Abstract A porous carbon sorbent prepared by controlled pyrolysis of saccharose in a matrix of silica gel was tested for the preconcentration of a variety of compounds differing in polarity and volatility (hydrocarbons, halocarbons, oxygenated compounds) in simulated and real air samples. The trapped components were desorbed off-line by liquid-(carbon disulphide and carbon disulphide with 1% methanol) and on-line by thermo-desorption in combination with HRCGC. Adsorption-desorption properties of the sorbent were evaluated according to the determined recovery values, whereby physicochemical interactions of both the sorbent and solute were taken into consideration. With oxygenated compounds recovery data indicate the presence of active sites on the surface of the sorbent.
