On-site marine oil spillage monitoring probes formed by fixing oxygen sensors into hydrophobic/oleophilic porous materials for early-stage spotty pollution warning.

ABSTRACT: In this study, an efficient on-site marine oil spillage monitoring probe was developed by fixing oxygen consumption sensors into hydrophobic/oleophilic oil-absorbing porous materials. The impact of thickness and characters of the porous materials, the types of spilled oil, and the presence of salts and vibration in water on the parameters of the obtained signals was investigated. The probe could be used to detect the various representative types of spilled oils including lubricating oil, corn oil, soybean oil, n-hexane, petroleum ether and toluene, even in simulated sea water vibrating at different levels, having over 33 times reduced reliable low detection limit (RLDL) in detecting soybean oil in water (from 36.5 g L^-1 to 1.1 g L^-1). The response time and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of the probe varied greatly with the dynamic absorbing speed and oxygen barrier property of the spilled oils in the porous material, respectively. The probe showing the highest SNR of 190 dB for a 50 g L^-1 on-site soybean oil spillage and the fastest response time of 9 s for a 50 g L^-1 on-site toluene spillage in water may potentially be used as a key component in near-shore marine oil spillage monitoring systems to provide early-stage pollution warning.

Project description:Porous agarose microbeads, with high surface to volume ratios and high binding densities, are attracting attention as highly sensitive, affordable sensor elements for a variety of high performance bioassays. While such polymer microspheres have been extensively studied and reported on previously and are now moving into real-world clinical practice, very little work has been completed to date to model the convection, diffusion, and binding kinetics of soluble reagents captured within such fibrous networks. Here, we report the development of a three-dimensional computational model and provide the initial evidence for its agreement with experimental outcomes derived from the capture and detection of representative protein and genetic biomolecules in 290 ?m porous beads. We compare this model to antibody-mediated capture of C-reactive protein and bovine serum albumin, along with hybridization of oligonucleotide sequences to DNA probes. These results suggest that, due to the porous interior of the agarose bead, internal analyte transport is both diffusion and convection based, and regardless of the nature of analyte, the bead interiors reveal an interesting trickle of convection-driven internal flow. On the basis of this model, the internal to external flow rate ratio is found to be in the range of 1:170 to 1:3100 for beads with agarose concentration ranging from 0.5% to 8% for the sensor ensembles here studied. Further, both model and experimental evidence suggest that binding kinetics strongly affect analyte distribution of captured reagents within the beads. These findings reveal that high association constants create a steep moving boundary in which unbound analytes are held back at the periphery of the bead sensor. Low association constants create a more shallow moving boundary in which unbound analytes diffuse further into the bead before binding. These models agree with experimental evidence and thus serve as a new tool set for the study of bioagent transport processes within a new class of medical microdevices.
