrow-dispersed penetrable poly(methacrylic acid- co -ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly(MAA- co -EDMA)) microspheres were successfully synthesized based on the sacrificial support method. The poly(MAA- co -EDMA) microspheres mirrored the porous structure of the sacrificial support, i.e. penetrable silica, characteristic of copious mesopores and throughpores. In addition, they possessed large surface area, adjustable hydrophobicity and the cation-exchange ability. Owing to their multi functionalities, they were applied as chromatographic stationary phase to separate proteins in different separation modes, including reversed phase, hydrophobic interaction and weak cation exchange. Moreover, thanks to their throughpores, fast separation at low column backpressure could be achieved in these three modes. Both protein recovery and column stability were satisfactory. The penetrable poly(MAA- co -EDMA) microspheres were potential stationary phase matrix for fast protein separation.

Low-cost and efficient activated carbon (AC) was prepared fromTypha orientalisvia phosphoric acid activation for chloramphenicol (CAP) removal. The adsorption capacity and mechanisms of CAP on AC were investigated. The physicochemical properties of AC were characterized by an N2adsorption/desorption isotherm, elemental analysis, Boehm’s titration and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of experimental parameters were investigated to study the adsorption behaviors of CAP on AC, including contact time, initial concentration, ionic strength, and initial pH. AC had a micro-mesoporous structure with a relatively large surface area (794.8 m2/g). The respective contents of acidic and basic functional groups on AC were 2.078 and 0.995 mmol/g. The adsorption kinetic that was well described by a pseudo-second-order rate model implied a chemical controlling step. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted with the Freundlich isotherm model, and the maximum CAP adsorption capacity was 0.424 mmol/g. The ionic strength and pH had minimal effects on CAP adsorption. The dominant CAP adsorption mechanisms on AC were evaluated and attributed to π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction, hydrophobic interaction, in conjunction with hydrogen-bonding interaction. Additionally, AC exhibited an efficient adsorption performance of CAP in a realistic water environment.Keywords:activated carbon;adsorption;chloramphenicol;mechanism;antibiotic

In this work, a novel nanoscale graphitic carbon nitride hybridized with copper oxide (nano-g-C 3 N 4 /CuO) composite was prepared and used as the coating of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for the first time. The coating was applied to adsorption and preconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and pyrene from water and soil prior to gas chromatography (GC) analysis. Compared with pristine nanoscale graphitic carbon nitride (nano-g-C 3 N 4 ) or copper oxide (CuO), the as-prepared nano-g-C 3 N 4 /CuO composite as the coating of SPME provided the best adsorption affinity for PAHs. Moreover, the extraction efficiencies of the nano-g-C 3 N 4 /CuO coated fibers were much higher than that of bulk-g-C 3 N 4 /CuO hybrids. The developed method exhibited excellent linearity for target analytes in the range of 0.1–1000 ng/mL with determination coefficient (R 2 ) not lower than 0.9944. The limits of detection (LODs) of the established method for the analysis of PAHs were achieved between 0.025 and 0.40 ng/mL. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for three replicate extractions with one fiber were determined from 2.5% to 7.3%. The fiber-to-fiber reproducibility (n = 3) was 5.4–12.8%. The prepared coating also demonstrated excellent thermal and chemical stability. The method was successfully applied to analysis of target analytes in water and soil samples and the corresponding contents were calculated between 0.07 and 1.58 μg/g.

This study reports a novel strategy for the preparation of porous aromatic framework (PAF-6) coated magnetic nanoparticles (PAF-6 MNPs) using cyanuric chloride as a planar trigonal basis upon which to build a linear piperazine linker unit. The PAF-6 MNPs were examined as an efficient solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for enrichment of trace organic pollutants including phenol, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, naphthalene, naphthol, bisphenol A, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 3-nitrochlorobenzene in water. The high-performance liquid chromatography detection limits of such analytes were in the range of 0.08–5.02 ng/mL and recoveries were found to be 84.0–94.0% in well water, tap water, river water and wastewater. The main toxic components of cigarette smoke, including phenolic compounds and benzo[a]pyrene, are efficiently adsorbed by PAF-6 MNPs, and over 50% of such toxins are removed. Theoretical computations were performed to understand the molecular interaction mechanism between PAF-6 and such analytes. The results demonstrate that the PAF-6 MNPs sorbents show excellent adsorption of phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitroaromatics based on multiple π-π stacking and hydrogen-bond interactions. These results suggest that the PAF-6 MNPs can be applied to extraction, removal and determination of diverse trace multi-target analytes from complex media.
