AI Article Synopsis
- A new extraction method called D-μ-SPE was created to detect two antibiotics, ofloxacin and lomefloxacin, in biological and environmental samples using special nanoparticles.
- The study focused on optimizing various factors like surfactant concentration, pH, and extraction time to improve detection and extraction efficiency.
- Results showed high accuracy with extremely low detection limits (12 and 15 ng mL(-1) for the two drugs) and successful application in real biological samples like plasma and urine.
Article Abstract
A dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (D-μ-SPE) procedure coupled with surfactant-enhanced spectrofluorimetric detection was developed for determination of ofloxacin and lomefloxacin from biological and environmental samples. The D-μ-SPE procedure was performed using magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticle grafted multi-walled carbon nanotube as an efficient adsorbent. The main factors affecting the signal enhancement (including surfactant concentration and pH) and extraction efficiency (including pH, extraction time, sample volume, amount of magnetic adsorbent, and desorption conditions) were investigated in detail. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration curves were linear (R(2)˃0.9995) over the concentration range of 50-450 ng mL(-1) with detection limits (LOD) of 12 and 15 ng mL(-1) for ofloxacin and lomefloxacin respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD %) of 1.9 and 2.1% (C=100 ng mL(-1), n=5) and the enrichment factor of 192 and 188 were achieved for ofloxacin and lomefloxacin respectively. Finally, the method was successfully applied to the extraction and preconcentration of these drugs in biological (plasma and urine) samples.

The Zn/Zr-MOFs were synthesized via microwave-assisted ball milling and subsequently characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability of the Zn/Zr-MOFs was evaluated through thermogravimetry (TGA). The results demonstrated the exceptional adsorption properties of the Zn/Zr-MOFs towards Lomefloxacin hydrochloride and Levofloxacin hydrochloride.

Building a heterojunction is a fascinating option to guarantee sufficient carrier separation and transfer efficiency, but the mechanism of charge migration at the heterojunction interface has not been thoroughly studied. Herein, MIL-53(Fe)/BiOI photocatalyst with a Z-scheme heterojunction structure is constructed, which achieves efficient photocatalytic decontamination under solar light. Driven by the newly-built internal electric field (IEF), the formation of Fe-O-Bi electron migration channel allows for rapid separation and transfer of charge carriers at the heterojunction interface, confirmed by the material characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation.

The fluoroquinolones ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enoxacin, levofloxacin and lomefloxacin, occur in water bodies worldwide and therefore pose a threat to the aquatic environment. Advanced purification procedures, such as electrochemical oxidation, may act as a remedy since they contribute to eliminating contaminants and prevent micropollutants from entering open water bodies. By electrochemical treatment in a micro-flow reactor equipped with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, the fluoroquinolones were efficiently degraded.

Antibiotics easily remain in sediments after migrating from the surface to the subsurface due to water-rock interactions, posing a risk of secondary release to groundwater. To investigate the vertical distribution characteristics and environmental impact factors of antibiotics, five 30 m quaternary sediment columns were drilled and stratified near the hospital, and five major classes of antibiotics and sulfonamide metabolites were tested and analyzed. The results showed that:① the antibiotic content in the sediments ranged from 3.
