Determination of chlorinated paraffins in sediments from the Firth of Clyde by gas chromatography with electron capture negative ionisation mass spectrometry and carbon skeleton analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection

Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are a group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) of increasing concern, but are to date not widely investigated in the environment, largely due to the challenges involved in their quantification. Here, SCCPs were quantified in marine sediments from the Firth of Clyde, Scotland, by gas chromatography with electron capture negative ionisation mass spectrometry (GC-ECNIMS) and through carbon skeleton analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), and the analytical challenges encountered are discussed. Concentrations in the sediments ranged from 0.4 to 69 μg kg⁻¹ when determined by GC-ECNIMS, and from 5.6 to 379 μg kg⁻¹ when determined by GC-FID. For 8 out of 11 samples, analysis by GC-FID gave higher results than analysis by GC-ECNIMS. Unexpected aspects of the analysis, such as the presence of high concentrations of longer chain chlorinated paraffins in the samples, are also presented.     

Retention time profiling of all 136 tetra- through octa- chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans on a variety of Si-Arylene gas chromatographic stationary phases

The applicability of three different Silphenylene Silicone co-polymer (Si-Arylene) GC stationary phases (J&W Scientific DB-5ms, Varian VF-5ms, and VF-Xms) has been evaluated for the separation of all 136 tetra- through the octa- chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and chlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) from closely eluting isomers using gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (GC/HRMS). Their relative performance data are compared to the “conventional” 5% diphenyl 95% dimethylpolysiloxane GC column (Supelco Equity-5) and to each other based on absolute retention times, visualized mass chromatograms, and the separation of 2,3,7,8-substituted isomers. VF-Xms GC column was able to demonstrate a better performance towards separation of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/PCDF compared to other Si-Arylene GC columns tested, where only 2,3,4,7,8-PnCDF can not be resolved from 1,2,3,6,9-PnCDF and 2,3,4,6,7,8-/1,2,3,6,8,9-HxCDF and 1,2,3,7,8,9-/1,2,3,4,8,9-HxCDF can be at least partially resolved. These data suggest that the development of a single GC column for the separation of all 17 2,3,7,8-substituted dioxins and furans is feasible, which therefore could be used as a standard tool for the PCDD/PCDF methods globally including USEPA methods 1613b, 8290A, 8280B, European Standard Method EN 1948, Canadian methods DFPCB-E3418, EPS 1/RM/19, Japanese methods JIS K0311 and JIS K0312. Having one specific GC column to separate all 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/PCDF will significantly improve the data quality, comparability by the various methods and assessment techniques while simultaneously leading to a more cost and time efficient operation.

Microwave-assisted stripping of oil contaminated drill cuttings

The application of microwave heating technology to conventional gas stripping processes has been investigated in the remediation of contaminated drill cuttings. The technical feasibility and limitations of nitrogen and steam stripping processes are demonstrated, and it is shown that the combination of microwave heating with the stripping process offers a step change in performance. Order of magnitude improvements in processing time are shown for the microwave-assisted processes, as well as greatly improved levels of remediation. The mechanisms of contaminant removal are discussed, along with the phenomena which occur with microwave heating processes. The energy requirements of each of pure gas and microwave-assisted processes are also discussed, and the potential applications of each technology are highlighted relative to the overall remediation requirements.     

Crosslinking and stabilization of high fractional free volume polymers for gas separation

Crosslinkable poly(4-methyl-2-pentyne) (PMP) membranes were cast from carbon tetrachloride solutions containing PMP and either 4,4′-diazidobenzophenone or 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenyl azide. The composite membranes were transparent and homogeneous and were crosslinked by UV irradiation at room temperature or thermal treatment at 180 °C. Low levels of the bis(aryl azide) (1–4.5 wt%) were effective in rendering the membranes insoluble in cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride, both are good solvents for PMP, thus PMP can easily be converted to mechanically stable membranes with permeabilities and selectivities comparable or higher than those of the well-known poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The permeabilities of O₂, N₂, H₂, CH₄ and CO₂ were measured. Compared to pure PMP, the crosslinked membranes containing bis(aryl azide) had lower permeabilities and higher selectivities, consistent with a reduction in free volume.     

Determination of dithiocarbamate fungicide propineb and its main metabolite propylenethiourea in airborne samples

A simple, rapid and sensitive GC–MS method for the determination of dithiocarbamate fungicide propineb [polymeric zinc propylenebis (dithiocarbamate)] and an improved HPLC procedure for the simultaneous determination of its main metabolite, propylenethiourea, and ethylenethiourea, the main metabolite of all ethylenedithiocarbamates, in airborne samples are described. The method for the analysis of propineb involves the evolution of carbon disulfide (CS₂), under acidic conditions in the presence of stannous chloride, extraction of the generated CS₂ into a layer of isooctane which is then analyzed for CS₂ content by GC–MS in SIM mode. Under the optimum conditions, the retention time of CS₂ was 1.89 min and the total time of chromatographic analysis was 5 min. Recoveries from spiking glass microfibre filters (GF/A) and silica gel filters were 86 ± 7 (n = 9) and 89 ± 4 (n = 9), respectively. The limit of detection is 0.7 ng per filter, which is equivalent to about 0.8–1.0 ng m⁻³ in air. In parallel, an HPLC method with ultraviolet detection is presented for the simultaneous analysis of the metabolites. Separation of the two metabolites was attained in less than 5 min. Recoveries from spiking GF/A and silica gel filters for ethylenethiourea were 100 ± 1 (n = 3) and 98 ± 2 (n = 3), respectively, while for propylenethiourea were 102 ± 1 (n = 3) and 98 ± 1 (n = 3), respectively. The detection limits are about 36–43 and 40–49 ng m⁻³ in air for ethylenethiourea and propylenethiourea, respectively. All the analytes spiked in the filters are proven to be stable for more than one month, at −4 °C.     

Analysis of a gas-phase partitioning tracer test conducted in an unsaturated fractured-clay formation

The gas-phase partitioning tracer method was used to estimate non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL), water, and air saturations in the vadose zone at a chlorinated-solvent contaminated field site in Tucson, AZ. The tracer test was conducted in a fractured-clay system that is the confining layer for the underlying regional aquifer. Three suites of three tracers were injected into wells located 14, 24, and 24 m from a single, central extraction well. The tracers comprised noble gases (traditionally thought to be nonsorbing), alkanes (primarily water partitioning), perfluorides (primarily NAPL partitioning), and halons (both NAPL and water partitioning). Observations of vacuum response were consistent with flow in a fractured system. The halon tracers exhibited the greatest amount of retardation, and helium and the perfluoride tracers the least. The alkane tracers were unexpectedly more retarded than the perfluoride tracers, indicating low NAPL saturations and high water saturations. An NAPL saturation of 0.01, water saturation of 0.215, and gas saturation of 0.775 was estimated based on analysis of the suite of tracers comprising helium, perfluoromethylcyclohexane and dibromodifluoromethane, which was considered to be the most robust set. The estimated saturations compare reasonably well to independently determined values.
