The present paper describes the use of different solvent mixtures to extract from fish various sulfophenylcarboxylic acids (SPCs of C6 to C13), and their originating compounds, linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS of C10 to C13). The analytical method utilized involves pressurized liquid extraction, followed by preconcentration of the samples, purification by solid-phase extraction, and finally identification and quantification of the target compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using a system equipped with an electrospray interface operating in negative ion mode. The SPCs and LAS were extracted from spiked fish first with hexane to remove interference from fats, then with different mixtures of solvents: dichloromethane followed by methanol; 50:50 dichloromethane-methanol; and 30:70 dichloromethane-methanol. The LAS recoveries obtained with these three extraction options were high (between 68.5 and 80.8%); however, owing to the low percentages obtained for SPC homologues (13.5, 13.1, and 15.9%, respectively), another extraction procedure with methanol was developed in order to increase these recoveries. The percentage of recovery for total SPCs with the methanolic extraction was higher (90.1%), with a standard deviation of 9.9, and the LAS recoveries also increased (99.9%). Detection limits were between 1 and 22 ng g?1 for LAS, and between 1 and 58 ng g?1 for SPCs. Quantitation limits were between 4 and 73 ng g?1 for LAS, and between 2 and 193 ng g?1 for SPCs. This method has been applied to measure the biotransformation of 2ØC10 LAS (where Ø is a sulfophenyl group) in fish exposed in a flow-through system, and enabled the separation and identification of SPCs from 5ØC6 to 9ØC10. 相似文献
Preconcentration of phenolic compounds was carried out with Empore C18 membrane disks, which were eluted with a closed-vessel microwave extraction system. The optimum microwave-elution conditions were obtained by optimizing the elution solvent, elution temperature, duration of elution and volume of elution solvent. The recoveries of eleven phenolic compounds spiked at 10 and 500 g/L levels into water, using the optimum conditions, were all above 85% with relative standard deviations between 4.0 and 10.0%, except for phenol and 4-nitrophenol. Extraction of an industrial waste water sample suspected of containing phenolic compounds by SPE-CVME showed similar recoveries of phenol (the only phenolic compound detected) when compared with LLE and C18 SPE cartridge techniques. Analysis of phenolic compounds was carried out using liquid chromatography coupled to a UV detection system. 相似文献
A method combining the techniques of liquid – solid disk extraction (LSDE) and supercritical fluid elution (SFE) has been developed for the phenols regulated by the Clean Water Act. LSDE uses a disk or membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrils impregnated with small particles, e.g. styrene divinylbenzene (SDB) resin, to extract phenols from water. After disk extraction the retained analytes are eluted from the disk using SFE. SFE is used as an alternative to liquid solvent elution with an organic solvent. Analytes are separated, identified, and quantified using gas chromatography – ion trap detector mass spectrometry (GC-ITDMS). The method is capable of sub parts per billion detection limits, and precision of 5–28% RSD. Evaluation of various disks or membranes, such as C18-silica disks, SDB disks, and ion exchange membranes, has also been performed for the extraction of phenols from water. The results obtained from the in-situ aqueous acetylation of phenols and extraction of their acetates are quantitative. The utilization of LSDE and SFE techniques has proven to be a more effective approach than liquid – liquid extraction in minimizing air pollution and solvent waste. 相似文献
A dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) method followed by high-performance liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry has been developed for the simultaneous determination of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS C10, C11, C12, and C13), nonylphenol (NP), nonylphenol mono- and diethoxylates (NP1EO and NP2EO), and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). The applicability of the method has been tested by the determination of the above mentioned organic pollutants in tap water and wastewater. Several parameters affecting DLLME, such as, the type and volume of the extraction and disperser solvents, sample pH, ionic strength and number of extractions, have been evaluated. Methanol (1.5 mL) was selected among the six disperser solvent tested. Dichlorobenzene (50 μL) was selected among the four extraction solvent tested. Enrichment factor achieved was 80. Linear ranges in samples were 0.01–3.42 μg L−1 for LAS C10–13 and NP2EO, 0.09–5.17 μg L−1 for NP1EO, 0.17–9.19 μg L−1 for NP and 0.40–17.9 μg L−1 for DEHP. Coefficients of correlation were higher than 0.997. Limits of quantitation in tap water and wastewater were in the ranges 0.009–0.019 μg L−1 for LAS, 0.009–0.091 μg L−1 for NP, NP1EO and NP2EO and 0.201–0.224 μg L−1 for DEHP. Extraction recoveries were in the range from 57 to 80%, except for LAS C10 (30–36%). The method was successfully applied to the determination of these pollutants in tap water and effluent wastewater from Seville (South of Spain). The DLLME method developed is fast, easy to perform, requires low solvent volumes and allows the determination of the priority hazardous substances NP and DEHP (Directive 2008/105/EC). 相似文献
A new sample-treatment procedure has been developed for determination of total linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), i.e. homologues and isomers, in agricultural soil. The procedure involves two steps, ultrasound-assisted extraction of LAS from the samples with methanol then clean-up of the methanolic extracts and preconcentration of the LAS by solid-phase extraction on two adsorbent cartridges (SAX and C18). The ultrasound-assisted procedure reduces extraction time (10 min in contrast with 6–12 h for conventional Soxhlet extraction) and requires only small volumes of organic solvent. The effect of different variables interacting in the ultrasound-assisted extraction process was studied. Finally, separation and quantification of the homologues and isomers of LAS was performed by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC?FD). 2-Octylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (Na-2ØC8-LAS) was used as internal standard. The proposed method was satisfactorily used for determination of LAS in agricultural soil samples from the fertile plain of Granada (Spain).
Summary A new method has been developed for the extraction and determination of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) in plant tissues
(rice stems and leaves). It consists of methanol-ultrasonic extraction followed by clean-up with aluminum oxide, enrichment
with C18 solid-phase extraction column and determination by HPLC. Both efficiency and accurracy of the overall method were high, i.e.
mean recovery of: 89% (84 to 93% for LAS concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 mg kg−1) and repeatability of: 3% relative standard deviation for 6 replicate analyses. With a 2 g sample for analysis, LAS levels
of 0.5 mg kg−1 in plants could be detected with the proposed method. Further advantages were: it was less time consuming (1 h for extraction),
less solvent consumption, and smaller samples (2 to 3 g) required when compared with Soxhlet extraction. 相似文献
A method for rapid extraction and determination of some crown ethers in aqueous matrices using octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks and gas chromatography is presented. Extraction efficiency and the influence of vacuum pressure. pH, and type and least amount of eluting solvent used to extract the crown ethers from the membrane disks were evaluated. Extraction efficiencies > 95% were obtained for benzo-15-crown-5, benzo-18-crown-6 and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 using 5 ml of acetonitrile as eluting solvent. The limit of detection of the proposed method for the determination of the crown ethers is reported. 相似文献
A simple, rapid and environment‐friendly technique of single‐drop liquid‐phase microextraction has been developed for the determination of sulfonamides in environmental water. Several important parameters including stirring rate, extraction solvent, extraction pH, salinity and extraction time were optimized to maximize the extract efficiency. Extraction solvent 1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C8MIM][PF6] ionic liquid showed better extraction efficiency than 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4MIM][PF6] and 1‐octanol. The optimum experimental conditions were: pH, 4.5; sodium chloride content, 36% w/v; extraction time, 20 min. This method provided low detection limits (0.5–1 ng/mL), good repeatability (the RSD ranging from 4.2 to 9.9%, n=5) and wide linear range (1–1500 ng/mL), with determination coefficients (r2) higher than 0.9989 for all the target compounds. Real sample analysis showed relative recoveries between 63.5 and 115.8% for all the target compounds. 相似文献
In this study, a novel extraction and enrichment technique based on superparamagnetic high-magnetization C18-functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticles (C18-MNPs) as sorbents was successfully developed for the determination of methylprednisolone (MP) in rat plasma by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The synthesized silica-coated magnetite modified with chlorodimethyl-n-octadecylsilane was about 320 nm in diameter with strong magnetism and high surface area. It provided an efficient way for extraction and concentration of MP in the samples through hydrophobic interaction by the interior C18 groups. Moreover, MP adsorbed with C18-MNPs could be simply and rapidly isolated through placing a strong magnet on the bottom of container, and then easily eluted from C18-MNPs by n-hexane solution. Extraction conditions such as amounts of C18-MNPs added, adsorption time and desorption solvent, were investigated. Method validations including linear range, detection limit, precision, and recovery were also studied. The results showed that the proposed method based on C18-MNPs was a simple, accurate and high efficient approach for the analysis of MP in the complex plasma samples. 相似文献
A new method based on probe sonication extraction (USP) prior to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed for the determination of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) from sewage sludge. The optimized method was designed to be cost effective compared to existing extraction methods (ultrasonic assisted extraction, Soxhlet or pressurized liquid extraction) which may require large quantities of organic solvents, or costly instrumentation or equipment.The main factors affecting the extraction efficiency (extractant volume, ultrasounds power and extraction time) were optimized using compost sludge. The detection limit of total LAS in the sludge was 10 mg kg− 1. The extraction of C10-C13 homologues is carried out using an extraction time of 7 min with 10 mL of methanol. Liquid chromatography with fluorescence (FL) detector is used for determination of LAS homologues. A mobile phase acetonitrile-water containing 0.1 M NaClO4 (65:35) and isocratic elution was used. Compounds were eluted over 6 min at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Polar interferences are eluted between 0 and 2 min and no purification of the samples is required prior to the final determination by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The recoveries of LAS in spiked sewage sludge were between 84.0% and 97.0%, which reflect the efficiency of the method for extraction of these analytes from sewage sludge. Concentration levels found were between 11,858 mg kg− 1 for digested sludge and 2379 mg kg− 1 for compost sludge. 相似文献
Solid phase extraction (SPE) with appropriate solid sorbents has been commonly used in the routine extraction of organic pollutants in water. The elution of analytes from the solid sorbents normally takes place by organic solvents under an applied vacuum. In this study, a microwave-assisted solvent elution technique was developed for the elution of analytes from C18 membrane disks during microwave irradiation from a microwave extraction system (MES). Several parameters, namely, elution solvent, elution temperature, duration of elution and the volume of solvent which may affect the elution efficiency of microwave-assisted solvent elution (MASE) technique towards organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalate esters (PAEs), organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), fungicides, herbicides and insecticides from the membrane disk were investigated. Good recoveries above 75% were obtained for most of the organic pollutants using the optimum SPE-MASE technique. The effect of sodium chloride and humic acid on the recoveries on the target analytes were also investigated. 相似文献
Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been used as novel solvents to replace traditional volatile organic solvents in organic synthesis, solvent extraction, and electrochemistry. The hydrophobic character and water immiscibility of certain ionic liquids allow their use in solvent extraction of hydrophobic compounds. In this work, a typical room temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4mim][PF6], was used as an alternative solvent to study liquid/liquid extraction of heavy metal ions. Dithizone was employed as a metal chelator to form neutral metal-dithizone complexes with heavy metal ions to extract metal ions from aqueous solution into [C4mim][PF6]. This extraction is possible due to the high distribution ratios of the metal complexes between [C4mim][PF6] and aqueous phase. Since the distribution ratios of metal dithiozonates between [C4mim][PF6] and aqueous phase are strongly pH dependent, the extraction efficiencies of metal complexes can be manipulated by tailoring the pH value of the extraction system. Hence, the extraction, separation, and preconcentraction of heavy metal ions with the biphasic system of [C4mim][PF6] and aqueous phase can be achieved by controlling the pH value of the extraction system. Preliminary results indicate that the use of [C4mim][PF6] as an alternate solvent to replace traditional organic solvents in liquid/liquid extraction of heavy metal ions is very promising. 相似文献
A simple and selective high‐performance liquid chromatography method coupled with fluorescence detection was developed for the simultaneous measurement of trace levels of four estrogens (estrone, estradiol, estriol and 17α‐ethynyl estradiol) in environmental matrices. For feces samples, solid–liquid extraction was applied with a 1:1 v/v mixture of acetonitrile and ethyl acetate as the extraction solvent. For liquid samples (e.g., leachate and groundwater), hydrophobic/lipophilic balanced automated solid‐phase extraction disks were selected due to their high recoveries compared to conventional C18 disks. Chromatographic separations were performed on a reversed‐phase C18 column gradient‐eluted with a 45:55 v/v mixture of acetonitrile and water. The detection limits were down to 1.1 × 10?2 (estrone), 4.11 × 10?4 (estradiol), 5.2 × 10?3 (estriol) and 7.18 × 10?3 μg/L (17α‐ethynyl estradiol) at excitation/emission wavelengths of 288/310 nm, with recoveries in the range of 96.9 ± 3.2–105.4 ± 3.2% (n = 3). The method was successfully applied to determine estrogens in feces and water samples collected at livestock farms and a major river in Northeast China. We observed relatively high abundance and widespread distribution of all four estrogens in our sample collections, implying the urgency for a comprehensive and intricate investigation of estrogenic fate and contamination in our researched area. 相似文献
A simple method for rapid and selective extraction, preconcentration and determination of copper as it's neocuproine complex by using octadecylsilica membrane disks and spectrophotometry is presented. Extraction efficiency and the influence of flow rates of sample solution and eluent, pH, amount of neocuproine and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, type and least amount of eluent for elution of copper complex from disks, break through volume and limit of detection were evaluated. Also the effects of various cationic interferences on percent recovery of copper were studied. Extraction efficiencies >99% were obtained by elution of the disks with minimal amount of solvent. The limit of detection of the proposed method is 0.12 ppb. The method was applied to the recovery and determination of copper in different water samples. 相似文献
Studies on the solvent extraction of Plutonium(Pu(IV)) from aqueous nitric acid by N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-diglycolamide (TODGA) in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (C6mimTf2N) room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) were carried out. It was found that Pu(IV) is extracted into RTIL phase as [Pu(NO3)(TODGA)]3+ through cation exchange mechanism. Extraction reaction equation is obtained by the influence of acidity and extractant concentration, and the parameters of thermodynamic equilibrium constant was calculated. 相似文献
Room temperature ionic liquids are regarded as “Green solvents” for their nonvolatile and thermally stable properties. They are employed to replace traditional volatile organic solvents in organic synthesis, solvent extraction, and electrochemistry. In this work, a water immiscible room temperature ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C4mim][PF6], was used as an alternative solvent for liquid/liquid extraction of copper ions. Metal chelators, including dithizone, 8‐hydroxyquinoline, and 1‐(2‐pyridylazo)‐2‐naphthol, were employed to form neutral metal‐chelate complexes with copper ions so that copper ions were extracted from aqueous solution into [C4mim][PF6]. The parameters that affect the extraction of copper ions with this biphasic system were investigated. The extraction behavior in this novel biphasic system is shown to be consistent with that of traditional solvents. For example, the extraction with this biphasic system is strongly pH dependent. So, the extraction efficiency of coppers ion from an aqueous phase can be manipulated by tailoring the pH value of the extraction system. Hence, the extraction, separation and preconcentraction of copper ions can be accomplished by controlling the pH value of the extraction system. It appears that the use of ionic liquid as an alternate solvent system in liquid/liquid extraction of copper ions is very promising. 相似文献
A simple adsorption/desorption procedure using a mixed matrix membrane (MMM) as extraction medium is demonstrated as a new miniaturized sample pretreatment and preconcentration technique. Reversed-phase particles namely polymeric bonded octadecyl (C18) was incorporated through dispersion in a cellulose triacetate (CTA) polymer matrix to form a C18-MMM. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) namely diclofenac, mefenamic acid and ibuprofen present in the environmental water samples were selected as targeted model analytes. The extraction setup is simple by dipping a small piece of C18-MMM (7 mm × 7 mm) in a stirred 10 mL sample solution for analyte adsorption process. The entrapped analyte within the membrane was then desorbed into 100 μL of methanol by ultrasonication prior to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Each membrane was discarded after single use to avoid any analyte carry-over effect. Several important parameters, such as effect of sample pH, salting-out effect, sample volume, extraction time, desorption solvent and desorption time were comprehensively optimized. The C18-MMM demonstrated high affinity for NSAIDs spiked in tap and river water with relative recoveries ranging from 92 to 100% and good reproducibility with relative standard deviations between 1.1 and 5.5% (n = 9). The overall results obtained were found comparable against conventional solid phase extraction (SPE) using cartridge packed with identical C18 adsorbent. 相似文献
Linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE; sum of nonylphenol, nonylphenol monoethoxylate, and nonylphenol
diethoxylate), and di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) are the most problematic organic pollutants in sludge owing to their
high concentrations and the concentration limits of 2,600, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively, proposed in the European Union
directive draft for land application of sludge. In this paper, an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of
the C10, C11, C12, and C13 LAS homologues, the nonylphenolic compounds nonylphenol, nonylphenol monoethoxylate, and nonylphenol diethoxylate, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
in compost and compost-amended soil is proposed. The method is based on sonication-assisted extraction, cleanup by solid-phase
extraction, and determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array and fluorescence detectors. The mean
recoveries of LAS, NPE, and DEHP were 83, 87, and 79%, respectively, in compost samples, and 77, 96, and 99%, respectively,
in compost-amended soil samples. The limits of detection and quantification in compost samples were lower than 6.77 and 22.3 mg/kg
dry matter, respectively, for LAS; lower than 7.34 and 22.8 mg/kg dry matter, respectively, for NPE; and 0.78 and 1.18 mg/kg
dry matter, respectively, for DEHP. The limits of detection and quantification in compost-amended soil samples were lower
than 0.03 and 0.10 mg/kg dry matter, respectively, for LAS; lower than 0.04 and 0.12 mg/kg dry matter, respectively, for NPE;
and 0.03 and 0.10 mg/kg dry matter, respectively, for DEHP. The method was successfully applied to compost and compost-amended
soil samples from Seville (south of Spain). 相似文献
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the separation and determination of individual (C10-C13) linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS). New sets of conditions have been established for routine analysis of individual chemical forms of four LAS surfactants, i.e. C10-C13 LAS. Under a condition set using a mobile phase containing 1.5 mM ammonium acetate in methanol/water 80:20 (v/v) mixture, detection limits obtained were in the range 1.5 ppb (for C10 LAS) to 11.5 ppb (for C13 LAS). This offers the advantages of significant improvement in resolution, short separation time and using less amount of common salt under isocratic condition. In addition, the use of simple mobile phase containing a simple low amount of salt cannot deposit at the entrance of mass spectrometric detector. The method is applicable to the simultaneous determination of LAS surfactants in various water samples. LAS surfactants presented in these samples were also successfully confirmed by using electrospray mass spectrometry. 相似文献
Summary A sample preparation method has been developed for the determination of chlorinated phenols in water. The method is based on a supported liquid membrane extraction system connected on-line to liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The supported liquid membrane technique utilizes a porous PTFE membrane. The membrane is impregnated with an organic solvent which forms a barrier between two aqueous phases and enables selective extraction. The technique can easily be coupled in a flow system. In this investigation five chlorinated phenols (1–5 chlorine atoms) were extracted from natural water samples. Extraction for 30 minutes resulted in detection limits of approximately 25 ng L–1. 相似文献
