A new analytical method has been developed to determine dicyandiamide in environmental water. Residues of dicyandiamide were extracted from the environmental water samples by solid phase extraction using Waters Sep-Pak AC2 Cartridge. The extraction procedure condition (included loading, washing, and eluting) of flow rate of 1.0 mL=min, and dicyandiamide was eluted with 20 mL of acetonitrile and methanol (v=v ¼ 60:40) mixture solution, and preconcentrated using nitrogen evaporation followed by analysis with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Laboratory method validation data was collected in water samples at concentration down to 1.0 ng=mL. Average recovery and relative standard deviation using spiked calibration standard curve were 89% and 2.9%, respectively. The method provides a effective approach to monitor the contaminant in environmental water samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
