The demand for the recovery of valuable metals and the need to understand the impact of heavy metals in the environment on human and aquatic life has led to the development of new methods for the extraction, recovery, and analysis of metal ions. With special emphasis on environmentally friendly approaches, efforts have been made to consider strategies that minimize the use of organic solvents, apply micromethodology, limit waste, reduce costs, are safe, and utilize benign or reusable materials. This review discusses recent developments in liquid- and solid-phase extraction techniques. Liquid-based methods include advances in the application of aqueous two- and three-phase systems, liquid membranes, and cloud point extraction. Recent progress in exploiting new sorbent materials for solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), and bulk extractions will also be discussed.

AbstractThe extraction of lipophilic wood extractives from pulp and paper process waters proves to be a challenging task, due to harsh and alternating process and sample conditions. This study has determined the potential use of polymeric sorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE) and compared to classical silica-based reversed-phase packed columns, with polymeric hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB) cartridges being the sorbent with the most potential. Recovery functions were obtained with an internal standard mixture representative for the main lipophilic wood extractive groups, which are fatty acids and alcohols, sterols, sterol esters and triglycerides. The impact of pH, sample volume and sample matrix, expressed as TOC and cations, on the retention behavior of lipophilic extractives during SPE of industrial samples were determined with polymeric HLB sorbent. High variations in the composition of pulp mill matrices led to different optimal extraction conditions. Thus, a new SPE protocol was developed, which bypasses matrix interferences and omits the loss of analytes due to sample preparation. The method is applicable to different pulp mill effluents with large discrepancies in pH and sample matrices, resulting in recoveries >90 % with RSD <5 % for all lipophilic wood extractives.

Solid-phase extraction embedded dialysis (SPEED technology) is an innovative procedure developed to physically separate in-situ, during the cultivation, the mycelium of filament forming microorganisms, such as actinomycetes and fungi, and the XAD-16 resin used to trap the secreted specialized metabolites. SPEED consists of an external nylon cloth and an internal dialysis tube containing the XAD resin. The dialysis barrier selects the molecular weight of the trapped compounds, and prevents the aggregation of biomass or macromolecules on the XAD beads. The external nylon promotes the formation of a microbial biofilm, making SPEED a biofilm supported cultivation process. SPEED technology was applied to the marine Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21, isolated from a core of a submerged Kopara sampled at 20 m from the border of a saltwater pond. The chemical space of this strain was investigated effectively using a dereplication strategy based on molecular networking and in-depth chemical analysis. The results highlight the impact of culture support on the molecular profile of Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21 secondary metabolites.

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with zwitterionic poly(ionic liquid)s were applied for dispersive solid-phase extraction of oligonucleotides. The materials were synthesized by miniemulsion copolymerization of ionic liquids and divinylbenzene on magnetic nanoparticles. The functional monomers contain a positively charged imidazolium ring and one of the anionic groups: derivatives of acetate, malonate, or butyl sulfonate ions. Adsorption of unmodified DNA oligonucleotide on obtained materials was possible in ion-exchange (IE) and hydrophilic interactions (HI) mode. The adsorption in IE was possible at low pH and was almost complete. The adsorption in HI mode required the usage of appropriate addition of organic solvent but did not provide full adsorption. Studies on the desorption of the analytes included determining the impact of ammonium acetate concentration and pH and organic solvents addition on the recovery. The material containing acetic fragments as an anionic group was selected for the final procedure with the use of 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH = 9.5)/methanol (50/50, v/v) as an elution solution. The magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction procedure was tested for the oligonucleotides with various modifications and lengths. Moreover, it was applied to extract DNA oligonucleotide and its synthetic metabolites from enriched human plasma without any pre-purification, with recoveries greater than 80%.
