Carbamate compounds extraction solvents

The common impurities found in amines are nitro compounds (if prepared by reduction), the corresponding halides (if prepared from them) and the corresponding carbamate salts. Amines are dissolved in aqueous acid, the pH of the solution being at least three units below the pKg value of the base to ensure almost complete formation of the cation. They are extracted with diethyl ether to remove neutral impurities and to decompose the carbamate salts. The solution is then made strongly alkaline and the amines that separate are extracted into a suitable solvent (ether or toluene) or steam distilled. The latter process removes coloured impurities. Note that chloroform cannot be used as a solvent for primary amines because, in the presence of alkali, poisonous carbylamines (isocyanides) are formed. However, chloroform is a useful solvent for the extraction of heterocyclic bases. In this case it has the added advantage that while the extract is being freed from the chloroform most of the moisture is removed with the solvent. [Pg.63]

There are a large number of literature references that refer the use of SPE cartridges for the extraction of pesticides from water. There are several comprehensive reviews of the use of SPE, including that by Soriano et al. who discussed the advantages and limitations of a number of sorbents for the analysis of carbamates. Hennion reviewed the properties and uses of carbon based materials for extraction of a wide multiclass range of pesticides. Thorstensen et al. described the use of a high-capacity cross-linked polystyrene-based polymer for the SPE of phenoxy acids and bentazone, and Tanabe et al reported the use of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer for the determination of 90 pesticides and related compounds in river water. SPE cartridges are also widely used for the cleanup of solvent extracts, as described below. [Pg.734]

Table 6.4 shows first-order rate coefficients and tx/2 values for degradation of a number of pesticides in soils (Rao and Davidson, 1982). The k and t1/2 values calculated from field data are based on the disappearance of the parent compound (solvent extractable). Table 6.4 also includes k and t1/2 values calculated on mineralization (14C02 evolution) and parent-compound disappearance from laboratory studies. The t1/2 values were smaller for field than for laboratory studies. Rao and Davidson (1980) attribute this to the multitude of factors that can affect pesticide disappearance in the field while only one factor is studied in the laboratory. Rao and Davidson (1982) suggested that pesticides be classified into three groups based on values (Table 6.5) nonpersistent (t1/2 < 20 days), moderately persistent (20 < t1/2 < 100 days), and persistent (/1/2 > 100 days). Most chlorinated hydrocarbons are grouped as persistent, while carboxyl-kanoic acid herbicides are nonpersistent. The s-triazines, substituted ureas, and carbamate pesticides are moderately persistent. [Pg.140]
