Novel solid-phase membrane tip extraction and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry methods for the rapid analysis of triazine herbicides in real waters

Abstract

Novel, fast, selective, eco-friendly and reproducible solid-phase membrane tip extraction and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry methods were developed and validated for the analysis of triazine herbicides (atrazine and secbumeton) in stream and lake waters. The retention times of atrazine and secbumeton were 7.48 and 8.51 min. The solid-phase membrane tip extraction was carried out in semiautomated dynamic mode on multiwall carbon nanotubes enclosed in a cone-shaped polypropylene membrane cartridge. Acetone and methanol were found as the best preconditioning and desorption solvents, respectively. The extraction and desorption times for these herbicides were 15.0 and 10.0 min, respectively. The percentage recoveries of atrazine and secbumeton were 88.0 and 99.0%. The linearity range was 0.50-80.0 μg/L (r(2) > 0.994), with detection limits (<0.47 μg/L, S/N = 3) and good reproducibility (<8.0%). The ease of operation, eco-friendly nature, and low cost of solid-phase membrane tip extraction made these methods novel. The Solid-phase membrane tip extraction method was optimized by considering the effect of extraction time, desorbing solvents and time.

Development and validation of SPMMTE HPLC method for analysis of profens from human plasma

“…SPMMTE is an emerging alternative sample preparation technique. It controls all the drawbacks and, hence, scientists are attracted toward this technique (Sanagi et al , ). A literature survey indicated some papers on HPLC analyses of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and flurbiprofen.…”

Sorption, kinetics and thermodynamics studies of atrazine herbicide removal from water using iron nano-composite material

“…The bio-accumulation of atrazine into the food chain (animals and human beings) leads to various notorious health hazards and environmental effects. The most serious side effects of atrazine pollution are endocrine disruptor, teratogen, retarding sexual and embryo development, variations in pubertal growth in the living things (Chapin et al 1996;Munger et al 1997;Kniewald et al 2000 Atrazine is found in the ground water at several places of the world (Ritter 1990;Southwick et al 2002;Phyu et al 2004;Thorpe and Shirmohammadi 2005;Gilliom et al 2006;Sanagi et al 2015). The scientists, governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are very much concerned to this herbicide.…”

Analyses of acute kidney injury biomarkers by ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry

“…In view of these challenges,there is great need to develop more advanced sample preparation and chromatographic methods. Solid‐phase membrane tip extraction (SPMTE) is the latest development in the sample preparation for the analytes of extremely low concentrations . This method might be used for the sample preparation of the biomarkers.…”
