Determination of Biodegradation Process of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes in Seabed Sediment by Purge and Trap Gas Chromatography

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) are commonly found in crude oil and are used in geochemical investigations as direct indicators of the presence of oil and gas. BTEX are easily volatile and can be degraded by microorganisms, which affect their precise measurement seriously. A method for determining the biodegradation process of BTEX in seabed sediment using dynamic headspace (purge and trap) gas chromatography with a photoionization detector (PID) was developed, which had a detection limit of 7.3–13.2 ng L^?1 and a recovery rate of 91.6–95.0%. The decrease in the concentration of BTEX components was monitored in seabed sediment samples, which was caused by microorganism biodegradation. The results of BTEX biodegradation process were of great significance in the collection, transportation, preservation, and measurement of seabed sediment samples in the geochemical investigations of oil and gas.

A method for determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in urine is described. Determination is performed by dynamic headspace (purge and trap) gas chromatography with photoionization detection. The features of the described method, i.e. detection limits of 15–35 ng L^–1, relative standard deviations of 0.2–10%, accuracy of 80–100%, removal of interference of many compounds present in urine, sharp chromatographic peaks because of cryogenic refocusing, no sample preparation, make it convenient for biological monitoring of exposure to low levels of BTEX. However, the method is time‐consuming and sophisticated.     

Analysis of BTEX, PAHs and metals in the oilfield produced water in the State of Sergipe, Brazil

During oil and gas exploitation, large amounts of produced water are generated. This water has to be analyzed with relation to the chemical composition to deduce the environmental impact of its discharge after a treatment process. Therefore, a study was carried out to evaluate preliminarily the BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals contents in produced water samples taken from effluents of the Bonsucesso treatment plant located in the city of Carmópolis, the most important oil and gas producer in the State of Sergipe, North-east of Brazil. Three methods were optimized to determine the target compounds. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS), volatile aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) by gas chromatography with photoionization detector (GC/PID) and metals were analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The results showed that concentrations of the target compounds in these samples ranged from 96.7 to 1397 μg L^− 1 for BTEX, from 0.9 to 10.3 μg L^− 1 for PAHs and from 0.003 to 4540 mg L^− 1 for metals.     

Field analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene in water by portable gas chromatography-microflame ionization detector combined with headspace solid-phase microextraction

In this work, portable gas chromatography-microflame ionization detection (portable GC-μFID) coupled to headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was developed for the field analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) in water samples. The HS-SPME parameters such as fiber coating, extraction times, stirring rate, the ratio of headspace volume to sample volume, and sodium chloride concentration were studied. A 65 μm poly(dimethylsiloxane)-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB) SPME fiber, 900 rpm, 3.0 ml of headspace (1.0 ml water sample in 4.0 ml vial), and 35% sodium chloride concentration (w/v) were respectively chosen for the best extraction response. An extraction time of 1.0 min was enough to extract BTEX in water samples. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for the procedure varied from 5.4% to 8.3%. The method detection limits (MDLs) found were lower than 1.5 μg/l, which was enough sensitive to detect the BTEX in water samples. The optimized method was applied to the field analysis of BTEX in wastewater samples. These experiment results show that portable GC-μFID combined with HS-SPME is a rapid, simple and effective tool for field analysis of BTEX in water samples.     

Large Volume Headspace Analysis Using Solid-Phase Microcolumn Extraction

A rapid and simple large volume headspace (HS) sampling technique termed headspace solid-phase microcolumn extraction (HS-SPMCE) is described. HS gas above a liquid or solid sample is aspirated by attaching a gas-tight syringe onto a glass thermal desorption tube filled with Tenax sorbent. The trapped analytes are recovered by thermal desorption for gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and the xylene isomers (BTEX) are used as model compounds to demonstrate the application of the extraction procedure for water samples. The results of the tests of the effect of agitation time and aspiration rate on recovery of the analytes show a good robustness of the method. BTEX are determined in the linear range from 0.5 to 50.0 μg L^?1 with limits of detection (3 σ) ranging within 0.09–0.14 μg L^?1 (MS was in scan mode). The method provides a good repeatability (RSD < 9%) and only a negligible carryover effect was observed ( ≤0.05%) when analysing BTEX at concentration 50.0 μg L^?1.     

Remote optical fibre microsensor for monitoring BTEX in confined industrial atmospheres

A portable optical fibre sensor has been developed for remote monitoring of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, m-xylene and o-xylene (BTEX). Firstly, the analyser was tested for calibration and its analytical performance for BTEX monitoring compared with a more classical analytical method, namely gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The developed remote sensor shows several analytical advantages such as, high analytical sensitivity and accuracy, good linearity and stability of the analytical signal and short analytical time. Secondly, the optical fibre based sensor was applied to air monitoring for detection and quantification of BTEX in a confined industrial environment. The analytical signal measurement was performed by wireless at 20 m of distance from the local of analysis. Besides, the reported sensor showed a high degree of portability, compact design and high analytical performance for remote BTEX monitoring, in situ and in real-time.     

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistor detector associated to gas chromatography for speciation of benzene,toluene, ethylbenzene, (o-, m- and p-)xylene

An analytical methodology based on a field-effect transistor detector using carbon nanotubes (NTFET) coupled to a gas chromatograph has been developed for the speciation of the following aromatic compounds: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, p-xylene and o-xylene (BTEX). This methodology combines the proven separation capability of gas chromatography (GC) with the potential for detection of a NTFET. The developed analyzer shows a high and stable analytical response upon repeated analysis of BTEX during 4 weeks, with detection limit less than 4 μg/L. The GC–NTFET system also shows a great suitability for actual monitoring of indoor atmospheres and no significant difference was observed between the results obtained by the developed analyzer and a more classical analytical methodology, namely gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID).     

Direct atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry for the continuous real-time trace analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes in ambient air

Real-time monitoring of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in ambient air is essential for the early warning detection associated with the release of these hazardous chemicals and in estimating the potential exposure risks to humans and the environment. We have developed a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method for continuous real-time determination of ambient trace levels of BTEX. The technique is based on the sampling of air via an atmospheric pressure inlet directly into the atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source. The method is linear over four orders of magnitude, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.996. Low limits of detection in the range 1–2 μg/m³ are achieved for BTEX. The reliability of the method was confirmed through the evaluation of quality parameters such as repeatability and reproducibility (relative standard deviation below 8% and 10%, respectively) and accuracy (over 95%). The applicability of this method to real-world samples was evaluated through measurements of BTEX levels in real ambient air samples and results were compared with a reference GC-FID method. This direct APCI-MS/MS method is suitable for real-time analysis of BTEX in ambient air during regulation surveys as well as for the monitoring of industrial processes or emergency situations.
