Chromatographic Separation Methods for Solid Waste Analysis

Organic contaminants in solid waste and soil include compounds, such as aromatics, phenols, polynuclear hydrocarbons, and organochlorine pesticides. The analysis for these pollutants is split by chemical characteristics based on the techniques used to extract and analyze them. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and analyzed by purge and trap (P&T), or headspace followed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) and semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are analyzed by a solvent extraction followed by GCMS.

GCMS-QP2020 NX Single Quadrupole GC-MS

The Shimadzu GCMS-QP2020 NX Single Quadrupole GC-MS is our most sensitive, versatile instrument with enhanced sensitivity. The robust vacuum system improves water removal (important for P&T methods) and enables alternative carrier gases like hydrogen and even nitrogen. High speed scanning and data acquisition allows shortened analytical runs without compromising minimum requirements for integrations per peak. Alternative ionization capability and the Boosted Efficiency Ion Source (BEIS) are two ways to improve sensitivity and reach low detection limits.
