Gas Extraction

Volatile compounds can be isolated from a solid or liquid food sample by purging the sample with an inert gas (e.g., N2, CO2, He) and adsorbing the volatiles on a porous, granulated polymer (Tenax GC, Porapak Q, Chromosorb 105), followed by recovery of the compounds. Water is retarded to only a negligible extent by these polymers (Table 5.9). The desorption of volatiles is usually achieved stepwise in a temperature gradient. At low temperatures, the traces of water are removed by elution, while at elevated temperatures, the volatiles are released and flushed out by a carrier gas into a cold trap, usually connected to a gas chromatograph.

Anions of another group were derivatized with formation of gaseous chemiluminescing species. Chemical reaction - gas extraction has been used with chemiluminescence detection in the stream of canier gas in on-line mode. Rate of a number of reactions has been studied as well as kinetic curves of extraction of gaseous products. Highly sensitive and rapid hybrid procedures have been developed for the determination of lO, BrO, CIO, CIO, NO,, N03, CrO, CIO, Br, T, S, 803 with detection limits at the level of pg/L, duration of analysis 3 min. 

An active perimeter gas control system can have any of the same configurations as a passive perimeter system with the addition of any combination of gas extraction wells, gas collection headers, vacuum blowers or compressors. Their ultimate purpose is to direct the gas to a treatment or utilization system.

MHE can be used for substances of high volatility with a small partition coefficient. Method is based on a stepwise gas extraction at equal time intervals. Normal headspace chromatogram is run, a fraction of the gas phase exhausted, and a second headspace chromatogram is run. -The difference in petUc areas provides a measure of the total peak area of the analyte. 

Various models of SFE have been published, which aim at understanding the kinetics of the processes. For many dynamic extractions of compounds from solid matrices, e.g. for additives in polymers, the analytes are present in small amounts in the matrix and during extraction their concentration in the SCF is well below the solubility limit. The rate of extraction is then not determined principally by solubility, but by the rate of mass transfer out of the matrix. Supercritical gas extraction usually falls very clearly into the class of purely diffusional operations. Gere et al. [285] have reported the physico-chemical principles that are the foundation of theory and practice of SCF analytical techniques. The authors stress in particular the use of intrinsic solubility parameters (such as the Hildebrand solubility parameter 5), in relation to the solubility of analytes in SCFs and optimisation of SFE conditions. 

Figure 16.8 shows an active perimeter gas extraction system. Active systems can be used at virtually any site where there is the capability to drill and excavate through the materials in the action area to the required depth. Limiting factors of active systems include the presence of freestanding leachate (i.e., saturation) or impenetrable materials. Active perimeter gas control systems are not sensitive to freezing or saturation of the surface or cover soils.

Presently there are no EPA pretreatment standards for the oil and gas extraction (oilfield) point source category. The EPA pretreatment standards for discharge from existing and new petroleum refining facilities to publicly owned treatment works include 100 mg/L each for oil and grease (O G) and ammonia (as N). For new facilities a total chromium concentration of 1 mg/L for the cooling tower discharge part of the refinery effluent is also required (40 CPR Part 419).

Supercritical gas extraction depends on the fact that the vapour pressure of a solid or liquid can be greatly Increased by contacting It with a compressed gas, and that this enhancement Is the more pronounced the greater the gas density ). In principle, It Is consequently possible to transfer Into the vapour phase substances that are otherwise substantially non-volatlle.
