Due to the utilisation of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFE) as extraction solvent the IR-spectrometric determination of total petrol hydrocarbon (TPH) in soil according to ISO/TR 11046 has been replaced by gas chromatography/flame ionisation detection (GC/FID) after extraction with a halogen-free solvent according to ISO/DIS 16703:2001. The results obtained with both methods by field laboratories in three proficiency testing (PT) rounds are compared. The consensus means obtained with GC/FID are typically 10%-20% (ranging between 0% and 25%) higher than those found with IR-spectroscopy. On the contrary, coefficients of variation (CV) are roughly double in case of GC/FID and are briefly discussed against the background of the Horwitz equation.
Determination of pentachlorphenol (PCP) in waste wood - method comparison by a collaborative trial
(2002)
Two independently developed and validated procedures for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in waste wood were compared by means of a collaborative trial. Both methods foresee quantification of PCP by gas chromatography (GC-ECD) after acetylation and differ with regard to the use of methanol or toluene/sulphuric acid, respectively, as solvent in the sonication extraction step. Test samples with established analyte homogeneity were prepared from a ground real life starting material. A total of 23 participating laboratories with experience in wood preservative analysis were instructed to apply both methods to three levels of content in the range of 0.520 mg PCP/kg. In case of the toluene/sulphuric acid extraction, lower recoveries and higher interlaboratory dispersion of results at the higher PCP contents were observed. Seen against the background of the Horwitz equation a reproducibility standard deviation of not, vert, similar19% for the methanol extraction at the 4.5 mg/kg level meets the requirement for a sound analytical method. Thus, the sonication extraction procedure with methanol has been annexed as a reference method to the German waste wood regulation.
The role of matrix reference materials in the process of demonstrating the degree of equivalence of measurement results obtained from intercomparisons is outlined, reviewing exemplary selected experience gained at BAM regarding the determination of organic contaminants in environmental matrices.
The specific characteristics of reference materials employed in the process of demonstrating equivalence between laboratories in the course of proficiency testing as well as the development, comparison and validation of methods are elaborated. The demand is for series of appropriately characterised samples which are fit for the purpose and it is seen from representative examples that the utilisation of such tailor-made RM designed to tackle the specific need of an analytical problem dominates over certified matrix reference materials in this context. Concluding, the role of certified matrix reference materials in quality assurance is briefly looked at both from the users and providers points of view.
Zinc dialkyl dithiocarbamoylsulfinates have been proposed as intermediates in the antioxidant action of the respective zinc dialkyl dithiocarbamate additives in hydrocarbon-based plastics and lubricants. As a model compound, zinc diisobutyl dithiocarbamoylsulfinate, [Zn(C9H18NO2S2)2], has been prepared and its crystal structure determined.
Bis(N,N-di-n-butyldithiocarbamato-?2S,S')(1,10-phenanthroline-?2N,N')zinc(II) ethanol hemisolvate, [Zn(C9H18NS2)2(C12H8N2)]·0.5C2H6O, (I), and bis(N,N-di-n-hexyldithiocarbamato-?2S,S')bis(1,10-phenanthroline-?2N,N')calcium(II), [Ca(C13H26NS2)2(C12H8N2)2], (II), are mixed-ligand complexes. In the first compound, the Zn atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, while in the second compound, the Ca atom is eight-coordinate, with four S and four N atoms forming a highly distorted cube.
