Objective
To develop analytical methods for identifying and measuring specific organic chemicals within different groups or classes of pollutants in industrial effluents or waste waters, with detection levels below the fg/l and taking into account the ecotoxicity of the compounds.
The methods to be developed will include a selective extraction and a chromatographic analysis, closely
connected one to the other, and on-line if possible. They will be "environmentally friendly" and avoid the use
of organic solvent as much as possible.
The development of these analytical procedures should lead to the commercialisation of selective tools, -new
specific solid-phase extraction sorbents and new supported liquid membranes- that will be tailored for the
extraction and concentration of a whole group of related analytes from waste waters and industrial effluents and
that will also allow the individual subsequent identification and quantification of each compound within the
group.
The compounds are selected on the basis of their toxicity, accumulation properties and ecotoxicity: PAHs,
phenolics, aniline derivatives, nitroaromatics, detergents and dyestuffs. Toxic metabolites or transformation
products will be also taken into account. Emphasis will be put on the separation of individual components
within each group using the more appropriate chromatographic method and detection modes. The on-line
coupling of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric techniques will be included for confirmation of
results.
Two complementary and new emerging methods will be performed for the selective extraction and concentration
procedures of various groups of pollutants, depending on the characteristic of the analytes.
The first one will involve the development of selective solid-phase extraction sorbents based on immunoaffinity
chromatography and the second one the development of supported liquid membranes techniques (SML).
