The use of pervaporation as an alternative to headspace is proposed. The analytical system involves the speciation of organomercury compounds in solid samples using pervaporation, which has been coupled for the first time to gas chromatography. The speciation of mercury as Me(2)Hg, Et(2)Hg, and MeHgCl has been carried out without any derivatization of the analytes, which, after separation from the solid matrix, are preconcentrated on a Tenax minicolumn prior to desorption and chromatographic separation on a semicapillary column (HP-1) prior to atomic fluorescence detection. No column degradation was observed. Linear ranges and detection limits slightly better than those obtained by headspace GC were observed for mercury species in solid samples. Excellent recoveries (between 95 and 107%) for mercury species added to complex solid samples were obtained by this extremely simple and easily automated setup. |
