Article Abstract

A monolithic column with high affinity to fluorous compounds was prepared using a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) reagent as the cross-linker and pentadecafluorooctyl methacrylate (PDFOMA) as the functionality monomer. The pore properties and permeability could be tuned by the composition of the polymerization mixture. The characterization and evaluation results revealed that the obtained POSS-PDFOMA hybrid monolith owned the merits of POSS and PDFOMA with good mechanical stability, no residual silanol and high affinity to fluorous compounds. A series of perfluoroalkyl methacrylates were baseline resolved on the optimized monolithic column under isocratic elution of 70% acetonitrile aqueous solution. Such a resolution could not be achieved on a silica-based C18 monolithic column. A column efficiency of 30000N/m was observed. In addition, several perfluoroalkyl sulfonates were also baseline separated on the fluorous monolith applying 0.1% (v/v) acetic acid aqueous solution containing 75% acetonitrile as mobile phase without the addition of ammonium.

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology enables the flexible fabrication of integrated monolithic microextraction chips for high-throughput sample pretreatment. Meanwhile, the extraction performance of 3DP-based channels is largely limited by printer resolution and the commercially available printing materials. In this work, a 3DP array monolithic microextraction chip (AMC) was fabricated by integrating 26-array helical monolithic microextraction channels for sample pretreatment and 52-array gas valves for fluid control.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals that contaminate global drinking water resources. Their ubiquity and potential impact on human health motivate large-scale remediation. Conventional materials used to remove PFASs during drinking water production are functionally inefficient or energetically expensive, motivating the discovery of new materials and technologies.

Polymer monoliths are stationary-phase materials for liquid chromatography and solid-phase extraction. Their porous structure, tuneability and simple synthesis enable tailoring to specific analysis requirements in analytical chemistry. Typically, polymer monoliths are used to separate larger biomolecules.

Developing on-line hyphenated technique for the sensitive and accurate monitoring of heavy metal ions (HMs) is significant and interesting. In this connection, magnetic field-enhanced in-tube solid phase microextraction technique (ME/IT-SPME) was on-line hyphenated with HPLC system for the simultaneously quantitative analysis of Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Hg(II), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in various environmental samples. To enhance the ultraviolet sensitivity, the studied HMs were reacted with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (DDTC) to form HMs/DDTC complexes.

Driven by the need for smaller and more efficient continuous chromatographic systems, this study explores the feasibility of miniaturizing multi-column chromatography by integrating monolithic capillary columns directly into a 3D-printed valve rotor. First, monolith capillary ion-exchange columns were synthesized in PEEK capillaries with a diameter of 0.75 mm and a 3D-printed rotor system that can hold these capillary columns was developed.
