Vacuum-assisted headspace solid phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in solid samples

For the first time, Vacuum Assisted Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction (Vac-HSSPME) is used for the recovery of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from solid matrices. The procedure was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. According to the theory, reducing the total pressure increases the vapor flux of chemicals at the soil surface, and hence improves HSSPME extraction kinetics. Vac-HSSPME sampling could be further enhanced by adding water as a modifier and creating a slurry mixture. For these soil-water mixtures, reduced pressure conditions may increase the volatilization rates of compounds with a low K_H present in the aqueous phase of the slurry mixture and result in a faster HSSPME extraction process. Nevertheless, analyte desorption from soil to water may become a rate-limiting step when significant depletion of the aqueous analyte concentration takes place during Vac-HSSPME. Sand samples spiked with PAHs were used as simple solid matrices and the effect of different experimental parameters was investigated (extraction temperature, modifiers and extraction time). Vac-HSSPME sampling of dry spiked sand samples provided the first experimental evidence of the positive combined effect of reduced pressure and temperature on HSSPME. Although adding 2 mL of water as a modifier improved Vac-HSSPME, humidity decreased the amount of naphthalene extracted at equilibrium as well as impaired extraction of all analytes at elevated sampling temperatures. Within short HSSPME sampling times and under mild sampling temperatures, Vac-HSSPME yielded linear calibration curves in the range of 1–400 ng g⁻¹ and, with the exception of fluorene, regression coefficients were found higher than 0.99. The limits of detection for spiked sand samples ranged from 0.003 to 0.233 ng g⁻¹ and repeatability from 4.3 to 10 %. Finally, the amount of PAHs extracted from spiked soil samples was smaller compared to spiked sand samples, confirming that soil could bind target analytes more strongly and thus decrease the readily available fraction of target analytes.     

An aniline-based fiber coating for solid phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from water followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A fiber coating from polyaniline (PANI) was electrochemically prepared and employed for solid phase microextraction (SPME) of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples. The PANI film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface in sulfuric acid solution using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. The applicability of this coating was assessed employing a laboratory-made SPME device and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the extraction of some PAHs from the headspace of aqueous samples. Application of wider potential range in CV led to a PANI with more stability against the temperature. The homogeneity and the porous surface structure of the film were examined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study revealed that this polymer is a suitable SPME fiber coating for extracting the selected PAHs. Important parameters influencing the extraction process were optimized and an extraction time of 40 min at 40 degrees C gave maximum peak area, when the aqueous sample was added with NaCl (20%, w/v). The synthesis of the PANI can be carried out conveniently and in a reproducible manner while it is rather inexpensive and stable against most of organic solvents. The film thickness of PANI can be precisely controlled by the number of CV cycles. The resulting thickness was roughly 20 microm after 20 cycles. At the optimum conditions, the relative standard deviation (RSD) for a double distilled water spiked with selected PAHs at ppb level were 8.80-16.8% (n = 3) and detection limits for the studied compounds were between 0.1-6 pg mL(-1). The performance of PANI was, also, compared with a commercial solid coated-based SPME fiber, carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB), under similar experimental conditions.     

Solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental solid matrices

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for determining polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental solid matrices is developed. Investigated matrices include seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida and Himanthalia elongata), humic substances (isolated from a wetland out-flow and purchased from Aldrich), and soil. Optimal conditions for a good SPME efficiency of 16 hydrocarbon compounds are obtained using a 100- micro m polydimethylsiloxane fiber directly immersed in aqueous carrier medium. The method is remarkable for presenting short extraction times and considerably high sensitivities. The SPME results obtained by using internal calibration give the total analyte concentration based on the identical partitioning behavior of native and spiked pollutants. The detection limits range from 0.001 to 0.1 mg of PAH per kilogram of dry matrix. SPME external calibration provides information regarding freely dissolved analytes. The detection limits range from 0.001 to 0.05 micro g of PAH per liter of carrier medium. The SPME with external calibration procedure can be applied to measure free concentrations of a target compound spiked into a carrier medium and onto a matrix. Based on a comparison of results obtained for the two samples, the partitioning of the target analyte between the matrix and the carrier medium is calculated.     

Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from ambient air particulate matter using a cold fiber solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from ambient air particulate matter (PM) were analyzed by a new method that utilized direct immersion (DI) and cold fiber (CF) SPME-GC/MS. Experimental design was used to optimize the conditions of extraction by DI-CF-SPME with a 100μm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fiber. The optimal conditions included a 5min equilibration at 70°C time in an ultrasonic bath with an extraction time of 60min. The optimized method was validated by the analysis of a NIST standard reference material (SRM), 1649b urban dust. The results obtained were in good agreement with certified values. PAH recoveries for reference materials were between 88 and 98%, with a relative standard deviation ranging from 5 to 17%. Detection limits (LOD) varied from 0.02 to 1.16ng and the quantification limits (LOQ) varied from 0.05 to 3.86ng. The optimized and validated method was applied to the determination of PAH from real particulate matter (PM10) and total suspended particulate (TPS) samples collected on quartz fiber filters with high volume samplers.

Single layer graphitic carbon nitride-modified graphene composite as a fiber coating for solid-phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

The authors describe a three-dimensional single layer graphitic carbon nitride-modified graphene composite (g-C₃N₄@G) deposited on a stainless steel wire by a sol-gel technique. The coated fiber was applied to direct immersion solid-phase microextraction of trace levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from cosmetics samples prior to their determination by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Due to π stacking interaction and hydrophobic interaction between the g-C₃N₄@G coating and the analytes (naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene), the fiber displays an excellent adsorption capability for the analytes. Under optimized conditions, the method has a wide linear range, low LODs (from 1.0 to 2.0 ng L⁻¹), good repeatability and high recoveries. It was successfully applied to the determination of PAHs in cosmetics. The g-C₃N₄@G fiber also exhibited good durability.

Application of static and dynamic liquid-phase microextraction in the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Two modes of liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), static and semi-automated dynamic, have been developed for the HPLC analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In static LPME, a small drop (3 microl) of organic solvent was held at the tip of a microsyringe needle and exposed to the sample containing the analytes, permitting extraction to occur. In semi-automated dynamic LPME, a syringe pump was used to automate the repetitive procedure of filling a microsyringe barrel that functioned as a microseparatory funnel, with fresh aliquots of sample, and expelling them after extraction. The factors influential to both techniques such as the type of organic solvent, extraction time, sampling volume, number of samplings, salt concentration and temperature were investigated. Static LPME provided high enrichment (60- to 180-fold) and simplicity. The analytical data exhibited a relative standard deviation range of 4.7-9.0%. Dynamic LPME provided higher (>280-fold) enrichment within nearly the same extraction time (approximately 20 min) and better precision (< or = 6.0%). Both methods allow the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at microg/l levels in water by HPLC. Water samples collected from two rivers were analyzed using the methods, respectively. The results demonstrated that both modes of LPME were fast, simple and accurate.     

Calibration of the complex matrix effects on the sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in milk samples using solid phase microextraction

Solid phase microextraction (SPME), a simple, fast and promising sampling technique, has been widely used for complex sample analysis. However, complex matrices could modify the absorption property of coatings as well as the uptake kinetics of analytes, eventually biasing the quantification results. In the current study, we demonstrated the feasibility of a developed calibration method for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in complex milk samples. Effects of the complex matrices on the SPME sampling process and the sampling conditions were investigated. Results showed that short exposure time (pre-equilibrium SPME, PE-SPME) could increase the lifetime of coatings, and the complex matrices in milk samples could significantly influence the sampling kinetics of SPME. In addition, the optimized sampling time, temperature and dilution factor for PAHs were 10 min, 85 °C and 20, respectively. The obtained LODs and LOQs of all the PAHs were 0.1–0.8 ng/mL and 1.4–4.7 ng/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed PE-SPME method for milk sampling was validated by the recoveries of the studied compounds in two concentration levels, which ranged from 75% to 110% for all the compounds. Finally, the proposed method was applied to the screening of PAHs in milk samples.     

Commercial polymeric fiber as sorbent for solid-phase microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water

A novel microextraction method making use of commercial polymer fiber as sorbent, coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water has been developed. In this technique, the extraction device was simply a length (8 cm) of a strand of commercial polymer fiber, Kevlar (each strand consisted of 1000 filaments, each of diameter ca. 9.23 μm), that was allowed to tumble freely in the aqueous sample solution during extraction. The extracted analytes were desorbed ultrasonically before the extract was injected into HPLC system for analysis. Extraction parameters such as extraction time, desorption time, type of desorption solvent and sample volume were optimized. Each fiber could be used for up to 50 extractions and the method showed good precision, reproducibility and linear response within a concentration range 0.05–5.00 μg L⁻¹ with correlation coefficients of up to 0.9998. Limits of detection between 0.4 and 4.4 ng L⁻¹ for seven PAHs could be achieved. The relative standard deviations (n = 3) of this technique were between 2.9% and 12.1%.     

Solid-phase microextraction and headspace solid-phase microextraction for the determination of high molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water and soil samples

The feasibility of direct-immersion (DI) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and headspace (HS) SPME for the determination of high-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (4- to 6-ring PAHs) in water and soil samples is studied. Three SPME fibers--100- and 30-microm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and 85-microm polyacrylate (PA) fibers-are compared for the effective extraction of PAHs. Parameters affecting the sorption of PAHs into the fiber such as sampling time, sampling volume, and temperature are also evaluated. The extracted amounts of high-ring PAHs decrease with the decreasing of film thickness, and the 100-microm PDMS has the highest extraction efficiency than 85-microm PA and 30-microm PDMS fibers. Also, the extraction efficiency decreases with the increasing molecular weights of PAHs. Of the 10 high-ring PAHs, only fluoranthene and pyrene can reach equilibrium within 120 min at 25 degrees C for DI-SPME in a water sample. Increasing the temperature to 60 degrees C can increase the sensitivity of PAHs and shorten the equilibrium time. A 0.7- to 25-fold increase in peak area is obtained for DI-SPME when the working temperature is increased to 60 degrees C. For HS-SPME, the extraction efficiency of PAHs decrease when the headspace volume of the sampling system increases. All high-ring PAHs can be detected in a water sample by increasing the temperature to 80 degrees C. However, only 4- and 5-ring PAHs can be quantitated in a CRM soil sample when HS-SPME is used. The addition of a surfactant with high hydrophilic property can effectively enhance the sensitivity of high-ring PAHs. HS-SPME as well as DI-SPME with 100-microm PDMS or 85-microm PA fibers are shown to be suitable methods for analyzing high-ring PAHs in a water sample; however, this technique can only apply in a soil sample for PAHs having up to 5 rings.
