Abstract

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) rates of spiked polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) from Florisil, spiked [{sup 13}C]PCDDs and native PCDDs from fly ash, and spiked [{sup 2}H]polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and native PAHs from marine sediment and railroad bed soil were examined at 40, 120, and 200 {degree}C, while constant fluid density (d = 0.67 g/mL) and flow rate were maintained. In all cases, native analytes were extracted more slowly than spiked analytes, suggesting that additional processes affect SFE rates of native analytes. A kinetic model was used that could help distinguish between these processes and included terms for matrix-fluid mass transport, as well as partitioning and bulk mass transport in the supercritical fluid. Using a three-rate constant desorption model to describe mass transport, good correlations (r{sup 2} > 0.9 in most cases) were obtained with experimental data for native analytes, and desorption rate constants suggest that analyte-matrix interactions are strong. The results of this study show that increasing the extraction temperature is a simple and effective method to increase SFE rates while still exploiting the advantages of supercritical CO{sub 2}, and can be used regardless of whether slow SFE rates are due to poor partitioning into the fluid or limited bymore »« less

Extremely slowly desorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from soot and soot-like materials: evidence by supercritical fluid extraction

Journal Article Jonker, Michiel T.O. ; Hawthorne, Steven B ; Koelmans, Albert A - Environmental Science and Technology

Combustion-derived PAHs are strongly sorbed to their particulate carrier (i.e., soot, charcoal), and therefore, very slow desorption kinetics of the chemicals might be anticipated. Measurements are however lacking, because conventional methods (Tenax, XAD, gas-purging) fail to accurately determine desorption kinetics due to practical problems. In this study, we used a mild supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method, which mimics desorption into water and circumvents these problems, to quantify desorption kinetics of 13 native PAHs from pure charcoal, coal, and four types of soot. The results show that generally only very small PAH fractions are released. Desorption behavior was, however, not relatedmore »« less

Evaluation of a sampling and analysis method for determination of polyhalogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in ambient air

Technical Report Harless, R L ; Lewis, R G ; McDaniel, D D ; ...

General Metals Works PS-1 PUF air samplers and an analytical method based on high resolution gas chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC-HRMS) were evaluated for determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDDs/PBDFs) and bromo/chloro dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (BCDDs/BCDFs) in ambient air. Dilute solutions of these compounds and (13)C12-1,2,3,4-TCDD were used to spike the filters of PS-1 air samplers which were then operated 24 hrs to sample 350-400 cu m ambient air. After sampling, each quartz-fiber filter and polyurethane foam (PUF) were spiked with (13)C12-labeled PCDD, PCDF, PBDD, and PBDF internal standards before separate Soxhletmore »« less

PCBs, PCDD/Fs and PAHs in dissolved, suspended and settling particulate matrixes from the Baltic Sea

Conference Naef, C ; Broman, D ; Zebuehr, Y

The occurrence and dynamics of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are discussed on the basis of results from samples taken at pristine coastal and off shore locations in the Baltic Sea. The sampling techniques used were high volume cross flow filtration and sediment traps for suspended and settling particulate matter, respectively, and polyurethane foam adsorbents for the compounds associated with the apparently dissolved fractions. All samples were Soxhlet extracted with toluene and separated on a HPLC system followed by quantification on GS/MS. The importance of parameters such as concentrations of particulate lipids, particulatemore »« less
Analysis of polychlorinated dibenzofurans and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins in transformers and capacitors: Volume 1, PCDF/PCDD at New York State Health Department: Final report

Technical Report Hilker, D R ; Eadon, G A ; Aldous, K M ; ...

Seven samples of in-service utility fluids were analyzed for nineteen different polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) compounds. Generated calibration plots for eight different individual compounds were linear over four orders of magnitude concentrations. Analyses in triplicate provided some insight on reproducibility of method. Spiked samples were analyzed with an average error of 28.9%, indicating that for the chosen analytes in this type of oily matrix, the method was quite reproducible and accurate. The relative standard deviation was less than 30% for more than 92% of the analyte determinations. The study showed that the samples of in-service utility fluidsmore »« less
