Abstract

Membrane extraction disks have been recently introduced for the solid-phase extraction of organic compounds from aqueous samples. The material consists of alkyl-modified silica particles enmeshed in an inert PTEE matrix. Aqueous samples containing polar pesticides and herbicides, are preconcentrated on-line from acidic solutions on membrane extraction disks containing immobilized octadecyl-modified silica and analyzed with an isocratic liquid chromatographic system using PLRP-S as the stationary phase and aqueous acetonitrile mixtures (pH 3) as the eluent. Data on the lifetime and the dimensions of the preconcentration disks, and the efficiency and the repeatability of the procedure are reported. For 10 ml samples, the detection limits of the analytes atrazine, simazine and 2,3,4-trichlorophenol in tap water are 0.1–1 ppb.
