Introduction • EDCs alter the normal functions of the endocrine system in humans and animals • They mimic the body's own hormones and lead to negative health effects • BPA is widely used in plastics (toxic) • NAA is a plant hormone used in plant rooting horticultural products, pesticides on fruits and vegetables (also toxic) • TC is used in soaps, toothpastes, detergents, hand sanitizers, mouth and dish washes
Introduction(continue) • PPCPs- wide class of chemical contaminants originate from human usage and veterinary applications • Three PPCPs analyzed MF, PF, and QS • Long-term exposure to low levels of PPCP residues could have adverse effects on aquatic ecosystem and human health (Environment Canada) • EDCs and PPCPs are found in aquatic environment from sewage treatment plant effluent, agricultural runoff, concentrated animal feed, landfill leachates, and urban runoff
Introduction(continue) • MNPs are currently attracting a wide range of applications in water treatment (not target selective in complex water matrices) • Target selective MNPs MNPs@PDA, MNPs@PPy
Chemical structures of target compounds MF BPA PF NAA TC QS
Researchobjectives • Synthesize MNPs, MNPs@PDA and MNPs@PPy nanoparicles • Characterize the particles by FTIR, SEM, TGA and XRD • Evaluate these magnetic nanoparticles for selective binding with BPA, NAA, MF, PF, TC, and QS in water by CE-UV • Study the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of BPA, TC and PF • Utilize these particles as magnetic sorbents for the preconcentration of target compounds in water analysis

Elution test of MNPs@PPy particles • A mixture of EtAc and MeOH (75:25, v/v) was selected as the eluting solvent • The % recoveries of the bound analytes were found to be 85±13% MF, 87±13% PF, 54±11% BPA, 52 ± 10% QS, 39 ±11% TC, and 37 ± 10% NAA Ref: J. Meng, J. Bu, C. Deng and X. Zhang, J. Chromatogr. A., 2011, 1218, 1585-1591.
Regeneration of MNPs@PPy particles • % Binding = 94±3% • % Recovery = 53±4%
Conclusion • High % binding (99 ± 1%) of MNPs@PPy with BPA, PF, TC, and QS were found due to π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions between PPy and analytes • Compared with unmodified MNPs, and MNPs@PDA, MNPs@PPy showed higher binding efficiency towards aromatic compounds as confirmed by in-capillary and in-vitro binding tests. • Using EtAc and MeOH (75:25,v/v) as eluting solvent , the % recoveries of target compounds are found to be between 87% and 37%
Conclusion (continue) • The higher adsorption capacity (Xm) of MNPs@PPy particles was obtained for BPA, PF, and TC • Demonstrating strong affinity and better performance of MNPs@PPy particles as adsorbents for efficient removal of these target compounds • The new coating of PPy on the used particles proved to be time saving and cost effective in recycling the used particles
Future work Chemical structures of common anticancer drugs • Investigate the binding interaction of these drugs with MNPs@PPy particles by CE-UV • The loaded particles can be used for specific drug delivery to target cancer cells
