Detection of Phthalate Esters in Environmental Water Samples-Comparison of Nylon6 Nanofibers Mat-based Solid Phase Extraction and Other Conventional Extraction Methods

In this article, a new method for simultaneous determination of six phthalate esters was developed by a combination of electrospun nylon6 nanofibers mat‐based solid phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography‐ultraviolet detector (HPLC‐UV). The six phthalate esters were dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di‐n‐butyl phthalate (DBP), di‐(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Under optimized conditions, all target analytes in 50 mL environmental water samples could be completely extracted by 2.5 mg nylon6 nanofibers mat and eluted by 100 µL solvent. Compared with C18 cartridges solid phase extraction, C18 disks solid phase extraction and national standard method (China), nylon6 nanofibers mat‐based solid phase extraction was advantageous in aspects of simple and fast operation, low consumption of extraction materials and organic solvents. The four methods were applied to analysis of environment water samples. All the results indicated that the determination values of target compounds with the proposed method were consistent with C18 cartridges and C18 disks solid phase extraction method, and the new method was better than the national standard method in aspects of recovery, LOD and precision. Therefore, nylon6 nanofibers mat has great potential as a novel material for solid phase extraction.

Multivariate optimization of a solid-phase microextraction method for the analysis of phthalate esters in environmental waters

A solid-phase microextraction method (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed for the determination of the six phthalate esters included in the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Priority Pollutants list in water samples. These compounds are dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP). Detailed discussion of the different parameters, which could affect the extraction process, is presented. Main factors have been studied and optimized by means of a multifactor categorical design. Different commercial fibers, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB), polyacrylate (PA), Carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (CAR-PDMS) and Carbowax-divinylbenzene (CW-DVB), have been investigated, as well as the extraction mode, exposing the fiber directly into the sample (DSPME) or into the headspace over the sample (HS-SPME), and different extraction temperatures. The use of this experimental design allowed for the evaluation of interactions between factors. Extraction kinetics has also been studied. The optimized microextraction method showed linear response and good precision for all target analytes. Detection limits were estimated considering the contamination problems associated to phthalate analysis. They were in the low pg mL(-1), excluding DEHP (100 pg mL(-1)). The applicability of the developed SPME method was demonstrated for several real water samples including mineral, river, industrial port and sewage water samples. All the target analytes were found in real samples. Levels of DEP and DEHP were over 1 ng mL(-1) in some of the samples.     

Determination of phthalates and adipate in bottled water by headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

The performance of three fibres for the headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA) and eight phthalates in water was investigated systematically under different extraction conditions. Good responses on the 65 microm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) SPME fibre were observed for DEHA and all phthalates. The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) SPME fibre had very poor responses for the lighter and slightly polar phthalates, dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP), while the divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) SPME fibre had very poor responses for the heavier and non-polar adipate and phthalates. The salt (NaCl) was found to increase the partitioning of DMP, DEP, diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP), di-n-butyl phthalate, and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) from water into the headspace, while partitioning of heavier adipate and phthalates from water into headspace was suppressed when the concentration of NaCl was above 10%. The automated headspace SPME methods were developed and validated under two different salting conditions (30% NaCl for DMP, DEP and BBP, and 10% for DEHA, DiBP, DBP, di-n-hexyl phthalate (DHP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP)). Linearity with R(2) values better than 0.9949 was observed for DEHA and eight phthalates over the range from 0.1 to 20 microg L(-1). Method detection limits ranged from 0.003 microg L(-1) for DOP to 0.085 microg L(-1) for BBP. Good repeatability was observed for DEHA and most phthalates with relative standard deviation (RSD) values less than 10%. The methods were used to analyse bottled water samples for DEHA and eight phthalates. DMP, DHP, BBP, DEHA and DOP were not detected in any samples. Concentrations of the other phthalates were low (around sub-ppb) except for DBP in the water from a polycarbonate bottle at 1.72 microg L(-1).

Simultaneous screening and determination eight phthalates in plastic products for food use by sonication-assisted extraction/GC-MS methods

Studies on determination of eight kinds of phthalates, e.g. di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), di-propyl phthalate (DPP), di-isobutyl phthalate (DIBP), di-butyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), di-cyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-octyl phthalate (DOP), in 25 kinds of plastic products for food use, including packaging bags, packaging film, containers, boxes for microwave oven use, sucking tubes, spoons, cups, plates, etc. by gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS) in electronic ionisation mode (EI) with selected-ion monitoring (SIM) acquisition method (GC-MS (EI-SIM)) have been carried out. Methods have been developed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of phthalates. Extraction, clean-up and analysis procedure have been optimized. Determination of samples were performed after frozen in liquid nitrogen and sonication-assisted extraction with hexane, clean-up with LC-C18 SPE and analyzed by GC-MS methods. The base peak (m/z = 149) of all the phthalates was selected for the screening studies. The characteristic ions, 121, 177, 222 for DEP; 191, 209 for DPP; 57, 223 for DIBP; 104 for DBP; 91, 132, 206 for BBP; 55, 167 for DCHP; 113, 167, 279 for DEHP; 279 for DOP were chosen for quantitative studies. These techniques are possible to detect phthalates at the level of 10.0 μg/kg. Overall recoveries were 82-106% with R.S.D. values at 3.8-10.2%. Only one of the 25 examined samples was free from phthalates. The rest 24 samples were found to contain at least three or more of these phthalates. The predominant phthalate detected in the studied samples was DEHP.

Analysis of trace contamination of phthalate esters in ultrapure water using a modified solid-phase extraction procedure and automated thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

The present study was aimed to develop a procedure modified from the conventional solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for the analysis of trace concentration of phthalate esters in industrial ultrapure water (UPW). The proposed procedure allows UPW sample to be drawn through a sampling tube containing hydrophobic sorbent (Tenax TA) to concentrate the aqueous phthalate esters. The solid trap was then demoisturized by two-stage gas drying before subjecting to thermal desorption and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This process removes the solvent extraction procedure necessary for the conventional SPE method, and permits automation of the analytical procedure for high-volume analyses. Several important parameters, including desorption temperature and duration, packing quantity and demoisturizing procedure, were optimized in this study based on the analytical sensitivity for a standard mixture containing five different phthalate esters. The method detection limits for the five phthalate esters were between 36 ng l(-1) and 95 ng l(-1) and recovery rates between 15% and 101%. Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) was not recovered adequately because the compound was both poorly adsorbed and desorbed on and off Tenax TA sorbents. Furthermore, analyses of material leaching from poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) tubes as well as the actual water samples showed that di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were the common contaminants detected from PVC contaminated UPW and the actual UPW, as well as in tap water. The reduction of DEHP in the production processes of actual UPW was clearly observed, however a DEHP concentration of 0.20 microg l(-1) at the point of use was still being quantified, suggesting that the contamination of phthalate esters could present a barrier to the future cleanliness requirement of UPW. The work demonstrated that the proposed modified SPE procedure provided an effective method for rapid analysis and contamination identification in UPW production lines.
