Trace enrichment of chlorophenols in human urine by C18 reversed-phase adsorption and by n-hexane extraction

Summary The efficiency and sensitivity of C₁₈ reversed-phase adsorption of free chlorophenols and of n-hexane extraction of either free or acetylated chlorophenols from human urine were compared. All procedures were found to be efficient for the trace enrichment of 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6- and 2,4,5-trichlorophenols, 2,3,4,6- and 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenols and pentachlorophenol. The recoveries of chlorophenols from non-hydrolysed and acid hydrolysed urine samples were comparable. By treatment of 1 ml urine sample detection limits of 1–2 ng/ml were achieved, while the treatment of 5 ml samples enhanced the detection sensitivity to less than 1 ng/ml. The n-hexane extraction of acetylated chlorophenols from 1 ml urine samples is the simplest and fastest procedure because the acetylation and extraction of chlorophenols are performed simultaneously in one step. The C₁₈ adsorption seems to be more suitable than n-hexane extraction for accumulation of chlorophenols from a urine volume of 5 ml and higher because the elution is performed always with the same small volume of acetone. Both C₁₈ adsorption and n-hexane extraction procedures were applied for analysis of chlorophenols in general population and in persons with possible occupational exposure to organochlorine compounds.     

C18 reversed-phase trace enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides and residues in water

Summary The efficiency of accumulation of traces of dialkylphosphates, dialkylphosphorothioates and dialkylphosphorodithioates and at the same time of the parent organophosphorus pesticides, from aqueous solutions, was investigated by reversed-phase adsorption with octadecyl-modified silica gel (Sep-Pak C₁₈ cartridge). For desorption, methanol was used as the most appropriate solvent for the subsequent methylation of dialkylphosphorus anions and for gas chromatographic analysis. The recoveries of dimethyl-and diethylphosphorothioates and-phosphorodithioates, both free and as ionassociation complexes with the tetraphenylarsonium cation, from water samples adjusted to pH 1.25 and 4 respectively, were comparable. The recovery of diethylphosphate was tripled by acidification of the water sample, whereas the accumulation of dimethylphosphate was unsuccessful. Although the anions were not quantitatively trapped on the cartridge, a detection limit of 1g/l for dialkyl-phosphorothioates and-phosphorodithioates was obtained with 10–20 ml sample volumes. The sample volume should not exceed 20 ml because of significant breakthrough of dialkylphosphorus anions on the C₁₈ cartridge with larger volumes. Under the optimum conditions for accumulation of organophosphorus residues the adsorption of organophosphorus pesticides is nearly quantitative with a detection limit 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than that for the residues. To enhance the detection limit to 1g/l the sample volume had to be increased to 100 ml, but there was then no possibility of achieving efficient simultaneous accumulation of the corresponding dialkylphosphorus anions. The procedure provides simple and rapid trace enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides and residues, in the control of surface waters polluted with these compounds, and is applicable in the field.

C₁₈-Reversed-phase-Spurenanreicherung phosphororganischer Pestizide und Residuen in Wasser

Zusammenfassung Die Spurenanreicherung von Dialkylphosphaten, Dialkylthiophosphaten und Dialkyldithiophosphaten gleichzeitig mit ursprünglichen phosphororganischen Pestiziden aus wäßrigen Lösungen durch Reversed-phase-Adsorption an oktadecyl-modifiziertem Kieselgel (Sep-Pak-C₁₈-Patrone) wurde untersucht. Zur Desorption wurde Methanol als das geeignetste Lösungsmittel sowohl für die anschließende Methylierung der Dialkylphosphatanionen als auch für die gaschromatographische Analyse verwendet.Die Wiederauffindungsraten der freien bzw. mit Tetraphenylarsoniumkation ionenassoziierten Dimethyl-und Diethylthiophosphate und-dithiophosphate aus Wasserproben bei pH 1,25 bzw. 4 waren vergleichbar. Die Wiederauffindungsrate des Diethylphosphats wurde durch Ansäuern der Wasserprobe dreifach erhöht, während die Anreicherung des Dimethylphosphats in beiden Fällen erfolglos war. Obwohl die Anionen an der Patrone nicht quantitativ zurückgehalten wurden, wurde durch Behandlung der Wasserprobe von 10–20 ml eine Nachweisgrenze von 1g/l erhalten. In Anbetracht eines bedeutenden Durchbruchs der Dialkylphosphatanionen in der C₁₈-Patrone darf das Volumen der Wasserprobe den Wert von 20 ml nicht überschreiten.Unter den für die Anreicherung der phosphororganischen Residuen optimalen Bedingungen wurden phosphororganische Pestizide annähernd quantitativ adsorbiert, mit einer um 1–2 Größenordnungen höheren Nachweisgrenze. Damit diese den Wert von 1g/l erreicht, soll das Probevolumen auf 100 ml erhöht werden, ohne daß jedoch auf eine gleichzeitige wirksame Anreicherung der entsprechenden Dialkylphosphatanionen Anspruch erhoben wird.Das Verfahren ermöglicht eine einfache und schnelle Spurenanreicherung bei der an Ort und Stelle durchzuführenden Kontrolle der durch phosphororganische Pestizide und Residuen verunreinigten Oberflächengewässer.

Determination of chlorophenols in waste water using C18 reverse-phase enrichment prior to high resolution gaschromatography-mass spectrometry

Summary The analytical use of absorption chromatography using Sep-pak C₁₈ cartridges for the determination of trace amounts of lower chlorinated chlorophenols and chlorocresols in complex waste water samples is studied. A simple and efficient analysis at ppb (g/l) level has been developed and is demonstrated on municipal waste water receiving chlorophenols and chlorocresols from a chemical plant producing phenoxy herbicides. For higher halogenated phenols quantitative recovery is demonstrated for a sample volume of 1000 ml making preconcentration by means of C₁₈ absorption chromatography especially useful for trace analysis of these phenols.     

On-line trace enrichment of phenolic compounds from water using a pyrrole-based polymer as the solid-phase extraction sorbent coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography

A pyrrole-based conductive polymer was prepared and applied as new sorbent for on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) of phenol and chlorophenols from water samples. Polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized by chemical oxidation of the monomer in non-aqueous solution. The efficiency of this polymer for extraction of phenol and chlorophenols was evaluated using 35 mg of PPy as the sorbent in an on-line SPE system coupled to reversed-phase liquid chromatography with UV detection. The mobile phase were mixture of phosphate buffer-acetonitrile and compounds were eluted by the mobile phase using a six-port switching valve. High volumes of water, up to 160 ml, could be preconcentrated without the loss of phenols, except for the more polar ones. The R.S.D. for a river water sample spiked with phenol and chlorophenols at sub-ppb level was lower than 7% (n=5) and detection limits of 15-100 and 35-150 ng l⁻¹ for tap and river water were obtained, respectively.     

Liquid chromatography of phenolic compounds in natural water using on-line trace enrichment

Summary Two packing materials, C18 and PLRP-S, are studied for on-line trace enrichment of phenolic compounds in water. Various precolumns of different internal diameter are also tested and the addition of an ion-pair reagent to increase retention and thus, breakthrough volumes of phenolic compounds, is studied. Best results are obtained when a PLRP-S precolumn is coupled on-line with a C18 analytical column and DAD detector. Addition of TBA considerably increases breakthrough volumes. In contrast, when a C18 precolumn is used, breakthrough volumes are lower and it is impossible to determine TCP and PCP, under the experimental conditions used, because of interference of other nonpolar compounds in the samples. The performance of the system is evaluated with river and tap water and the preconcentration of 10 ml of sample in a PLRP-S precolumn involves a linear range between 1 g 1^–1 and 20 l^–1 and limits of determination between 0.5 g l^–1 and 1 g l^–1 are obtained.

Evaluation of an on-line coupled continuous flow liquid membrane extraction and precolumn system as trace enrichment technique by liquid chromatographic determination of bisphenol A

An on-line coupled continuous flow liquid membrane extraction (CFLME) and C₁₈ precolumn system was developed for sample preconcentration in liquid chromatography determination. After preconcentration by CFLME, which is based on the combination of continuous flow liquid–liquid extraction and supported liquid membrane, bisphenol A (BPA) was enriched in 960 μl of 1 mol l⁻¹ NaOH used as acceptor. This acceptor was on-line neutralized and transported onto the C₁₈ precolumn where analytes were absorbed and focused. Then the focused analytes were injected onto a C₁₈ analytical column for separation and detected at 220 nm with a diode array detector. CFLME related parameters such as flow rates, pH of donor and acceptor, and enrichment time were optimized. The proposed method presents a detection limit of 0.03 μg l⁻¹ (S/N=3) when 60 ml samples was enriched with an enrichment time of 30 min. Compared with C₁₈ based column-switching procedure, this proposed procedure presents similar sample throughput and lower detection limits. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine BPA in tap water, river water, and municipal sewage effluent samples.

Trace enrichment of polar pollutants from water and the influence of humic substances

Summary A practical liquid chromatographic early-warning system for polar pollutants in water ought to have detection limits at a level below a microgram per litre. Using ultraviolet absorbance detection this normally necessitates trace enrichment of the samples. In this study ten different sorbents have been tested with respect to their enrichment capacity. The hydrophobic polymeric PLRP-S material, in combination with a C-18 modified analytical column, proved to be the best choice. The influence of humic substances, present in surface water, was also studied. Lowering of the sample pH, resulted in a significant increase in the interferences due to the humic substances.     

Improvement of on-line solid-phase extraction for determining phenolic compounds in water

Summary Modifying the most common design for the on-line coupling of a precolumn to reversed phase LC with diode array detection has resulted in reduction of the broadening of the peaks which results when the compounds of interest are strongly retained by a highly hydrophobic sorbent. The modification consists of the desorption of the analytes trapped on the precolumn solely by the organic solvent used to modify the solvent strength of the mobile phase. Results obtained using this design were compared with those obtained with the conventional design, with C₁₈ and PLRP-S precolumns. The performance of the system was also tested with a highly cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (ENVI-chrom P) precolumn for the determination of phenolic compounds in real samples. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Ion-pair solid phase extraction is used in order to increase the breakthrough volumes of more polar compounds, mainly phenol. The use of the new design enables phenolic compounds to be determined at the low μg L⁻¹ level with limits of detection ranging between 0.1 and 2 μg L⁻¹ in tap water when a 10 mL sample was analyzed.     

Selective trace enrichment of acidic pharmaceuticals in real water and sediment samples based on solid-phase extraction using multi-templates molecularly imprinted polymers

A novel multi-templates molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), using acidic pharmaceuticals mixture (ibuprofen (IBP), naproxen (NPX), ketoprofen (KEP), diclofenac (DFC), and clofibric acid (CA)) as the template, was prepared as solid-phase extraction (SPE) material for the quantitative enrichment of acidic pharmaceuticals in environmental samples and off-line coupled with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Washing solvent was optimized in terms of kind and volume for removing the matrix constituents nonspecifically adsorbed on the MIP. When 1 L of water sample spiked at 1 μg/L was loaded onto the cartridge, the binding capacity of the MIP cartridge were 48.7 μg/g for KEP, 60.7 μg/g for NPX, 52 μg/g for CA, 61.3 μg/g for DFC and 60.7 μg/g for IBP, respectively, which are higher than those of the commercial single template MIP in organic medium (e.g. toluene) reported in the literature. Recoveries of the five acidic pharmaceuticals extracted from 1 L of real water samples such as lake water and wastewater spiked at 1 μg/L were more than 95%. The recoveries of acidic pharmaceuticals extracted from 10-g sediment sample spiked at the 10 ng/g level were in the range of 77.4–90.6%. To demonstrate the potential of the MIP obtained, a comparison with commercial C18 SPE cartridge was performed. Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) cartridge showed higher recoveries than commercial C18 SPE cartridge for acidic pharmaceuticals. These results showed the suitability of the MISPE method for the selective extraction of a group of structurally related compounds such as acidic pharmaceuticals.

煤中痕量元素在循环流化床锅炉中的迁移行为与富集特性

对天津市某电厂循环流化床(CFB)锅炉燃用的原煤及燃烧产物底灰、飞灰、细飞灰(≤50 μm)进行痕量元素含量的测定,分析了Be、Zn、Hg、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、As、Se、Cd、Pb 13种痕量元素在燃烧过程中的迁移行为,揭示了痕量元素在CFB锅炉中的分配、富集特性。结果表明,CFB锅炉中,较低的炉温对于痕量元素的迁移富集产生了较大的影响。由相对富集系数得知,Be、V、Co、Se在底灰中耗散,在飞灰中富集,Zn、Mn倾向于在底灰中富集,元素Cd、Pb、Ni、Cu挥发性较强,在底灰和飞灰中均是耗散。As受钙氧化物影响,挥发性表现并不明显。Hg在底灰和飞灰中相对富集系数均很低,表明Hg在整个燃烧过程中以气态形式排放;Hg、As、Se、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Pb均有向小颗粒物中富集的趋势。根据相对富集系数以及研究的13种元素在低温CFB锅炉中的迁移行为,将这些元素分为三类:A类(E_R<0.1),主要是以气态形式排放元素Hg;B类(0.1R≤0.85),较易挥发元素As、Be、Ni、Cu、Se、Cd、Pb、Co、V;C类(E_R>0.85),主要残留在固体产物中元素Zn、Mn、Cr。
