PAH from Soil

Method:
Matrix
Application-No.:
SPE
soil
301310

Substances: naphthalene; acenaphthylene; acenaphthene; fluorene; phenanthrene; anthracene; fluoranthene; pyrene; benzanthracene; chrysene; benzofluoranthene; benzopyrene; dibenzanthracene; benzoperylene; indenopyrene
Column: CHROMABOND® CN / SiOH, 6 ml, 500/1000 mg
Phase: Chromabond CN/SiOH
MN catalog number: 730135
Sample pretreatment: Dry 30 g soil with sodium sulphate and reflux 4 hours with 250 ml petroleum
ether in a Soxhlet extractor. For low PAH contents (colorless or weakly colored
extracts) concentrate extract to 1/10 of its volume in a rotation evaporator.
Conditions: Column conditioning:
4 ml petroleum ether

Sample application:
Force or aspirate 20 ml of the extract through the column

Column washing:
2 ml petroleum ether

Elution:
2 x 2 ml acetonitrile / benzene (3:1, v/v), then evaporate or fill up to the
volume required (alternative 2 x 2 ml acetonitrile / toluene (3:1, v/v))

For further analysis we recommend HPLC e.g. with column 250/3 NUCLEOSIL® 5
