A Study on the Development of Analytical Methods and Behaviors of Environmental Pollutants(III) : On-Line System for Preconcentration and Separation of Trace Phenols by HPLC

환경 오염물질의 정량법 개발과 거동에 관한 연구(III) : 미량 페놀류의 HPLC 정량을 위한 온 라인 농축

The purpose on this study was to develop a new improved chromatographic method for determination of trace phenols from environmental waste water. The research was carried out with selected 8 phenols, and solid-phase extraction was employed as sample pretreatment method. The coupling of XAD-4 and Dowex $1{\times}8$ resin as preconcentration column increased the selectivities toward interferences coexisted in matrix. Automation was accomplished with on-line process of pretreatment and HPLC system. After elution of sample through XAD-4 column, phenols were adsorbed by dispersion force, then displaced from it by ACN basified, simultaneously and selectively readsorbed via anion exchange on Dowex $1{\times}8$. Dowex $1{\times}8$ column was washed by water. Phenols readsorbed were removed from Dowex $1{\times}8$ column by a minimum volumn of methanol containing HCl. Each pretreatment step was connected by switching valves and the eluate was directly on-line injected to obtain fast and reliable results into the HPLC. Recovery of phenols was greater than 90%. To examine utility of this method, analysis of phenols from laboratory waste water sample which was added some organic pollutants to find with phenols on environmental waste water were also accomplished without their interference effects.

환경오염수에 미량 존재하는 페놀류를 정량하기 위한 분석법의 개발을 위하여 8가지 페놀류를 대상 시료로, 고체상 추출법을 이용한 전처리 방법을 연구하였다. XAD-4와 Dowex $1{\times}8$ 수지를 연결하여 HPLC로 분석하는 온 라인 시스템을 만들어 농축과 분리의 선택성을 높이며 자동화에 중점을 두었다. 시료를 XAD-4 컬럼에 용리시켜 페놀류를 분자흡착으로 농축시킨 후 염기성 아세토니트릴을 용리시켜 탈착시키고 계속해서 Dowex $1{\times}8$ 컬럼에 음이온교환으로 페놀류만을 선택적으로 재흡착시킨다. Dowex $1{\times}8$ 컬럼에 재흡착된 페놀류를 물로 세척한 후 HCl을 포함하는 메탄올 용액으로 재탈착시킨다. 전처리 단계는 switching 밸브에 의해 온 라인으로 연결하였고 탈착된 페놀류를 HPLC에 직접 주입하여 신속하고 신뢰성 있는 정량이 가능하였다. 각 페놀류는 90% 이상의 회수율을 나타내었다. 본 분석법의 활용성을 평가하기 위해 환경오염수에서 페놀류와 공존 가능한 유기 화합물들을 첨가시켜 조제한 실험실적 오염수를 만들어 방해 효과를 조사한 결과, 페놀류만을 선택적으로 농축-분석할 수 있었다.
