“…The EPA Method 8015 is to be used to determine TPH, BS ISO 15009:2002 is for volatile aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, and BS ISO 16703:2004 is for the determination of content of hydrocarbons in the range C 10 to C 40 (n-alkanes), from solids including soils and wastes (50)(51)(52)(53). GC/FID is used for both quantitative and qualitative applications including the screening of environmental samples (54)(55)(56), unravelling the type and identity of fresh to mildly weathered oil in environmental samples for pattern recognition of the petroleum hydrocarbons (18,19), and characterising and resolving the profile of unresolved complex mixtures (UCM) in petroleum-contaminated sediments (57). The biodegradation rate constant of petroleum-hydrocarbons in a contaminated site is highly variable and difficult to evaluate due to variable site conditions.…”

In the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), the role spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques play are inseparable. Therefore, spectroscopic techniques cannot be discussed in isolation. In this report, spectroscopic techniques including Raman, fluorescence, infrared, visible-near-infrared spectroscopies, as well as mass spectroscopy (coupled to a gas chromatograph), and non-spectroscopic techniques such as gravimetric, immunoassay and gas chromatography with flame ionization detection are reviewed. To bridge the perceived gap in coverage of the quantitative applications of the vis-NIR spectroscopy in the rapid determination of TPHs and PAHs in soils, a detailed review of studies from the period 1999-2012 are presented. This report also highlights the strength and limitations of these techniques and evaluates their performance from the perspectives of their attributes of general applicability, namely: economic, portability, operational time, accuracy, and occupational health and safety considerations. Overall, the fluorescence spectroscopic technique had the best performance (85% total score) in comparison to others, while the gravimetric technique performed the least (60% total score). Method-specific solutions geared towards performance improvement have also been suggested.

Recebido em 8/2/08; aceito em 2/9/08; publicado na web em 15/4/09 MATRIX EFFECT IN PESTICIDE QUANTIFICATION BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY. The lack of accuracy of a chromatographic method can be associated with the matrix effect. This effect is observed in pesticide quantification by gas chromatography when the chromatographic signals of standards prepared in solvents are compared with those of the analyte in extracts of complex matrices. In the competition between the matrix components and the pesticides for the active sites of the liner, a larger amount of pesticides is transferred to the column, giving apparent extractions above 100%. In this work, we discuss factors that contribute to the matrix effect and present some attempts to overcome the problem.

“…The amount of TPH was determined as the sum of the resolved and unresolved components eluted from the GC capillary column between the retention times of ndecane and n-tetracontane (CEN 2004;Saari et al 2007a). It should be noted that the term TPH refers to all components eluting from the gas chromatograph between the boiling range of n-alkane standards (n-decane and n-tetracontane) without the identity of the sample component, which includes a wide variety of mixtures containing hundreds to thousands of hydrocarbon compounds (Korda et al 1997;Saari et al 2007b). The desorption efficiency of TPH was then calculated according to the following equation:…”

The effect of microemulsion on the biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in nitrate-induced bioremediation of marine sediment was investigated in this study. It was shown that the microemulsion formed with non-ionic surfactant polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80), 1-pentanol, linseed oil, and either deionized water or seawater was stable when subjected to dilution by seawater. Desorption tests revealed that microemulsion was more effective than the Tween 80 solution or the solution containing Tween 80 and 1-pentanol to desorb TPH from marine sediment. In 3 weeks of bioremediation treatment, the injection of microemulsion and NO3 (-) seems to have delayed the autotrophic denitrification between NO3 (-) and acid volatile sulfide (AVS) in sediment compared to the control with NO3 (-) injection alone. However, after 6 weeks of treatment, the delaying effect of microemulsion on the autotrophic denitrification process was no longer observed. In the meantime, the four injections of microemulsion and NO3 (-) resulted in as high as 29.73 % of TPH degradation efficiency, higher than that of two injections of microemulsion and NO3 (-) or that of four or two injections of NO3 (-) alone. These results suggest that microemulsion can be potentially applied to enhance TPH degradation in the nitrate-induced bioremediation of marine sediment.
