Affinity-Based Methods for the Analysis of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater and Related Samples

Contaminants in Drinking and Wastewater Sources

Abstract

The presence of emerging man-made contaminants in wastewater and water sources in the environment is a growing problem worldwide. Affinity chromatography is one approach that has been explored for the detection and analysis of such compounds. This approach is a chromatographic technique in which target analytes are captured based on their selective interactions with a biologically related binding agent that has been immobilized onto a support and placed within a column. Various forms of affinity chromatography have been utilized for the analysis of emerging contaminants in wastewater and the environment. Binding agents such as antibodies, molecularly imprinted polymers, and chiral stationary phases have been employed in this work, with the latter including macrocyclic antibiotics, proteins, and polysaccharide derivatives. Each of these binding agents is considered in this chapter with regards to their applications for emerging contaminants in water. Formats in which these binding agents have been used will also be described, such as off-line or online extraction, chromatographic immunoassays, and methods in which affinity chromatography has been combined with liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Other binding agents, such as aptamers and boronates, will also be briefly described that may be employed in future work with affinity-based separations for the analysis of emerging contaminants in water.
