RESUMO

A simple and efficient method using reduced amounts of solvents for the determination of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) in aqueous matrices from a lagoon and leachate solid waste from a petrochemical industry is proposed. The target analytes were previously concentrated using the disposable pipette extraction (DPX) technique applying gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for analysis. In this innovative approach, the DPX was modified with 8-hydroxyquinoline silica gel immobilized with PdII for the pre-concentration of 4-methyldibenzothiophene, 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, 1,2-naphtobenzothiophene, 2-methylbenzothiophene and 3-methylbenzothiophene. To improve the extraction efficiency, parameters such as desorption solvent, ionic strength, extraction and desorption cycles were optimized. The values obtained for the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) are adequate for the determination of PASHs in aqueous and leachate solid waste samples. Precision and accuracy parameters showed satisfactory results, providing relative recoveries of 74.6-131.2% for PASHs from lagoon water samples and 72.7-118.0% for leachate of solid waste samples. In the lagoon samples the relative standard deviation (RSD) values for the five PASHs ranged from 0.3 to 9.2% and 3.8 to 19.4% for the leachate of the solid waste. These results demonstrate that the proposed method represents a promising alternative for the determination of PASHs in aqueous and leachate solid waste samples.
