1.2 Solid-Phase Microextraction
SPME has been the sorbent-based microextraction technique most used for the analysis of PAEs in water samples (see Table 1.1) probably, among other reasons, because it allows to reduce the risk of PAEs contamination during sample extraction with respect to other conventional extraction techniques. On the one hand, the absence of organic solvents and additional steps reduces PAEs background levels. On the other, water is in many occasions a simple and clean matrix that contains few interferences, so the direct immersion (DI) mode can be used without hardly any impairment of its lifetime (except for waste waters or marine water). Moreover, in SPME, extraction, pre-concentration and direct desorption into analytical instruments can be easily integrated in most cases.
The first studies in which SPME was applied for PAEs extraction from water samples dealt with the direct application of commercial fiber coatings, including polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyacrylate (PA), PDMS-divinylbenzene (DVB), carboxen (CAR)-PDMS, and carbowax (CW)-DVB. As examples, Cao [21] demonstrated the better performance of PDMS-DVB fibers compared to PDMS and DVB-CAR-PDMS fibers for the headspace (HS) SPME extraction of nine PAEs (DMP, DEP, DIBP, DBP, BBP, DHXP, DEHA, DEHP, and DNOP) from bottled water samples, while Polo et al. [28] found that PDMS-DVB fibers also give higher extraction efficiency than PDMS, PA, CAR-PDMS, and CW-DVB fibers for DBP, BBP, and DNOP, but CAR-PDMS and PA fibers show a better extraction performance for DMP and DEP, and for DEHP, although the first one provided better results for simultaneous analysis of the target PAEs from bottled, industrial harbor, river, urban collector, and influent and effluent waste water samples. As expected, the optimal SPME fiber for the extraction of a particular phthalate depends on both the properties of the coating and the PAEs since these compounds differ from each other in terms of polarity and volatility and, therefore, on their distribution between the fiber coating and the matrix. In addition, low-molecular PAEs are more volatile than those of high-molecular weight [38]. As a result, low-molecular PAEs would be expected to be more efficiently extracted when HS mode is used [38]. However, they have a certain solubility in water and, as consequence, they volatilize very slowly from this kind of matrices. Contrary, although high-molecular PAEs are less volatile, they have a lower water solubility and they volatilize faster at higher temperatures than it could be expected [38]. Accordingly, it has been observed that DEHP and DNOP are extracted from different water samples more efficiently than BBP, DEP, and DMP using HS-SPME [28, 39]. Nevertheless, most of the works published on this topic are based on DI-SPME instead of HS-SPME.
