Resumo (PT): In this work a fast, automatic solid-phase extraction procedure hyphenated to HPLC-UV is proposed for screening of priority phenolic pollutants in waters at ng mL−1 levels. A flow through column, containing polystyrene-divinylbenzene sorbent, was incorporated to a multisyringe flow injection system (MSFIA), where the sample loading and analyte elution were carried out after computer control. The MSFIA system also directed the eluent to fill the injection loop of the chromatograph, coupling the sample preparation to its determination. High enrichment factors were attained for phenol and ten of its derivatives (mean value 176 for 50 mL of sample), with LOD values lower than 1 ng mL−1 for the maximum volume of sample used (100 mL). For all analytes, mean recoveries between 89 and 103% were obtained for different water matrices. Certified reference material and a contaminated soil (RTC-CRM 112) were also tested successfully. The determination frequency was 4–10 h−1, providing an automatic, fast and reliable tool for water quality and environmental monitoring. <br> <br> Keywords: Phenolic pollutants; Automatic solid-phase extraction; Water analysis; On-line preconcentration; Multisyringe flow injection analysis <br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6THP-4TJTX45-3&_user=2460038&_coverDate=02%2F15%2F2009&_rdoc=35&_fmt=high&_orig=browse&_srch=doc-info(%23toc%235288%232009%23999229995%23757175%23FLA%23display%23Volume)&_cdi=5288&_sort=d&_docanchor=&_ct=49&_acct=C000057398&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=2460038&md5=1839891975b3b3418ab4be2b7f609c17"> Texto integral</a> <br> <br>

Abstract (EN): In this work a fast, automatic solid-phase extraction procedure hyphenated to HPLC-UV is proposed for screening of priority phenolic pollutants in waters at ngmL(-1) levels. A flow through column, containing polystyrene-divinylbenzene sorbent, was incorporated to a multisyringe flow injection system (MSFIA), where the sample loading and analyte elution were carried out after computer control. The MSFIA system also directed the eluent to fill the injection loop of the chromatograph, coupling the sample preparation to its determination. High enrichment factors were attained for phenol and ten of its derivatives (mean value 176 for 50 mL of sample), with LOD values lower than 1 ng mL(-1) for the maximurn volume of sample used (100 mL). For all analytes, mean recoveries between 89 and 103% were obtained for different water matrices. Certified reference material and a contaminated soil (RTC-CRM 112) were also tested successfully. The determination frequency was 4-10 h(-1), providing an automatic, fast and reliable tool for water quality and environmental monitoring.
