Summary A pressurised, hot-water extraction (PHWE) method was developed for brominated flame-retardants in sediments. The effect of
extraction time, temperature and pressure on PHWE recovery was investigated, together with solid-phase collection parameters
(trapping material, length of trapping column, eluent composition). The concentrated extracts were analysed by GC-MS. PHWE
recoveries were compared with those obtained by conventional Soxhlet-extraction. In general, recoveries were much higher with
PHWE than with Soxhlet. 相似文献

This article reviews recent literature on the analysis of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and brominated natural compounds (BNCs). The main literature sources are reviews from the last five years and research articles reporting new analytical developments published between 2003 and 2006. Sample pretreatment, extraction, clean-up and fractionation, injection techniques, chromatographic separation, detection methods, quality control and method validation are discussed. Only few new techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME) or pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), have been investigated for their ability of combining the extraction and clean-up steps. With respect to the separation of BFRs, the most important developments were the use of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and the growing tendency for liquid-chromatographic techniques for hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) stereoisomers and of tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A). At the detection stage, mass spectrometry (MS) has been developed as well-established and reliable technology in the identification and quantification of BFRs. A growing attention has been paid to quality assurance. Interlaboratory exercises directed towards BFRs have grown in popularity and have enabled laboratories to validate analytical methods and to guarantee the quality of their results. The analytical procedures used for the identification and characterization of several classes of BNCs, such as methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (MeO-PBDEs) (also metabolites of PBDEs), halogenated methyl or dimethyl bipyrroles (DBPs), are reviewed here for the first time. These compounds were generally identified during the routine analysis of BFRs and have received little attention until recently. For each topic, an overview is presented of its current status. 相似文献

This review provides a summary of various analytical methodologies applied to the determination of “novel” brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in various environmental compartments, as reported in peer reviewed literature, either in print or online, until the end of 2010. NBFRs are defined here as those brominated flame retardants (BFRs) which are either new to the market or newly/recently observed in the environment. The preparation and extraction of sediment, water, sewage sludge, soil, air and marine biota samples, the extract clean-up/fractionation and subsequent instrumental analysis of NBFRs are described and critically examined. Generally, while the instrumental analysis step mainly relies on mass-spectrometric detection specifically developed for NBFRs, and hyphenated to liquid or gas chromatography, preceding steps tend to replicate methodologies applied to the determination of traditional BFRs such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). Shortcomings and gaps are discussed and recommendations for future development are given. 相似文献

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are the chemicals of high importance within the REAch framework. In addition to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), other BFRs such as bromophenols, intermediates in FR formulation like bromoanilines, and their brominated and non-brominated by-products such as bromoanisoles, bromotoluenes, bromoalkanes and 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene, respectively should be monitored and controlled because of their toxicity and their very low odour and taste thresholds, below sub-nanogram-per liter levels. In the present study several analytical methods for the simultaneous determination, i.e., combining one single sample treatment and one analysis step, of these compounds in water have been developed, optimized and evaluated. The methods involve a (pre-concentration)-extraction technique, such as liquid-liquid (LLE), solid-phase (SPE), headspace (HS) extraction or solid-phase microextraction (SPME), followed by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis with either electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) or electron impact (EI) as ionization techniques. ECNI is more sensitive than EI for analytes with more than one bromine atom. HS and SPME were previously optimized by means of a multifactorial experimental design. Extraction temperature and the liquid/headspace volume ratio were the most significant factors in HS extraction. In SPME, the variables studied were the nature of the fiber, the mode of extraction and the extraction temperature. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibers appeared to be more suitable than carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (CAR-PDMS) for the analysis of the target compounds with more than one bromine atom. The extraction of 2,4-dibromoaniline was only achieved in a direct immersion mode, in which the optimal extraction temperature was 60 degrees C. The methods LLE-GC-(ECNI)MS, LLE-GC-(EI)MS, SPE-GC-(ECNI)MS, SPE-GC-(EI)MS, HS-GC-(EI)MS and SPME-GC-(EI)MS were evaluated in terms of linearity, precision, detection limits and trueness. All methods, with the exception of HS-GC-(EI)MS, were linear in a range of at least two orders of magnitude, giving recoveries above 75% and detection limits at the low ng/L level for most of the target analytes. SPE-GC-(ECNI)MS is the most sensitive and reliable method for the determination of most of the bromine compounds, whereas SPE-GC-(EI)MS is the most suitable to quantify the three isomers of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene. Both methods together with SPME-GC-(EI)MS (for qualitative confirmation) were applied to water samples from the Western Scheldt (The Netherlands), where 2,6-dibromophenol and 2,4,6-tribromoanisole could be detected at levels higher than their respective odour thresholds. 相似文献

The main components of five technical mixtures of brominated flame retardants were identified by mass spectroscopy, H-NMR, IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, and HRGC-MS, respectively. The mixtures have been identified as: phosphoric acid bromopropylates: Bromcal P 67-6 HP; C18-alkylated bromophenols: Bromcal P 40-3; dibromopropyl-2,4,6-tribromophenyl ether: Bromcal 73-5 PE; brominated diphenyl ethers (PBrDE): Bromcal 70-5 DE; decabromodiphenyl ether: Bromcal 82-0. Gas chromatographic retention data of the various constituents were measured on standard GC columns. The data prove the interference of some of the brominated compounds with PCBs and other halogenated pesticides in HRGC using the electron capture detector. 相似文献

Using Raman spectroscopy without any preparation, we analyzed the brominated flame retardant, polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which has been prohibited by the European Union. The typical Raman bands of PBDEs, which are clearly different from those of other brominated flame retardants, are from 100 to 300 cm(-1). In our analysis, the detection limit was about 100 ppm, and the analysis took about 1 min, whereas the usual method of solvent extraction using gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy takes 50 h. 相似文献

A clean-up method was developed to enable the determination of tri-decabrominated diphenyl ethers, isomer-specific hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), (2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromobenzoate (TBB), and bis(2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) in the same dust sample extract using reasonable amounts of solvents and without dividing the sample. After extraction, the sample was separated on a silica column into three fractions that were subsequently cleaned up individually. The polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and DBDPE were eluted in Fraction I, TBB, TBPH, and BTBPE in Fraction II, and HBCDs in Fraction III. Fractions I and II were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and Fraction III using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method gave good recoveries (60-120%), precise results using (13)?C-labelled internal standards and was accurate when comparing results to certified values (PBDEs in NIST SRM 2585). The method was applied to dust samples from the Stockholm (Sweden) area. All the emerging brominated flame retardants (BFRs) studied, except BTBPE, were present in all the samples in quantifiable concentrations, often higher than the PBDEs. BTBPE was quantified in only one sample. It is evident that emerging BFRs are present in Swedish homes, and these compounds should be included in the BFR analyses of indoor environments. 相似文献

A headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HSSPME-GC-MS-MS) methodology for determination of brominated flame retardants in sediment and soil samples is presented. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that SPME has been applied to analyze polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in environmental solid samples. Analyses were performed using 0.5-g solid samples moisturized with 2 mL water, employing a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fiber coating, exposed to the headspace at 100 °C for 60 min. Several types of environmental solid samples were included in this study and the extraction efficiency was related to the organic matter content of the sample. Calibration was performed using real samples, and the method showed good linearity over a wide concentration range, precision, and afforded quantitative recoveries. The obtained detection limits were in the sub-ng g−1 for all the target analytes in both samples. The proposed procedure was applied to several marine and river sediments and soils, some of which were found to contain PBDEs at concentrations in the ng g−1 level; BDE-47, BDE-100, and BDE-99 were the major congeners detected. The proposed method constitutes a rapid and low-cost alternative for the analysis of the target brominated flame retardants in environmental solid samples, since the clean-up steps, fractionation, and preconcentration of extracts inherent to the classical multi-step solvent extraction procedures are avoided.

Pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) was coupled on-line with liquid chromatography-gas chromatography (LC-GC) to determine brominated flame retardants in sediment samples. After extraction with pressurised hot water the analytes were adsorbed in a solid-phase trap. The trap was dried with nitrogen and the analytes were eluted to the LC column, where the extract was cleaned, concentrated and fractionated before transfer to the GC system. The fraction containing the brominated flame retardants was transferred to the GC system via an on-column interface. The PHWE-LC-GC method was linear from 0.0125 to 2.5 microg with limits of detection in the range 0.70-1.41 ng/g and limits of quantification 6.16-12.33 ng/g. 相似文献

Rapid identification of brominated flame retardants by using direct exposure probe mass spectrometry
A rapid method for analyzing brominated flame retardants (BFRs) was developed using direct exposure probe/mass spectrometry (DEP/MS). The BFRs used in this study included 1,2-bis(pentabromophenyl)ethane (EBP), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), which are included in the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS).Quantitative analysis was conducted using octabromodiphenyl ether (octa-BDE), nonabromodiphenyl ether (nona-BDE), and decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE). The samples were extracted by ultrasonication, following which the diluted sample solutions were analyzed by DEP/MS. Finally, the characteristic ions in the mass spectra of BFRs were identified.The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for deca-BDE were 0.163 and 0.495 mg/kg, respectively. The calibration curve showed a linearity (R2 = 0.9984) within 0.5-16 μg/mL. The relative standard deviation ranged from 2.78% to 6.76%. The octa-BDE and nona-BDE samples showed similar results. Finally, the certified reference material (CRM, NMIJ CRM 8108-a, Japan) for the deca-BDE analysis was used, and the recovery was 96.4%. 相似文献

Versatile and fast gas chromatographic determination of frequently used brominated flame retardants in styrenic polymers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two versatile and fast methods to identify and quantify brominated flame retardants (BrFRs) in styrenic polymers were developed. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) as well as gas chromatography with electron-capture detection (GC/ECD), both following ultrasonic-supported dissolution and precipitation (USDP), were applied. The substance range includes poly-brominated biphenyls (PBBs) and diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), as well as other commonly used flame retardants (FRs), including two phosphate-based flame retardants. The methods were verified using congener standards and flame-retardant polymer samples. Good recoveries were found. Overall run time for the analysis, including sample preparation, is less than 60min. 相似文献

A new method was developed and optimized for the detection of major “novel” brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), which included decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), tetrabromobisphenol A-bis(2,3-dibromopropylether) (TBBPA-DBPE), 2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (TBB), bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) and hexachlorocyclopentadienyl-dibromocyclooctane (HCDBCO). Several solid phase sorbents were tested, and finally, a two-step cleanup procedure was established. The first step on activated silica was used to fractionate the dust extracts, while the second step on acidified silica (silica gel impregnated with sulphuric acid 44% w/w) and on Florisil®, respectively, was essential for advanced cleanup. High recoveries for NBFRs (range, 75–94%) were achieved. Analysis was performed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry in electron capture negative ionization using a DB-5ms (15 m?×?0.25 mm?×?0.1 μm) capillary column. Quantification of DBDPE, BTBPE and TBBPA-DBPE was based on ion m/z 79, while characteristic ions were used for quantification of TBB (m/z 359), HCDBCO (m/z 310) and TBPH (m/z 384). The method provided good repeatability; within- and between-day precision were ≤14% for all NBFRs. Method limits of quantification ranged between 1 and 20 ng g?1; dust and NBFRs were not detected in blanks. The method was further applied to indoor dust (n?=?21) collected from e-waste facilities in Thailand. Except for HCDBCO, all NBFRs were detected in the e-waste dust with concentrations up to 44,000 and 22,600 ng g?1 DBDPE and BTBPE, respectively. The dust profile was dominated by DBDPE (50%)?>?BTBPE (45%)?>?TBBPA-DBPE (3%)?>?TBPH (1.9%)?>?TBB (0.1%). Significant correlations (p?0.05) were found between the concentrations of BTBPE and BDE 183 or BDE 197 on the one hand, between TBPH and BDE 47 or BDE 99, and between DBDPE and BDE 209, on the other hand. Concentrations of TBB were not positively correlated with TBPH, which suggests different emission sources. 相似文献

Development of a solid-phase microextraction method for the analysis of phenolic flame retardants in water samples 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Polo M Llompart M Garcia-Jares C Gomez-Noya G Bollain MH Cela R 《Journal of chromatography. A》2006,1124(1-2):11-21
A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method for the ultra-trace determination of brominated phenols in aqueous samples has been developed and is reported for the first time to the best of our knowledge. 3,5,3',5'-tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), the most widely used brominated flame retardant, and other phenolic flame retardants in commercial use, such as 2,4-dibromophenol (2,4-DBP), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) and pentabromophenol (PBP) have been included as target analytes. The analytical procedure involves the in situ acetylation-SPME and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) determination of the target analytes. A multi-factor categorical experimental design was created to study the main parameters affecting the extraction efficiency, allowing also the evaluation of interaction effects between factors. The factors studied were type of fiber, extraction mode, exposing the fiber directly into the sample (DSPME) or into the headspace over the sample (HSSPME), and extraction temperature. Carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (CAR-PDMS) fiber appeared to be the most suitable of the five fibers tested for the extraction of most compounds, excluding PBP and TBBPA for which polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was the most efficient coating. The highest response was achieved for both fibers sampling in headspace mode at 100 degrees C. In order to test the linearity of the method, calibration studies were performed with both CAR-PDMS and PDMS coatings. For both fibers, the method was linear in a range of 2 orders of magnitude, giving relative standard deviation (RSD%) below 10% for most compounds and detection limits at the low pg/mL level. In addition, the feasibility of the method for simultaneous determination of chlorinated and brominated phenols was studied. Finally, the method was applied to several real samples including tap water and effluent and influent waste water samples from an urban treatment plant, in which several phenolic compounds, such as phenol, methylphenols and chlorophenols, could be detected and quantified. 相似文献

Extraction of brominated flame retardants from polymeric waste material using different solvents and supercritical carbon dioxide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abdel mnim Altwaiq 《Analytica chimica acta》2003,491(1):111-123
Different procedures were examined to extract pure and high concentrations of a series of brominated flame retardants from various polymer materials. These procedures include supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2), modified sc-CO2, solvent and soxhlet extraction. Extraction with sc-CO2 gave low extraction efficiencies (between 6 and 20%) probably due to the low pressure of sc-CO2 used. The use of toluene, acetonitrile and THF as modifier in sc-CO2 raised the extraction efficiencies for many flame retardants. High extraction efficiencies were achieved for tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), TBBPA-bis-(2,3-dibromopropylether) (TBBPA-dbp), TBBPA-carbonatoligomer (TBBPA-co) and decabromodiphenylether (DECA) (between 93 and 100%) by using 1-propanol as solvent during soxhlet extraction. Toluene instead of 1-propanol was used where insufficient extraction of the flame retardant occurred. The materials (before and after extraction) were analysed with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF), high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC/UV), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) techniques. The properties of the extracted flame retardants such as TBBPA, TBBPA-dbp and 1,2-bis(tribromophenoxy)-ethane (TBPE) are in good agreement with those of standard reference materials. 相似文献

A procedure for the determination of eight organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers in dust samples is presented. Microwave-assisted extraction and gas chromatography (GC) with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD) were used for sample preparation and analytes quantification, respectively. Influence of different variables (type and volume of organic solvent, temperature, time, agitation, etc.) on the yield of the extraction step was evaluated. The most important factor was the type of solvent, with the highest efficiencies corresponding to acetone. Under final conditions 10 mL of this solvent were employed. The extraction was carried out at 130 degrees C and satisfactory yields, similar to those obtained with the Soxhlet technique, were achieved. Due to the high content of organic carbon in dust samples, primary acetone extracts had to be subjected to intensive clean-up. Dilution with ultrapure water followed by concentration on a reversed-phase sorbent and further purification using silica, allowed a significant reduction of co-extracted interferences. Application of the developed methodology to indoor dust from private houses showed important concentrations of several organophosphate esters. The highest levels, up to 19 microg/g, corresponded to tris(butoxyethyl) phosphate; moreover, average values of two chlorinated compounds, used as flame retardants and considered as the most concerning species in the group, exceeded the 1 microg/g level. 相似文献

A viable approach for the analysis of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in sewage sludge samples is presented in this paper. The proposed method combines ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of the solid sample and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of the obtained extract, followed by gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) analysis. Different parameters affecting the extraction process are evaluated and optimized. The addition of a small amount of Florisil to the sample during UAE provides a significant improvement of the chromatographic background and, at the same time, a much more efficient HS-SPME. Extensive method validation is performed using real sewage sludge samples. The proposed method exhibits good performance in terms of linearity and precision, with recoveries exceeding 92% and limits of detection in the sub ng g(-1) level. Practical applicability is demonstrated through the analysis of real contaminated sewage sludge and sediment samples in which some of the target PBDEs are detected and quantified. This proposed combined methodology represents a large time-saving when compared to other classic multi-step solvent extraction methods and it constitutes a suitable approach for the analysis of the target compounds in environmental complex solid samples. 相似文献

New multiresidue analytical method dedicated to trace level measurement of brominated flame retardants in human biological matrices 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cariou R Antignac JP Marchand P Berrebi A Zalko D Andre F Le Bizec B 《Journal of chromatography. A》2005,1100(2):144-152
A new method has been developed for the multi-residue measurement of the main brominated flame retardants (alpha- and gamma-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBP-A) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers including decabromodiphenyl ether) in human biological matrices (serum, adipose tissue and breast milk). The proposed sample preparation procedure focused on reduced solvent and consumable consumption and associated procedural contamination, as well as reduced sample size. This protocol was fully validated and was proved to be suitable for identification of brominated flame retardant residues at ultra-trace level, as attested by preliminary results on real samples. 相似文献
