Abstract

Dynamic hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled with gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and GC-electron capture detecion (GC-ECD) was used for quantification of toxic haloethers in lake water. The analytes were extracted from 5 ml of aqueous sample using 4 μl of organic solvent through a porous polypropylene hollow fiber. The effects on extraction performance of solvent selection, agitation rate, extraction time, extraction temperature, concentration of salt added and volumes of solvent for extraction and injection were optimized. The proposed method provided a good average enrichment factor of up to 231-fold, reasonable reproducibility ranging from 9 to 12% ( n = 3), and good linearity ( R 2 ≧ 0.9973) for spiked water samples. Method detection limits (MDLs) ranged from 0.55 to 4.30 μg/l for FID and 0.11–0.34 μg/l for ECD ( n = 7).
