  • Title: Establishing the feasibility of coupled solid-phase extraction-solid-phase derivatization for acidic herbicides.
    Author: Yu LZ, Wells MJ.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2007 Mar 02; 1143(1-2):16-25. PubMed ID: 17214997.
    Abstract:
    The significance of this research is that it improves analytical methodology used for organic chemicals in aqueous solutions by establishing the feasibility of heterogeneous chemical derivatization at the liquid-solid interface (i.e., solid-phase reaction or solid-phase derivatization). A solid-phase derivatization method for determining chlorinated herbicide acids was developed. Solid-phase extraction was used to concentrate and retain analytes on sorbents for subsequent solid-phase derivatization. Background interferences were removed from the chromatograms by electronically subtracting the responses of blank, nonfortified analyses from spiked samples. Two extraction sorbents (octadecyl bonded silica and polystyrene-divinylbenzene) and two derivatizing reagents (BF3-MeOH and trimethylsilyldiazomethane) were investigated. Recovery of 13 chlorinated herbicide acids--including pentachlorophenol, dinoseb, and bentazon (having a derivatizable functional group, -OH or -NH, bonded directly to a phenyl group); dicamba, picloram, acifluorfen, 3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid, and dacthal (having a derivatizable functional group, -COOH, bonded directly to a phenyl group); and 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, dichlorprop, 2,4,5-TP, and 2,4-DB (having a derivatizable functional group, -COOH, bonded directly to a sp3 carbon atom)--was tested. The analytical method developed was proven successful for determining acidic herbicides, except for the dacthal diacid metabolite, in aqueous samples.
