Supercritical fluid extraction-liquid

As discussed in section 5.6.1.4 a solid phase carbon trap has been used in conjunction with supercritical fluid extraction liquid chromatography for the simultaneous determination of organochlorine insecticides, polychlorobiphenyls, polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorodibenzofurans in soils [19].

Analytical Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Chromatography Supercritical fluids, especially CO9, are used widely to extrac t a wide variety of solid and hquid matrices to obtain samples for analysis. Benefits compared with conventional Soxhlet extraction include minimization of solvent waste, faster extraction, tunabihty of solvent strength, and simple solvent removal with minimal solvent contamination in the sample. Compared with high-performance liquid chromatography, the number of theoretical stages is higher in... 

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) are excellent alternatives to traditional extraction methods, with both being used independently for clean-up and/or analyte concentration prior to chromatographic analysis. While SFE has been demonstrated to be an excellent method for extracting organic compounds from solid matrices such as soil and food (36, 37), SPE has been mainly used for diluted liquid samples such as water, biological fluids and samples obtained after-liquid-liquid extraction on solid matrices (38, 39). The coupling of these two techniques (SPE-SFE) turns out to be an interesting method for the quantitative transfer... 

Unfortunately, not much experimental work has been carried out on the combination of Supercritical fluid extraction and liquid chromatography systems (43, 44). One of the reasons for this arises from the difficulties in achieving compatibility between the extraction solvent and the FC mobile phase. Baseline perturbations have been...

One example of normal-phase liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography is the determination of alkylated, oxygenated and nitrated polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in urban air particulate extracts (97). Since such extracts are very complex, LC-GC is the best possible separation technique. A quartz microfibre filter retains the particulate material and supercritical fluid extraction (SPE) with CO2 and a toluene modifier extracts the organic components from the dust particles. The final extract is then dissolved in -hexane and analysed by NPLC. The transfer at 100 p.1 min of different fractions to the GC system by an on-column interface enabled many PACs to be detected by an ion-trap detector. A flame ionization detector (PID) and a 350 p.1 loop interface was used to quantify the identified compounds. The experimental conditions employed are shown in Table 13.2. 

Ionic liquids have been described as designer solvents [11]. Properties such as solubility, density, refractive index, and viscosity can be adjusted to suit requirements simply by making changes to the structure of either the anion, or the cation, or both [12, 13]. This degree of control can be of substantial benefit when carrying out solvent extractions or product separations, as the relative solubilities of the ionic and extraction phases can be adjusted to assist with the separation [14]. Also, separation of the products can be achieved by other means such as, distillation (usually under vacuum), steam distillation, and supercritical fluid extraction (CO2).

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been by far the most important method for separating chlorophylls. Open column chromatography and thin layer chromatography are still used for clean-up procedures to isolate and separate carotenoids and other lipids from chlorophylls and for preparative applications, but both are losing importance for analytical purposes due to their low resolution and have been replaced by more effective techniques like solid phase, supercritical fluid extraction and counter current chromatography. The whole analysis should be as brief as possible, since each additional step is a potential source of epimers and allomers. 

The most widely employed techniques for the extraction of water samples for triazine compounds include liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and liquid-solid extraction (LSE). Although most reports involving SPE are off-line procedures, there is increasing interest and subsequently increasing numbers of reports regarding on-line SPE, the goal of which is to improve overall productivity and safety. To a lesser extent, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), supercritical fluid extraction (SEE), semi-permeable membrane device (SPMD), and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) techniques have been reported. 

To date most of the work which has been done with supercritical fluid extraction has concentrated on the extraction of analytes from solid matrices or liquids supported on an inert solid carrier matrix. The extraction of aqueous matrices presents particular problems [276-278]. The co-extraction of water causes problems with restrictor plugging, column deterioration, and phase separation if a nonpolar solvent is used for sample collection. Also, carbon dioxide isay have limited extraction efficiency for many water soluble compounds. 

In liquid-solid extraction (LSE) the analyte is extracted from the solid by a liquid, which is separated by filtration. Numerous extraction processes, representing various types and levels of energy, have been described steam distillation, simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction (SDE), passive hot solvent extraction, forced-flow leaching, (automated) Soxh-let extraction, shake-flask method, mechanically agitated reflux extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, y -ray-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), microwave-enhanced extraction (Soxwave ), microwave-assisted process (MAP ), gas-phase MAE, enhanced fluidity extraction, hot (subcritical) water extraction, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), supercritical assisted liquid extraction, pressurised hot water extraction, enhanced solvent extraction (ESE ), solu-tion/precipitation, etc. The most successful systems are described in Sections 3.3.3-3.4.6.

SFE has been used extensively in the analysis of solid polymers. Supercritical fluid extraction of liquid samples is undertaken less widely because dissolution or entrainment of the matrix can occur. As illustrated elsewhere SFE has also been applied for the analysis of liquid poly(alkylene glycol) (PAG) lubricants and sorbitan ester formulations [370]. The analysis of PAG additives (antioxidants, biocides and anticorrosion, antiwear and antifoaming agents) is hindered by the presence of the low molecular weight PAG matrix (liquid) and therefore a method for the selective separation of additives from PAG is required. The PAG... 

There are basically three methods of liquid sampling in GC direct sampling, solid-phase extraction and liquid extraction. The traditional method of treating liquid samples prior to GC injection is liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), but several alternative methods, which reduce or eliminate the use of solvents, are preferred nowadays, such as static and dynamic headspace (DHS) for volatile compounds and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) for semivolatiles. The method chosen depends on concentration and nature of the substances of interest that are present in the liquid. Direct sampling is used when the substances to be assayed are major components of the liquid. The other two extraction procedures are used when the pertinent solutes are present in very low concentration. Modem automated on-line SPE-GC-MS is configured either for at-column conditions or rapid large-volume injection (RLVI).

More elaborate sample preparation is often needed for complex sample matrices, e.g., lotions and creams. Many newer SP technologies such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized fluid extraction, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), and robotics are frequently utilized (see Ref. [2]). Dosage forms such as suppositories, lotions, or creams containing a preponderance of hydrophobic matrices might require more elaborate SP and sample cleanup, such as SPE or liquid-liquid extraction. 

Reindt and Hoffler [50] optimized parameters in the supercritical fluid extraction of polyaromatic hydrocarbons from soil. These workers used carbon dioxide -8% methanol for extraction and obtained 88-101% recovery of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in the final high-performance liquid chromatography.
