Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous samples by reversed-phase performance liquid chromatography

Abstract: An analytical method is described for the determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aqueous samples. These 16 PAHs are of environmental concern, since 15 of them are included on the EPA Priority Pollutant list. After liquid-liquid extraction, the concentrated samples are analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. These 16 PAHs are almost fully resolved chromatographically, so they can be determined in a single run. The method is applied to the analysis of… Show more

“…The transmittance of the interference filters was accounted for in the selection of excitation and fluorescence wavelengths. Compared with detection limits by conventional HPLC fluorescence spectrophotometric detectors, the present values of 0.005-0.2 ng are better or at least comparable to those of previous HPLC spectrofluorometric detectors (IO,(17)(18)(19)(20). The spectrum of the Xe lamp was not considered in the choice of detection wavelengths.…”

“…As in the case of the PAH, the a values for the longer solutes (i.e., based on length-to-breadth ratios) tend to increase significantly with increasing surface coverage (e.g., compound no. 35 with the parent PAH the longer isomers have increasing a values with incrleasing surface coverage. As reported previously ( I ) , polymeric CI8 materials generally provide more resolution of individual methyl isomers than do the monomeric materials.…”

“…(35) for the separation of the 16 priority pollutant PAH and the study of Amos(8), dibenz[a,h]anthracene eluted prior to benzo[ghi]perylene, whereas Wise et al (4) and Colmsjo and MacDonald (7) showed chromatograms in which benzo-[ghilperylene eluted first. Presumably, Wise et al (4) and Colmsjo and MacDonald (7) used columns from lob with high surface coverage, whereas Ogan et al (359 and Amos…”

“…In the second article, Katz and Ogan (12) observed that the selectivity factors for several pairs of PAHs differed significantly on the HC-ODS compared to other commercial columns and that the selectivity factors for these same PAH pairs also varied slightly for different production lots of the material used for the HC-ODS columns. Of particular interest and concern was the selectivity factor for dibenzo[a,h]anthracene (DBahA) and benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) since these two priority pollutant PAHs were not completely baseline resolved in their previously reported method (10). By monitoring α DBahA/BghiP and α for a second PAH pair, benzo[e]pyrene and benzo[b]fluoranthene, they defined a range of α values for these two PAH pairs that provided the appropriate separation of the 16 EPA PAHs for their method.…”
