Summary The aim of this work is the development of the PCBs determination method in the transformer oil by the SPE and Gas Chromatograph analysis. The proposed method was used for the cleanup of modeling solutions of transformer oil polluted by PCBs congeners and Aroclor1254. PCB 209 was used as internal standard for quantitation purposes. Octadecyl bonded silica phase AccuBOND C18 100mg/1ml cartridge was chosen for extraction performing. This technology has shown a very good recovery ( %) and accuracy for investigated samples. The following advantages can be indicated for this method in comparison with others: a little solvent amount, a short labor time, a low analysis cost, a good recovery and accuracy. By this case this method can be recommended for PCBs determination in the complex oil matrix. 1. Introduction Polychlorinated biphenyl s (PCBs) are a subset of the synthetic organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCBs have been produced in high volume by the chemical industry and used as additives to oils in electrical equipment, hydraulic machinery, and other applications where chemical stability has been required. These organic compounds can be transported for long distances, and have been detected in the furthest corners of the globe, including places far from where they were manufactured or used. Since PCBs exhibit a high degree of chemical and biological stability and also lipid solubility, they tend to accumulate in the food chains and have been detected in animal and human tissues [2,6,17]. Protection of human health and the environment requires that PCBs be disposed of in such a way that they do not enter the environment. The important step in the environmental management of PCBs is to identify their sources and develop strategies for reducing or eliminating their release into the environment. The chemical formula for PCBs is C 12 H (10-n) Cl n, where n is a number of chlorine atoms within the range of Theoretically, a total of 209 possible PCBs congeners exist, but only about 130 of these are likely to occur in commercial products [4]. These compounds were widely used as dielectric fluids: transformer oil, capacitors. The example of the total PCBs application is characterized as follows [4]: Germany dielectric fluids - 56 %; dissapative uses 28,7 %; hydraulic fluids 14,3 %. Japan dielectric fluids 66 %; copying paper 18 %; heat transfer fluids 11 %; other 5 %. USA dielectric fluids - 70 % of total application. 226
2 From this data we can see that transformer oil is a principal pollution source of PCBs in the environment. The US Department of Health and Human Services as well as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) consider PCBs to be probable carcinogens in humans (ATSDR 1997; IARC 1987). Many countries have developed classification for PCB-containing fluids and materials. The benchmark level for PCBs is considered as 50 mg kg -1 (or 50 ppm) in many countries [4]. The analytical determination is very important task for the control of PCBs concentration in the environment. Some Screening Test and Gas Chromatography methods are used for the determination of PCBs in different media [1,15,16]. Gas Chromatography with ECD detector is more accurate for this purpose. The matrix impact is very strong for this determination by the case of close chemical properties of oil and our interested substances (PCBs). Different methods for sample preparation and cleanup exist [5, 7-14,19,20]. These methods are needed in the detail development for the specific analyses. This paper presents the procedure for determination of PCBs in the transformer oil with the utilization of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) for the sample preparation. With SPE, many of the problems associated with liquid/liquid extraction can be prevented, such as incomplete phase separations, less-than-quantitative recoveries, use of expensive, breakable specialty glassware, and disposal of large quantities of organic solvents. SPE is more efficient than liquid/liquid extraction, yields quantitative extractions that are easy to perform, is rapid, and can be automated. Solvent use and laboratory time is reduced. 2. Experimental 2.1 Chemicals All solvents were GC-pure quality and were purchased from Supelco and Sigma-Aldrich Inc. (Germany). A working stock solution was prepared from PCBs congener mix standard (IUPAC Nos. 18, 29, 31, 52, 44, 101, 118, 138, 149, 180, 194) containing 10 µg of each in 1 ml of heptane, and from Aroclor µg in 1 ml of hexane. These standard solutions were purchased from Supelco Inc. (Germany). PCB 209 was used as an internal standard. Octadecyl bonded silica phase AccuBOND C18 100mg/1ml cartridge was chosen for extraction performing. Reversed phase separations involve a polar or moderately polar sample matrix (mobile phase) and a nonpolar stationary phase. C18 SPE cartridge has following characteristics: surface area 546 m 2 g -1 ; average pore size 60 ; Surface ph 7; carbon loading 18,8%; surface coverage 1,6 µmol m -2. Compounds are retained in C18 by nonpolarnonpolar interactions and van der Waals or dispersion forces. This cartridge is used usually for reversed phase extraction of nonpolar to moderately polar compound [3]. 2.2 Instrumentation GC 6890 (Agilent, Germany) gas chromatograph equipped with µecd detector, split/splitless injection system, and capillary columns HP-5MS. Parameters of the gas chromatograph system are characterized in Table

The calibration standards were prepared on pure oil matrix passed through cartridges C18 for the removal of the matrix impact. The quantitative calculation was based on the area count obtained for the merged peaks. The area obtained for interested peaks in the chromatograms was compared to the standard and calibration curve to quantify the PCBs concentration. The analysis control and quatitation were performed by ChemStation software version C (Agilent). 2.3 Study of the matrix removal by SPE cartridges The pure transformer oil sample without PCBs was chosen for the preparation of experimental modeling solutions. This sample was diluted in 10 times with hexane by EPA method PCBs congener mix and Aroclor1254 were added to the diluted oil sample to final concentrations of 0,2 and 0,5 µg ml -1 for each compounds for PCBs and to the total concentrations of 2,0 and 5,0 µg ml -1 for Aroclor1254. Then an internal standard (PCB 209) was added to samples. Samples were shaken for 10 min for the better dissolution. These concentrations were considered by the reason of PCBs limit concentration of 50,0 mg kg -1 in PCBs containing materials. Thereby four modeling samples were prepared for the experiment. The extraction is performed in three steps. First is a disk cleaning by dichlormethane 5 ml under vacuum near 50 kpa, and drying under vacuum 5 min. Second is a conditioning by hexane 10 ml (the functional groups of the sorbent bed are solvated in order to make them interact with the sample). Third is a matrix removal. This step was started right after hexane conditioning by the sample addition to the cartridge (1 ml) and the elution by 2 ml of hexane under vacuum. PCBs were extracted in this eluate. The total time of extraction procedure was near 10 min. This procedure was repeated three times for every concentration and for blank solution. The sample volume was striped to 1 ml under Argon stream. Then 1 µl aliquots of hexane extract is injected into chromatographic column. The same procedure was used for the sample preparation of real transformer oil samples. The vacuum was controlled by Supelco Vacuum Manifold, which has a solvent resistant main vacuum gauge and valve used to monitor the vacuum and release the vacuum during processing. 228

9 The PCBs determination in transformer oil by Gas Chromatography has a strong matrix impact. Proposed SPE extraction method has a possibility to clean up investigated modeling samples and reduces this impact very well. Cartridges C18 are a good solution for this matrix impact elimination. After this cleanup 1 µl of the obtained extract was injected in column HP- 5MS. Chromatograms of modeling solutions have a minimal retention time drift (0,02 min) and the close base line in comparison with chromatograms of calibration solutions. The quantitative result of extracted modeling samples of PCBs congeners is presented in tables 2 and 3. The average value of modeling solutions with the concentration of 0,2 and 0,5 µg ml -1 are in intervals 0,1902 0,2003 and 0,4690 0,4988 by Standard Deviation 0, ,0202 and 0,0019 0,0161 respectively. The recovery of congener PCBs for modeling samples was assessed by standard solutions with the same concentration and by internal standard PCB209. The recovery was indicated in the interval of 95,10 100,13 % for modeling solution with the PCBs concentration of 0,2 µg ml -1 and 94,04 99,77 % for modeling solution with the PCBs concentration of 0,5 µg ml -1. (table 2, 3). The better statistic parameters were indicated for samples with higher concentration. The same result was indicated for modeling solutions of Aroclor1254 with concentrations of 2,0 and 5,0 µg ml -1 (table 4, 5). The total concentration of every 45 component can be assessed easy by ChemStation software for this mixture. Maximal 4 peaks with retention times 9,80, 10,63, 11,24, 12,46 min have a good recovery in intervals 94,1 96,6 % for 2,0 µg ml -1 and 94,6 95,0 % for 5,0 µg ml -1 internal standard. The recovery for total Aroclor1254 amount is 93,1 % for 2,0 µg ml -1 and 94,9 % for 5,0 µg ml -1. The internal standard recovery is 94,1 and 93,0 % respectively for the different concentration. These good parameters for every solution are explained by two reasons: first is a good cleanup of modeling samples by SPE procedure on C18 cartridges, and second is a good separation, resolution and accuracy of Chromatographic System by the proposed method. Conclusion The utilization of AccuBOND C18 100mg/1ml cartridges with Octadecyl bonded silica phase showed a good result of the SPE cleanup and PCBs determination by Gas Chromatography in the transformer oil. The proposed method has following principal advantages: reducing a solvent amount, labor time, and so an analysis cost in comparison with other technologies; increasing a labor capacity and number of samples up to 10 times (from per month to per month for one worker); minimization of the matrix impact on the Gas Chromatography analysis; good recovery and accuracy of PCBs determination in the complex oil matrix. This method can be recommended for the implementation in analytical laboratories for the investigation of the pollutant content in the complex oil matrix. 234
