| Abstract: | Abstract A rapid determination method for trace bisphenol A in leachate by solid phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The experimental condition of SPME, such as select operation, solid phase microextraction fibers, pH, extraction time, extraction temperature, desorption time, desorption solution, mode, and the analytical conditions of HPLC were optimized. As compared with the graph that was produced by HPLC alone, the graph by only HPLC couldn't analyze bisphenol A and compared to the results of three solid‐phase microextraction fibers. The linear range was between 0.0128 mg/L and 0.192 mg/L in this method, and the correlative coefficient was 0.9975. Limits of detection, repeatability, and reproducibility were also determined. The limit of detection of this method was 3.25 µg/L (3σ, n=11). The relative standard deviation (RSD, n=3) was 4.4%. The method was used for the determination of trace bisphenol A in leachate of Qingshan landfill and leachate of Liufang landfill. The recoveries were between 94.5% and 103.3%. This method is fast, convenient, sensitive, solvent free, and suitable for the determination of trace bisphenol A in leachate. |
