Purge-and-Trap Extraction with a Miniaturized Extraction Capillary for the Determination of Aqueous Formic Acids in Ion Chromatography

Abstract

Aqueous formic acid (FA) was determined by purge-and-trap extraction with a miniaturized extraction capillary using ion chromatography (IC). The extraction capillary was prepared by packing particulate activated carbon in a stainless-steel capillary (0.8 mm i.d., 1.6 mm o.d.). FA was purged from the sample solution and extracted on the extraction medium in its molecular form. Following extraction, the extraction capillary was connected directly to a six-port valve of the IC. The extracted analyte was eluted with sodium hydroxide solution as the formate ion and introduced to a conventional IC. The extraction capillary can be reused after conditioned by passing hydrochloric acid solution. The limit of detection of FA in a standard aqueous sample is 0.5 mg/L. The method was successfully applied to determine FA in fruit juices without significant interference.

Research on fully automatic analysis methods for hydrogen energy

“…Its magnitude depends on the intrinsic noise value of the instrument and the detection peak value of the minimum concentration of impurities. The calculation methods are divided into theoretical values and actual detection values [9,10] . In this study, by calculating the actual detection values of total halides and formic acid, when the peak height is just equal to or greater than twice the noise peak height, that concentration is the LOD for that component.…”

Carbon Dioxide Laser Supersonic Drawing Nanofiber Sheet for Extraction of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Water Samples

“…Miniaturized extraction devices are one of the promising sample preparation devices because they enable reducing sample and solvent volumes, and analytical costs [10,11]. Our research group has developed miniaturized extraction capillaries for extraction of organic compounds in HPLC analysis [12,13] and ion chromatographic analysis [14]. The extraction capillary was prepared by packing silica gel particles into a stainless steel capillary with a 0.8 mm i.d.…”

Poly(ethylene glycol) Methyl Ether Methacrylate-bonded Stationary Phase in Ion Chromatography and Its Application to Seawater Samples

“…Since it was introduced in 1975 by Small et al, 1 ion chromatography (IC) has been used to separate inorganic cations [2][3][4] and anions [2][3][4][5][6] , and/or small organic ions 3,7 in aqueous samples as a routine method. Until now, various types of stationary phases have been developed in IC, and most stationary phases have functional groups with charged or chargeable moieties, where analyte ions undergo an electrostatic attraction and/or repulsion.…”
