Comparison of different removal techniques for selected pharmaceuticals

2015

[EN] Recently, there is an emergence of endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (EDC/PPCPs) as important pollutants to remove from drinking water and reclaimed wastewater. In this work, the efficiency of removing pharmaceuticals (PCs) from model aqueous solutions and raw wastewater with ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), activated carbon adsorption (AC), biological methods (SBR) and oxidation with ClO2 was investigated. Some treatments have also been used as combined processes: UF + NF, UF +AC, SBR + ClO2. Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Diclofenac, Sulfamethoxazole, Clonazepam, and Diazepam were selected as model compounds. In order to evaluate their r…

A new ionic liquid dimethyldinonylammonium bromide as a flow modifier for the simultaneous determination of eight carboxylates by capillary electroph…

2005

Two new methods of capillary zone electrophoresis based on aqueous phosphate running buffers with UV spectrophotometric detection were developed and optimized for the determination of eight carboxylates as copper complexes. Metalcomplexes are negatively charged, so measurements were made as anion analyses with flow reversal in the capillary. Two flow modifiers were used: a common tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) and a new ionic liquid dimethyldinonylammonium bromide (DMDNAB). The methods were compared to each other. Better separation was achieved with DMDNAB as the flow modifier. Method development was done using a fused silica capillary (61 cm x 50 microm i.d.). Optimization was …

Gas chromatographic study of acetyl derivatives of chlorinated 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes

1982

The GC retention times of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its chloro derivatives have been measured on three nonpolar capillary columns. Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to explain the mobility of chlorinated compounds relative to the reference compound 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The most important effects have shown to be due to the number of chlorine atoms and the substituents ortho to the formyl group. Other effects have also been observed but found to be unable to explain the GC data.

Isolation of chlorinated dibenzothiophenes by high-performance thin-layer chromatography

1991

Abstract Chlorinated dibenzothiophenes can cause environmental problems analogous to chlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans. In the analysis of chlorinated dibenzodioxins by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry some unknown chlorinated compounds have been found. The chlorinated dibenzothiophenes have the same m/z values as the corresponding dioxins in low-resolution mass spectrometry and they are found in same planar aromatic compound fraction in alumina and carbon column chromatography. Some chlorinated dibenzothiophenes were synthesized to serve as model compounds in analytical work. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with different plates and several eluents was tried…

A Study of Lipid-Lipid and Lipid-Polypeptide Interactions by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

1984

Abstract Ternary systems containing phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine-gramicidin A or cholesterol-gramicidin A in tetrahydrofuran have been examined by high performance liquid chromatography. Preferential solvation of cholesterol and especially gramicidin A by phosphatidylcholine is observed. These results are interpreted in terms of hydrophobic interactions between membrane components.

Determination of triazines and organophosphorus pesticides in water samples using solid-phase extraction.

1991

Abstract Octadecyl (C 18 )-bonded porous silica was evaluated for the extraction of triazine and organophosphorus pesticides from natural water. The extraction results showed an effective performance when 1 l of water was passed through small glass columns containing 500 mg of 50–100-μm C 18 bonded porous silica. The absorbed compounds were removed with ethyl acetate, evaporated to 200 μl and determined by gas chromatography. The overall average recoveries were greater than 85% except for dimethoate and trichlorfon. Application of this procedure to the analysis of natural water samples gave results that agree well with those obtained by solvent extraction methods.

Off-line dansylation of amines using C18 solid-phase packings: study of the fluorescence and chemiluminescence detection by post-column derivatizatio…

1999

Abstract Dansylation of amines (primaries and secondaries) using C18 solid-phase supports is described. The time of analysis and the handing sample have been markedly improved with respect to those required for solution dansylation. The dansylated amine derivates were injected onto the liquid chromatography system and fluorescence detected. The sensitivity and selectivity is better than the other dansylation procedures described in the literature and also better than other derivatization reagents such 1,2-napthoquinone 4-sulfonate (NQS) or 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (3,5-DNB). Dansyl compounds can also form chemiluminescent derivatives, therefore a post-column derivatization procedure with…

Solid-phase extraction of quaternary ammonium herbicides

2000

This paper highlights recent advances in the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of quaternary ammonium herbicides in water, soil, plant and biological samples. After a brief introduction summarizing the properties of quaternary ammonium herbicides and the difficulties involved in measuring them, attention is paid primarily to solid supports used for isolation and concentration, pre-treatments required for the different matrices, and eluents applied for quantitative desorption of these analytes. The determination techniques used after SPE and applications of the proposed SPE methodology are also briefly discussed.
