    Notes: Summary Membrane extraction disks have been recently introduced for the solid-phase extraction of organic compounds from aqueous samples. The material consists of alkyl-modified silica particles enmeshed in an inert PTEE matrix. Aqueous samples containing polar pesticides and herbicides, are preconcentrated on-line from acidic solutions on membrane extraction disks containing immobilized octadecyl-modified silica and analyzed with an isocratic liquid chromatographic system using PLRP-S as the stationary phase and aqueous acetonitrile mixtures (pH 3) as the eluent. Data on the lifetime and the dimensions of the preconcentration disks, and the efficiency and the repeatability of the procedure are reported. For 10 ml samples, the detection limits of the analytes atrazine, simazine and 2,3,4-trichlorophenol in tap water are 0.1–1 ppb.

    Notes: Summary An on-line trace-enrichment system, using a bifunctional membrane extraction-disk cartridge, has been combined with a column liquid chromatography separation for the simultaneous determination of basic, neutral and acidic pollutants in surface water. The enrichment device consisted of a specially constructed holder containing both C-18 and cation-exchange disks. The holder can contain up to 25 disks of 0.5 mm thickness and 4.6 mm diameter. Before trace enrichment of 20 ml of surface water (pH 3.0), calcium ions were removed from the sample by means of an oxalic acid precipitation. Desorption of the cartridge was at elevated temperature using reversed-phase gradient elution; detection was performed with a diode-array UV absorbance detector. The detection limits for the test compounds in surface water are typically 0.5–2 μg/l; the calibration graphs are linear from the lower limit of determination up to 50 μg/l.

    Notes: Summary A specific HPLC method has been developed for the trace analysis of lower chlorinated aromatic compounds. The method consists of an on-line preconcentration and a post-column reaction step. On-line preconcentration of mono- and dichlorophenols from aqueous samples has been performed using PRP1, a divinylbenzene-styrene copolymeric sorbent as packing material for both pre-and analytical column. Enrichment factors of over 300 were obtained compared to regular (100 μl) loop injections, even for the highly polar monochlorophenols. After reversed-phase separation, post-column photochemical dechlorination is carried out directly in the eluent stream, using a photochemical reactor. Upon dechlorination, fluorescent products are formed, which can be detected selectively. The resulting fluorescence signal shows a linear response to the quantity of solute present over 2 to 3 orders of magnitude (correlation coefficients: 0.990–0.98). For the mono- and dichlorophenols, the detection limit of the photoconversion method is in the lower nanogram range. The method is especially suitable for the analysis of complex matrices such as effluent water samples or biological fluids containing traces of the polar chloroaromatic compounds together with large amounts of other constituents, which interfere when using more general methods of detection like UV absorption. The potential of this technique for automation has been demonstrated by using a microprocessor-controlled column switching unit.

    Notes: Summary Column-switching with two C18 separation columns combined with UV detection at 233 nm has been used to determine ETU in ground water samples. The direct assay of ETU (limit of detection, 1 ppb) takes less than 10 min. For the determination of ETU down to a level of 0.1 ppb, preconcentration of ETU is achieved by a liquid-liquid extraction procedure allowing the analysis of at least 12 water samples per day. For both methods (1-ppb and 0.1-ppb level), the overall recovery (96 and 82%), the repeatability (4.5 and 4.3%) and the reproducibility (5.0 and 7.9%) are satisfactory (n=18 and 28, respectively). More than one hundred samples of ground water were analysed during a 10-month period; over 0.1 ppb of ETU (range, 0.1–300 ppb) was found in 30% of the samples tested.

    Notes: Summary An isocratic column liquid chromatographic system with UV absorbance detection at 230 nm has been developed for the rapid trace-level determination of a large number of polar pollutants in water. The systems contains two precolumns, in series, which are packed with a styrenedivinylbenzene (PLRP-S) polymer. The second precolumn is also loaded with sodium dodecylsulphate before use. Each precolumn is combined with a PLRP-S analytical column, and aqueous acetonitrile mixtures (pH 3) are used for the separation of neutral as well as acidic and basic pollutants. With 10-ml water samples the detection limits for all analytes, in tap water, are in the low to sub μg/l range. Relevant analytical data are reported and the advantage of using a dodecylsulphate-loaded precolumn over a cation-exchange precolumn is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Mass spectra of 12 triazines were obtained by electron impact (EI), positive-ion chemical ionization (PCI) and negative-ion chemical ionization (NCI) using methane and isobutane as reagent gases. EI mass spectrometry is more sensitive than PCI and NCI, although the chemical ionization modes increase selectivity markedly. A pre-column packed with polymer stationary phase was employed to preconcentrate surface and drinking water samples. After desorption of the analytes with ethyl acetate, an aliquot was injected directly into the GC-MS system. Atrazine and simizine were found in these samples at 10–80 ppt levels. The limits of detection for both herbicides were below 10 ppt in drinking water.
