9、raphy3. Summary of Practice3.1 This practice employs liquid/liquid extraction to isolatecompounds of interest. The sample is added to an extractiondevice. The solvent may be added to the sample container or anextraction device and extracted for a period of 5 min. Thesolvent is then ready for analysi
10、s. If required, the pH may beadjusted and salt may be added prior to extraction to increasethe extraction specificity and efficiency.3.2 The solvent extract may be further processed usingsample clean-up and concentration techniques. The analytes inthe solvent may be analyzed using instrumental metho
11、ds forspecific volatile or semivolatile organic compounds. Thispractice does not include sample extract clean-up methods.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides a general procedure for thesolvent extraction of volatile and semi-volatile organic com-pounds from a water matrix. Solvent extra
12、ction is used as theinitial step in the solvent extraction of organic constituents forthe purpose of quantifying extractable organic compounds.4.2 Typical detection limits that can be achieved usingmicro-extraction techniques with gas chromatography (GC)with flame ionization detector (FID), electron
13、 capture detector(ECD), or with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS) range frommilligrams per litre (mg/L) to nanograms per litre (ng/L). Thedetection limit, linear concentration range, and sensitivity ofthe test method for a specific organic compound will dependupon the sample clean-up, injection volume, so

17、e employed.4.3 Micro-extraction has the advantage of speed, simpleextraction devices, and the use of small amounts of sample andsolvents.4.3.1 Selectivity can be improved by the choice of solvent(usually hexane or pentane) or mixed solvents, extraction timeand temperature, and ionic strength of the
18、solution.4.3.2 Extraction devices can vary from the sample containeritself to commercial devices specifically designed for micro-extraction. See 7.1 and 7.2.4.3.3 A list of chlorinated organic compounds that can bedetermined by this practice includes both high and low boilingcompounds or chemicals (
19、see Table 1).5. Interferences5.1 Solvents, reagents, glassware, and other sample process-ing hardware may yield discrete artifacts or elevated baselinesthat can cause poor precision and accuracy. See TerminologyD1129.5.1.1 Glassware should be washed with detergent, rinsedwith water, followed by a ri
20、nse with distilled in glass acetone.Final drying is done by air or 103C oven. Additional cleaningsteps may be required when the analysis requires levels ofmicrograms per litre or below. Once the glassware has beencleaned, it should be used immediately or stored wrapped inaluminum foil (shiny side ou
21、t) or by stretching a sheet ofPTFE-fluorocarbon over the top for storage.5.1.2 Plastics other than PTFE-fluorocarbon should beavoided. They are a significant source of interference and canadsorb some organics.5.1.3 A field blank prepared from water and carried throughsampling, subsequent storage, an
22、d handling can serve as acheck on sources of interferences from the containers.5.2 When performing analyses for specific organic com-pounds, matrix interferences may be caused by materials andconstituents that are coextracted from the sample. The extent ofsuch matrix interferences will vary consider
23、ably depending onthe sample and the specific instrumental analysis method used.Matrix interferences may be reduced by the choice of extract-ing solvent, or by using a clean-up technique on the extract.6. Selection of the Extraction Solvent6.1 The selection of solvent for extraction will depend uponm
24、any factors, including the following:6.1.1 Solvent compatibility with analytical instrumentation,6.1.2 Solubility of the organic constituent in the solventversus its solubility in water. The water/solvent ratio has beenfound to be critical to achieve optimum recovery of someanalytes (see Test Method
25、 D3973). Typical solvent to sampleratios are 1 to 10 or 20. The ratio should be optimized formaximum recovery or detection of an analyte, or both,6.1.3 The availability and purity of the solvent,6.1.4 The boiling point and viscosity of the solvent,6.1.5 The tendency of the solvent and matrix to form
26、emulsions, and6.1.6 Solubility of the solvent in the water.6.2 The analyst should analyze sample blank using thepotential solvent and demonstrate a recovery using a spikingprocedure in the matrix of interest before applying thisprocedure for sample analysis.7. Apparatus7.1 Volumetric Flasks, 110 mL.
27、57.2 Liquid/Liquid Extractor.67.3 Vials, auto sampler with septa and caps. Vials should becompatible with the automatic sample injector and should havean internal volume of not greater than 2 mL.7.4 Vial, crimper.7.5 Bottles, glass narrow mouth with TFE fluorocarbon-lined septum screw caps.7.6 Shake

Reagents8.1 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referenceto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Type II of Specification D1193.8.2 Chromatographic grade solvents that have been distilledin glass should be used in all tests. Other grades may be used,if it i
29、s first ascertained that the solvent is of sufficiently highpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of thedetermination.8.3 The extraction solvent of choice should be appropriatefor the matrix and compounds of interest. This choice isdependent upon the chemical properties of the orga
30、nic con-stituents of interest and the matrix being extracted.8.4 The spiking, standard materials and surrogates shouldbe reagent or ACS grade or better. When they are not availableas reagent grade, they should have an assay of 90 % or better.5Cassia, available from Baxter, 1430 Waukegan Rd., McGaw P

Preserve this second vial at 4C for an immediatereanalysis if necessary.12.7 If further extraction is required under different pHconditions (acid neutral or base),
32、 carefully remove the remain-ing solvent from the sample, adjust the pH, and add thenecessary fresh solvent volume. Repeat 12.4 and 12.5.12.8 Discard the contents of the sample bottle in an envi-ronmentally safe manner. Shake off the remaining few dropsusing short, brisk wrist movements, replace the
33、 cap, and weighthe empty bottle to the nearest 0.1 g.12.9 Analyze the extracts by the appropriate method(s) andcorrect the results for volume according to Section 13.13. Calculation13.1 Calculate the sample volume (Vs) in mL as equal to thenet sample weight in grams as follows:Vs5 grossweight 11.2!
34、2 tare weight 11.7!NOTE 6Brine samples will require a correction for density if highaccuracy is required. Samples with a high sediment content should becalculated based on weight to weight.13.2 Calculate the corrected sample concentration as fol-lows:13.2.1 When uncorrected analyte concentration is
35、known:C 5 CiX 1000Vswhere:C = concentration in g/L,Ci= uncorrected analyte concentration in g/mL, andVs= volume of the sample in mL.13.2.2 When only areas or peak heights are known:C 5 Sc3ArSr3ExVs3 1000where:C = concentration, in g/L,Sc= concentration of analyte in the standard, in g/mL,Ar= respons

Precision and Bias14.1 Precision and bias cannot be determined directly forthis practice. However,
37、this procedure was used in the deter-mination of organohalide pesticides, polychlorinated biphe-nyls, and chlorinated organics. See Test Method D5175.14.2 Precision and bias should be generated in the labora-tory on the parameters of concern.14.3 Precision may be improved by the use of an internalst
38、andard. Where internal standards are utilized, add the internalstandard to the extraction solvent container prior to aliquotingthe solvent to the extraction vessel.NOTE 7The results of one laboratory determining chlorinated organ-ics listed in Tables 1-3 are being included as information. A Cassiavo
39、lumetric flask containing 100 mLof acidified sample was extracted with1 mL of pentane solvent and analyzed using a gas chromatograph withflame ionization and electron capture detectors. The injection volume was1 L. Note that the bias information determined from the data will begreater than would be
40、expected from this practice. The standard was notprocessed through the entire practice, which would minimize the bias ofthe practice.15.
