Abstract

In this study, the mixture of nano activated carbon (NAC) and ionic liquid (3-triphenylphosphonio-propane-1-sulfonate; C21H21O3PS) was coated on fused silica fiber of SPME holder (NAC-IL-FSF/SPME). Then NAC/IL was used for determining of benzene in soil and vegetables samples (1.0 g, n=50) surrounding a chemical industry zone. After benzene adsorption on NAC-IL based on head space solid phase micoextraction (HS-SPME), the concentration of benzene was simply determined by introducing probe to injector of gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection (GC-FID). All effected parameters such as the sorbent mass, the amount of sample, the temperature, and the interaction time were optimized in glass chromatography vials by static procedures. The benzene vapor was absorbed from soil and vegetables samples with NAC-IL-FSF/SPME holder for 10 min at 80oC (10 mg of NAC and 0.1 g of ionic liquid in 0.5 mL of acetone coated on FSF). Then the benzene was desorbed and determined by GC-FID spectrometry. The extraction efficiency and absorption capacity of adsorbent were obtained 98.5% and 127.2 mg g-1, respectively. The high surface area of NAC and favorite interaction of aromatic chain in IL (π-π), caused to efficiently remove of benzene vapor by HS-SPME procedure as compared to other nanostructures.
