Determination of group parameters for organically bound chlorine, bromine and iodine in precipitation
1Department of Water and Environmental Studies, Linkoping University, Sweden.
Abstract:
The presence of organically bound halogens in precipitation was studied by first adsorbing organics on activated carbon and then analysing the chloride, bromide and iodide formed during combustion of the carbon. A standard instrument for the group parameter AOX (adsorbable organic halogens) was used for the combustion. The halides formed were trapped in an alkaline solution and analysed by capillary zone electrophoresis. The method described enabled determination of sub-ppb concentrations of the group parameters AOCl, AOBr and AOI (adsorbable organic chlorine, bromine and iodine, respectively). Analysis of rain and snow collected at different sites in Europe showed that organochlorines were responsible for the major part of the AOX content in all samples collected. Organically bound bromine was found in sub-ppb concentrations in all of the samples, whereas organic iodine was detected in only two of the samples.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
