摘要

Abstract

Three extraction techniques have been recently used for the quantitative extraction of semi-volatile organic pollutants in sediments

i.e. accelerated solvent extraction (ASE)

microwave assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE). However

their extraction efficiencies have rarely been quantitatively compared using rigorous mathematical methods. In this paper

one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to evaluate the performance of ASE

MAE and UAE in the overall extraction of PCBs

DDTs and HCHs by analysis of their recoveries from the Standard Reference Material IAEA-417

a sediment sample certified by many international laboratories. Conclusions were drawn at a significance level of P ≤ 0.05. No significant differences were found among the mean values for method recoveries using ASE

MAE and UAE. The mean values for real recoveries using ASE and MAE were nearly identical

but the real recovery using UAE was much lower. The concentrations of all PCBs

DDTs and HCHs except for CB52 and o

p′-DDT using UAE were the lowest. Comparing the results obtained using ASE with MAE

the concentrations of CB28

CB52

CB138

α-HCH

β-HCH

p′-DDE and p

p′-DDD were nearly identical

while the concentrations of other compounds were significantly different. Based on the low recoveries

it was concluded that UAE is a relatively inefficient extraction method

while ASE and MAE are equivalent methods. Taking into consideration the relative standard deviation (RSD) values

solvent volume

extraction time

and purchasing costs of the apparatus

MAE was considered superior to ASE for extraction of PCBs

DDTs and HCHs.
