Abstract

 A smartphone app-based monitoring tool was developed for the detection of anionic surfactants (AS), including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Akin to the methylene blue active substances (MBAS), liquid-phase extraction (LPE) is employed to extract the hydrophobic ionpair of dye (ethyl violet)-AS to an organic phase (ethyl acetate). 


The colour (RGB) of the organic phase is read using a smartphone camera with the help of a reading kit. The value of RGB is carefully corrected and linked to the concentration of ASs with a standard deviation of <10% in the 10-1000 ppb (part per billion) range. 


With the vortex fluid device (VFD) technology, the effectiveness of LPE process has significantly increased, which can decrease the ASs detection concentration 100-600 times and significantly decrease the extraction time to less than 1 minute with the same smartphone app. 


In order to avoid the interference arising from inorganic anions, such as those found in tap water and groundwater, the water sample is pre-treated by dual liquid-phase extraction (dual-LPE), which takes ~5 min. 


The organic phase of the first LPE (equilibrium with water sample) is transferred and subjected to a second LPE (equilibrium with Milli-Q water) to remove any potential background interference. 


Consequently, the smartphone app can detect PFOA spiked in tap/groundwater with an LOD of 10 ppb (~12 nM, dual-LPE of ~5 min), suggesting that it has the potential to succeed as a pre-screening tool for on-site application and in common laboratory tests. Further/future development has also been discussed in this presentation.
