Rapid Screening Method for Determination of PCDDs and PCDFs in Fly Ashes Using GC-Ion Trap MS/MS Based on Cellular Disruptor Extraction

摘要

Identification and quantification of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlori-nated dibenzofurans in fly ashes from incinerator was carried out using capillary gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) with a low resolution ion trap mass spectrometer. Sample extraction was carried out in a cellular disruptor, in Soxhlet and in a conventional ultrasound for comparative purposes. Extraction with cellular disruptor was shown to be comparable to that obtained by the reference Soxhlet extraction, while low recoveries were observed with ultrasound. Hospital incinerator ashes, extracted by cellular disruptor and Soxhlet presented I-TEQ values for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans of 370 ± 81 ng g~(-1) and 533 ± 55 ng g~(-1), respectively, statistically equivalent according to the t-test.
