Abstract: | Summary Extra-fine powdered activated charcoal has been used as stationary phase (coating layer) in solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The efficiency and reliability of the prepared device have been investigated for the extraction of some volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene isomers (BTEX) from the headspace of water samples. Monitoring of the extracted compounds and further quantitative analysis of the real samples have been performed by capillary GC-FID. Effects of several factors such as temperature, addition of salt, and stirring speed on extraction efficiency and exposure time have been studied. Under optimum conditions, extraction recoveries for these compounds from 50 mL water were >95%. The calibration graphs were linear in the range 5 to 104 pg mL−1 and the detection limit for each BTEX compound was 1.5–2 pg mL−1. The results obtained by use of this porous layer activated charcoal (PLAC)-coated fiber have also been compared with results reported in the literature by use of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated fiber.
