Photochemical sample treatment for extracts clean up in PCB analysis from sediments.
2013
Sample purification can be considered the most polluting step of the whole analytical process for PCBs determination in sediment samples. The use of photochemical sample treatment represents an alternative methodology for extracts clean up allowing for a reduction of the used amount of organic solvents. The first application of a photochemical sample treatment for the selective removal or reduction of organic substances interfering with PCBs analyses in sediments is reported. The method's efficiency and robustness were compared with currently used chromatographic purification. Quality parameters such as recovery, linearity and reproducibility were studied. The entire procedure was validated…
Silica Materials Containing Cyclodextrin for Pollutant Removal
2018
This chapter reviews the use of cyclodextrin-silica hybrid systems and cyclodextrin-functionalized silica used as adsorbents or filters for the removal of inorganic and organic pollutants from aqueous solutions in solid-phase extraction and adsorption-oriented processes. Actually, there is a need to develop efficient processes for the synthesis and application of multifunctional silica-based materials for pollutant removal by adsorption or filtration, and for sample purification and concentration using solid-phase extraction.
