The study is focussed on the conditions that would provide the best ozone oxidation to decrease the taste and odour of the water from Eagle Gorge Reservoir. This study incorporated advanced analytical methods, such as solid phase microextraction (SPME) and flavour profile analyses (FPA), to evaluate the best method for improving taste and odour. The study developed first-order relationships between ozone dose and the oxidation of several taste and odour compounds. The results focussed on the importance and interactions between ozone dose, pH, hydrogen peroxide and contact time.

A pilot-scale study of ozone and PEROXONE (ozone in combination with hydrogen peroxide) for the removal of the odorous compounds 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin in drinking water has been conducted at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The study investigated the effects of ozone dosage, ratio of hydrogen peroxide to ozone (H202/03), and contact time. It was found that MIB and geosmin removal increased with higher applied ozone doses, but longer contact times over the range of 6-12 min were not significant. It was determined that 80-90 percent removal could be achieved with an ozone dose of approximately 4.0 mg/l, as compared to an ozone dose of approximately 2.0 mg/l at a H202/03 ratio of 0.2. Also investigated were the effects of alternative contactor configurations, ferrous sulfate as an alternative coagulant, bromide and ammonia addition, and simulated turbidity on the removal efficiencies of the two odorous compounds.

Ionic     liquid (IL), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium-3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (C12mimHNC) was synthesized and coated on the surface of NiTi as solid phase microextractiom fiber coating for determination the octadecylamine in brine. Prior to modification with IL, the NiTi was hydrothermally treated for in-situ growth of titanium and nickel oxide composite nanosheets (TiO2/NiOCNSs). The TiO2/NiOCNSs fibers coating was oriented  around the NiTi  substrate and  presented  double-faced  open  access  sites,  which provided a desired support framework for the further modification with IL. The extraction performance of C12mimHNC-TiO2/NiOCNSs fiber coating was evaluated for       detection of octadecylamine (ODA) coupled to HPLC with UV detection. As a result, the C12mimHNC-TiO2/NiOCNSs fiber coating illustrated excellent adsorption and extraction capability for ODA. The main factors affected extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimized  conditions,  good  linearity was  obtained  in  the  range of  1-150  µg/L with correlation  coefficients  (r2)  above  0.985.  Limits of detection (LODs) for  the  developed method was 0.280 µg/L. The proposed method was first applied to extract the ODA in brine samples. Relative recoveries varied from 78.3% to 96.5% at spiking level of 15µg/L and 30 µg/L with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 8.7%.

Implementing green analytical methodologies has been one of the main objectives of the analytical chemistry community for the past two decades. Sample preparation and extraction procedures are two parts of analytical method development that can be best adapted to meet the principles of green analytical chemistry. The goal of transitioning to green analytical chemistry is to establish new methods that perform comparably—or superiorly—to traditional methods. The use of assessment tools to provide an objective and concise evaluation of the analytical methods’ adherence to the principles of green analytical chemistry is critical to achieving this goal. In this review, we describe various sample preparation and extraction methods that can be used to increase the greenness of a given analytical method. We gave special emphasis to modern microextraction technologies and their important contributions to the development of new green analytical methods. Several manuscripts in which the greenness of a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique was compared to other sample preparation strategies using the Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI), a green assessment tool, were reviewed.
