Removal characteristics of Cu(II) ions by solid-phase extractant immobilized D2EHPA and TBP in PVC were investigated. Cu(II) ion concentrations in the solution and removal capacity of Cu(II) ion according to operation time were compared. The lower the initial concentration of Cu(II) ion in aqueous solution was, the removal capacity of Cu(II) ion by solid-phase extractant was increased relatively. The bigger the initial concentration of Cu(II) ion was, the removal capacity of Cu(II) ion was increased relatively. The pseudo-second-order kinetics according to operation time was showed more satisfying results than the pseudo-first-order kinetics for the removal velocity of Cu(II) ion. The removal capacity of Cu(II) ion was 0.025 mg/g in aqueous solution of pH 2, but the removal capacity of Cu(II) ion was increased to 0.33 mg/g mg/g in aqueous solution of pH 4 according to increasing pH.

The solid-phase extractant PS-D2EHPA/TBP was prepared by immobilizing two extractants D2EHPA and TBP in polysulfone (PS). The prepared PS-D2EHPA/TBP was characterized by using fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution was investigated in batch system. The experiment data were obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Equilibrium data were well fitted by Langmuir model and the removal capacity of Cu(II) by solid extractant PS-D2EHPA/TBP obtained from Langmuir model was 3.11 mg/g at 288 K. The removal capacity of Cu(II) was increased according to increasing pH from 2 to 6, but the removal capacity was decreased below pH 3 remarkably.

Abstract PS-D2EHPA beads were prepared by immobilizing di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with polysulfone (PSf). The removal experiments of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by the prepared PS-D2EHPA beads were conducted batchwise. The removal efficiency of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads was increased with increasing pH of solution. The removal rate of Cu(II) and Pb(II) was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum removal capacity of Cu(II) and Pb(II) obtained from Langmuir isotherm were 2.58 mg/g and 12.63 mg/g, respectively. External mass transfer coefficients for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads were obtained 0.61×10-2∼ 5.87×10-2 /min and 1.55×10-2∼8.53×10-2 /min, respectively and diffusion coefficients were obtained 1.32×10-4∼ 3.98×10-4 cm2/min and 1.80×10-4∼2.28×10-4 cm2/min, respectively.

A rapid and simple method for the quantitative determination of volatile fatty acids (VFAs; propionic acid, n-butyric acid, i-valeric acid and n-valeric acid) and indoles (phenol, p-cresol, 4-ethyl phenol, indole and skatole) in pig slurry and dog excrement using solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography was evaluated. 50/30 ㎛ DVB/CAR/PDMS (Divinylbenzene/Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane) fiber was used to extract the target compounds in aqueous media. Sample amount and adsorption time was standardized for the routine analysis. Detection limits were from 0.11 to 0.15 ㎍/L for VFAs and from 0.12 to 0.28 ㎍/L for indoles and the correlations observed (R2) were 0.975～1.000. This method was applied to the pig slurry, fertilizer, compost and dog excrement. In nearly all cases, the indoles were detected in concentrations of higher than their limits of detection (DOLs). But the VFAs in swine manure were below their DOLs.

The solid phase extractant (PVC-D2EHPA bead) was prepared by immobilizing di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The prepared PVC-D2EHPA beads were characterized by using fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The removal experiments of Cu(II) by PVC-D2EHPA beads conducted batchwise. The removal kinetics of Cu(II) was found to follow the pseudo-second-order model. The equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum removal capacity was 2.6 mg/g at 20℃. The optimum pH region was in the range of 3.5 to 6. and the standard free energy (△Go) was between –4.67 ∼–4.98 kJ/mol, indicating the spontaneous nature of Cu(II) removal by PVC-D2EHPA beads.

The study was carried out to evaluate the new analytical method of phthalate esters(diethylphthalate, di-n -butylphthalate, butylbenzylphthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate), one of the endocrine disruptors, which were performed by GC/MS-SIM(selected ion monitoring). The phthalate esters were extracted from water samples using solid-phase extraction on C18 columns. It investigated that the extraction recovery rate of phthalate esters with different solvents and solvent volume. The optimal solvent was dichloromethane and proper volume of dichloromethane for recovery of phthalate esters was 4 mL. There were good linearities(above R2=0.9975) in the range 0.01～0.50㎎/L, and the detection limits were below 0.01～0.03㎍/L. The recovery rates, RSD and MDLs for phthalate esters were 80～114%, 5.0～8.1% and 0.03～0.11㎍/L, respectively. This method shows a good precision of phthalate esters.

본 연구는 향기성분을 많이 포함하고 있는 꿀풀과의 대표적인 5종류를 선정하여 이들을 대상으로 소량의 시료만으로도 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 고상 미량 추출법(Solid Phase Microextraction: SPME)과 동시증류추출법(Simultaneous Distillation and Extraction : SDE)으로 향기성분을 분석하였다. 분석결과 5종류의 꿀풀과 약초의 향기성분 구성은 linanol, limonene, citral, trans-geraniol 등의 monoterpene alcohol, monoterpene aldehyde 및 ketone 과 trans-caryophyllene, δ-cadinene 등의 sesquiterpene 성분들이 주로 검출되었다. 분석결과 기존의 향기성분 연구에 많이 사용되는 동시증류추출법(SDE)과 주성분에서 대부분 유사하였으나 형개의 향기성분처럼 SPME법에서 많은 성분이 검출되지 않는 경우도 있었고 배초향, 박하의 성분처럼 SDE법에서 검출되지 않은 일부 성분도 SPME법에서 검출되기도 하였다. 이러한 결과는 SPME법은 낮은 온도에서 흡착만으로 성분의 포집이 이루어지므로 추출, 농축 등의 조작에 의한 SDE법보다 이차적인 변질이 적었기 때문으로 생각되었다. 따라서 SPME법은 열변성이 적고 소량으로 다수의 시료를 분석할 수 있어 향신약초의 품종육종 등에 사용할 수 있는 간편하고 신속한 방법이 될 것으로 생각된다.

SPME device was applied to determine the THM in an aqueous solution. The 6 kinds of THM was quantitatively detemined by using GC-ECD which has the sample extracted on the SPME fiber from an aqueous solution for 10 min. The THM components were well separated from CHCl_3 to the last CHBr_3 within 13 mans at the condition. 6 kinds of the volatile halogenated organic compounds: CHCl_3, CHBrCl_2, CHBr_2Cl, CHCl_3, C_2Cl_4, and CHBr_3, showed well defined calibration graph with good linearity from a few ppb level up to several tens of ppb concentration. CHBr_2Cl and C_2Cl_4, were detected from a few samples among the 10 of river samples. CHCl_3, however, was detected in 4 sea water samples with the highest of 10 ppb among the polluted 6 positions. Trace level of CHBr_2Cl and few ppb level of CHBr_3 were also detected at the other two sample stations. Most of the 13 rain water samples collected from 6 sampling stations were contained ppb level of CHCl_3, and also CHBr_2Cl, and C_2Cl_4 were only detected at trace level at a few rain samples among them. We could recognize the fact that our air and water environment has already been contaminated by certain volatile halogenated organic compounds through this study.
