Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in water is an important tool for monitoring of contamination due to oil spills or leaking storage tanks. In this study, a screening method for the quantification of total petroleum hydrocarbons in water based on solid phase microextraction (SPME) in combination with gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is presented. Extraction of hydrocarbons from water samples were conducted by SPME fiber coating placed into the headspace above water. Petroleum hydrocarbons were desorbed from the fiber coating in the injection port of gas chromatograph. The effect of the following parameters affecting the distribution of the analytes between three phases on the response of TPH were studied: SPME fiber coating type and dimensions, extraction temperature, extraction time and pH. The optimized method uses 100 μm polydimethylsiloxane fiber coating, extraction time 600 s, extraction temperature 80 °C, without addition of salt at basic pH. The developed method was successfully applied for detection of total petroleum hydrocarbons in water taken from Koschagyl oil fields and Koschagyl village.

Dalam kajian ini, teknik pengekstrakan mikro fasa pepejal (SPME) diikuti dengan kromatografi gas (GC) telah digunakan untuk menentukan sisa letupan. Beberapa parameter termasuk masa penjerapan, masa dan suhu nyahjerapan, jenis gentian SPME, kesan pengadukan dan kesan garam telah dioptimumkan untuk mendapat data yang tepat. Penambahan 10% w/v NaCl dalam medium akues dan penggunaan gentian Carboxen/Polidimetilsiloksana (CAR/PDMS) menghasilkan pengekstrakan yang paling cekap. SPME/GC–ECD yang telah dioptimumkan digunakan untuk menganalisis sisa letupan 2,6–dinitrotoluena (2,6–DNT), trinitrotoluena (TNT) dan pentaeritritol tetranitrat (PETN) berjaya dikesan daripada sampel air. SPME/GC–ECD secara rendaman langsung didapati kaedah yang menarik digunakan untuk menganalisis bahan letupan dalam sampel air pasca letupan secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Kata kunci: Bahan letupan, SPME rendaman langsung, GC–ECD, sampel air pasca letupan In this study, a solid–phase microextraction (SPME) technique followed by gas chromatography (GC) was used to determine explosive residues. Several parameters including adsorption time, desorption time and temperature, SPME fiber types, stirring effect and salting out effect were optimized to obtain reproducible data with good accuracy. Addition of 10% w/v of NaCl in the aqueous medium and the use of a Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fiber coating led to optimal extraction efficiencies. The optimized SPME/GC–ECD method was applied to the trace analysis of explosive residues in water samples. 2,6–dinitrotoluene (2,6–DNT), trinitrotoluene (TNT) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) were successfully detected from water samples. Direct Immersion SPME/GC–ECD was found to be an attractive technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of explosives in post blast water samples. Key words: Explosives, direct immersion SPME, GC–ECD, post blast water samples

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a 100-µm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fiber coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to determine 16 phthalate esters (PAEs) in wastewater from textile processing plants. Some of the 16 PAEs that exist as mixtures of isomers were identified and quantified. We investigated the matrix effect and evaluated a qualification and quantitation method for determining trace amounts of PAEs in wastewater from textile processing plants. The major advantages of this approach are the reduced matrix effects from the textile wastewater and the compatibility with the standard addition method (SAM) for PAE quantitation. Moreover, the developed method has low reagent and solvent consumption, does not require clean-up or evaporation steps and involves minimal sample manipulation. Two fiber coatings, 85-µm polyacrylate and 100-µm PDMS, were tested. The variables affecting SPME absorption, such as the sample temperature, extraction time and salt concentration, were studied. The final conditions were an extraction temperature of 95℃, an extraction time of 30 min and a salt concentration of 0.3 g/mL. The SAM was used to analyze and quantify samples. The linear range was between 5 and 20 µg/L, and the limits of detection of the method were between 0.5 and 5 µg/L. Finally, the precision of the phthalate quantitation was also evaluated.
