Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Hollow fiber microextraction (HFME) is effective for analyte extraction and preconcentration.
  • Solvent (acceptor) loss from the membrane during HFME limits extraction efficiency and reproducibility.
  • Stabilizing the acceptor is crucial for achieving high enrichment and reliable results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for stabilizing the organic acceptor in hollow fiber microextraction.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of barrier films in preventing acceptor outflow and enhancing extraction performance.
  • To assess the extraction efficiency, reproducibility, and linearity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using the stabilized HFME technique.

Main Methods:

  • Coating hollow fiber membranes with various compounds to create a low permeability barrier film.

  • Applying the stabilized HFME technique for the extraction and preconcentration of six PAHs.
  • Analyzing the extracted PAHs using appropriate analytical techniques to determine enrichment factors, detection limits, reproducibility, and linearity.

    • Main Results:

    • Barrier films effectively protected the organic acceptor, significantly reducing its outflow.
    • Enrichment factors for six PAHs ranged from 494 to 4555.
    • Achieved low parts per billion (ppb) to parts per trillion (ppt) detection limits.
    • Demonstrated good reproducibility with relative standard deviations (RSDs) between 1.60% and 7.65%.
    • Obtained large linear dynamic ranges with excellent linearity (R2 values between 0.9870 and 0.9997).

    Conclusions:

    • Coating hollow fiber membranes with barrier films is a viable strategy to stabilize the acceptor and enhance microextraction performance.
    • The developed method offers high enrichment, low detection limits, good reproducibility, and wide linear dynamic ranges for PAH analysis.
    • This approach holds significant promise for improving the efficiency and reliability of hollow fiber-based microextraction techniques in various analytical applications.
