Abstract
The invention relates to filtering systems comprising filters consisting of fibers of silanized siliceous material for environmental sampling, in particular of pollutants.
Description
Functionalized siliceous filters for sampling and purification of organic compounds
Background of the invention
The present invention refers to the field of environmental sampling, in particular of pollutants, and more precisely to filter systems allowing the simultaneous highly efficient sampling of organic pollutants in liquid or aeriform matrices.
The sampling of organic pollutants in atmosphere is performed on filters that leave out the gaseous fraction of pollutants and therefore these systems are suitable only for the sampling of particulate matter. For this reason, the sampling of semivolatile organic compounds in aeriform matrices is performed by putting, after the filter, an adsorbent or absorbent material, able to retain the gaseous fraction not retained by the filter. Similarly, the sampling of organic compounds in liquid matrices is performed on filtering and adsorbing systems.
The filtering systems of the present invention allow to extract concurrently the organic compounds in fluids, by means of a single filtering and adsorbing system, requiring less time and less amount of extracting solvent. The filtering systems of the present invention are disposable avoiding risks of contamination, are very less bulky and easier to be used in automated sampling systems, are less hygroscopic so that they can be weighed very easily to determinate the mass of total particulate matter.
State of the art
Enrichment of organic compounds from fluid matrices
The sampling of semivolatile organic compounds in atmosphere on a common filters (of quartz, paper or teflon) completely leaves out the gaseous fraction of pollutant, which can pass through the filter itself without being retained. Said filters are suitable for sampling of undispersed material on an aeriform matrix. Furthermore filters of quartz have the drawback of being weight with difficulty to determinate the mass of total particulate material because of their high hygroscopy.
The sampling in air of organic semi-volatile compounds is carried out placing after the filter an absorbing/adsorbing material able to retain the vapour fraction of the analyte which is not retained by the filter. Said sampling system can consist for example of an
air sampler equipped with a quartz fiber filter with thickness of 102 mm, followed by a polyurethane foam (PUF) adsorbent with a thickness of 50 mm and a density of 0,22 g/cm3. The sampling time is 24 hour, with a flux of 225 L/min, for a total of 300 m3 sampled.
For example, the above type of filtering system is used in the methods of sampling developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) : the method T0-4A for the determination in air of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) by means of sampling on PUF (polyurethane foam) followed by gas- chromatography/multidetector (GC/MD) ; the method TO-9A for determination in air of polychlorinated, polybrominated and brominated/chlorinated dibenzo-_p-dioxins and the method T0-13A for determination in air of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon by means of gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) .
The same sampling system is used in method TO-4A, which applies to the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and pesticides. The filter and the PUF are extracted together in a Soxhlet apparatus with a mixture of hexane with 10% of diethyl ether for at least 16 hours. The extracted is then purified by using a column of alumina, or, if the separation needs to be increased, a column of silica and magnesium oxide (Florisil®) and sodium sulphate can be used. The purified and separated fractions are concentrated to a few of microliters (μΐ) and injected in the gas-chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer for the analysis of PCB, or to an electron capture detector for the analysis of HCB; for pesticides, other kinds of detector are used.
The same system for collecting analytes is used in method TO-9A for the analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuranes (PCDF), which uses a Soxhlet apparatus, extracting the filter and PUF together with benzene or toluene as the extraction solvent for 16 hours. The extract firstly undergo to a liquid-liquid extraction with an acid and a base, followed by a purification with a column of silica, then of alumina, and lastly of carbon. The sample is concentrated to a volume of few microliters (μΐ) and injected in the gas- chromatograph with a high-resolution mass spectrometer detector. The same system for collecting analytes is used in method TO-13A, useful for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) . The extraction is carried out by using a 10% mixture diethyl
ether/hexane and analysing the filter and the d PUF in the Soxhlet for 18 hours. The extracted is purified in a column of silica gel. After being concentrated, the sample is injected in a gas- chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer. The PUF has a low recovery for lighter PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphtylene, acenaphtene) , because of their high vapour pressure, making them able to volatilize.
The above methods allow to sample the totality of semi-volatile compounds in atmosphere, but they have some limitations. The clean-up of adsorbent and the extraction of analytes from the same require a large consumption of time and reagents and if the extracted adsorbent is reused, there are serious risks of contamination .
The use of two sampling system, constituted by a filtering system and an adsorbing system makes the automation of the sampling difficult, because it is necessary to substitute both systems for every measure. Moreover, also in single and not automated samplings, the encumbrance due to the adsorbent makes the sampling inconvenient, especially if a personal sampler is used for industrial hygiene studies. The described methods do not allow to determinate the ratio between the gaseous fraction and the fraction associated with the particulate matter, because the analytes originally e associated with the particulate matter retained by the filter are partially desorbed and then retained by the adsorbent/absorbent material, therefore, sampling on a single sampling system do not lead to a loss of information on partitioning between particulate phase and homogeneous phase with the, liquid or gaseous, matrix, because this information is anyway not available.
For liquid matrices, it is known a type of device which is constituted of a filter with microparticles of silica derivatized with octadecyl or octyl groups dispersed on it (ENVI-Disk™, Sigma Aldrich™) , commonly used for solid phase extraction (SPE) of organic compounds from liquid samples, for example aqueous matrices (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2006, 54, 9642-9651, Multiresidue Method for Determination of 35 Pesticides in Virgin Olive Oil by Using Liquid-Liquid Extraction Techniques Coupled with Solid-Phase Extraction Clean Up and Gas Chromatography with Nitrogen Phosphorus Detection and Electron Capture Detection; E. G. Amvrazi and T . A. Albanis) .
It may be also possible to use these type of device for sampling organic compounds in atmosphere, but the disadvantage of these type of filters is that the microparticles on which analytes are adsorbed, because they are not bonded to the filtering support, are lost during the time elapsing between sampling and analysis.
Urbe I, Ruana J., 1997, J Chromatogr A. "Application of solid- phase extraction discs with a glass fiber matrix to fast determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water", 778 (1-2) : 337-45 discloses solid phase extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with ENVI-Disk™.
US2003/209146 discloses a filtering system comprising filters made of fibers together with silica particles, wherein the latter are generated from polymerisation of tetraethoxysilane and subsequent silanization with octadecylsilane . Said filter is a little variation of ENVI-Disk™, prepared by treating the surface of the fibers with sodium hydroxide IN to bound oligosilica spheres generated from the polymerization of tetraethoxysilane and silanizing said oligosilica particles with an octadecyl groups. Said system is used for example for sampling caffeine in a physiological saline solution, or for sampling benzene from air.
Another type of support for solid phase extraction (SPE) of organic compounds from liquid matrices is Empore™ systems produced by 3M™. They are constituted by adsorbent particle, for example divinylbenzene spheres or spheres of silica derivatized with octadecyl groups, spheres of carbon incorporated in a polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon PTFE) network. Empore™ disks are commonly used for solid phase extraction of organic compounds from liquid matrices (Anal. Chem. 1996, 68, 2916-2926, Quantitative Determination of Total Molar Concentrations of Bioaccumulatable Organic Micropollutants in Water Using C18 Empore Disk and Molar Detection Techniques; W. M. G. M. van Loon, F. G. Wijnker, M. E. Verwoerd, and J. L. M. Hermens) . Empore™ disks have been used as passive samplers of organic micropollutants (Anal. Chem. 2003, 75, 4639-4645 Determination of Nitroaromatic Compounds in Air Samples at Femtogram Level Using C18 Membrane Sampling and On-Line Extraction with LC-MS, C. Sanchez, H. Carlsson, A. Colmsjo, C. Crescenzi, and R. Batlle; Journal of Chromatography A, 1129 (2006) 1-8 Air sampling with Empore solid phase extraction membranes and online single-channel desorption/liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis: Determination of volatile and semi-volatile organophosphate esters Johanna Tollback, Davide Tamburro, Carlo
Crescenzi, Hakan Carlsson) . The resistance and impedance of Empore™ disks allow to sample the air only with low linear speed (flow rate per unit area) , unsuitable for the sampling of many semivolatile organic micropollutant, because of their very low concentration.
Are also known the filters named "sandwich filters", produced by Horizon Technologies™ and named Atlantic SPE disks™, based on the same principle of Empore™ disks, but in this case, the adsorbent material is not incorporated in a teflon network but is located between two layers of quartz or paper. Also in this case, the adsorbent material can consist of microsphere of silica derivatised for example with octadecyl groups, styrene/divinylbenzene or carbon. These devices are used for solid phase extraction of organic compounds from liquid matrices (J. Agrrc. Food Chem., 2006, 54 (3), pp 645-649, "Semiautomated Determination of Pesticides in Water Using Solid Phase Extraction Disks and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry" Cristiana C. Leandro, Dawn A. Bishop, Richard J. Fussell, Frankie D. Smith, Brendan J. Keely) . Their impedance, which is higher than that of Empore™ disks, forces to use fluxes so low that they are unusable for sampling of most of the organic compounds of interest in atmosphere. Moreover, said sandwich disks have a thickness of more than 5 millimeters, contrary to Envi-Disks or Empore disks which have a thickness of about 1 millimeter, so that they can be hardly inserted in the presently used air sampler.
Functionalized chromatographic supports
In the field of chromatography, columns are constituted by adsorbent or absorbent materials (stationary phases) , on which several mobile phases such as, for example aqueous solvents, organic solvents, gases flow. Choosing appropriate stationary and mobile phases allows to selectively retain or elute the different compounds. Stationary phases made of functionalized silica microspheres are known. In particular, functionalization by silylatmg agents of siliceous materials is known.
The general reaction is as follows:
n -Si-OH + Xn-SiRm → -(Si-0)nSiRm + n HX
where -Si-OH is a silanol of the surface, -(Si-O)- is the functionalized fraction of the surface, X is the leaving group, R means other groups bonded to the silicon atom, n and m are integers wherein n+m=4, n>0, m>0.
The most used leaving groups are halides (-C1, -Br etc.), alkoxy (-OCH3, -OCH2CH3 etc.), which are left as hydrogen halides (HC1, HBr etc.) and alcohols (CH3OH, CH3CH2OH etc.) respectively.
A silylating agent may contain from one to three leaving groups, and according to this number may form from one to three bonds with the siliceous surface, on condition that the surface concentration of silanols allows it.
Silanization of silica microspheres is used for the construction of stationary phases for chromatography, as those used in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) .
For example, US patent N. 3002823 discloses a gel chromatography method on silica gel for separating compounds having different molecular weights in aqueous phase, by using an uncharged granular gel consisting of a tridimensional network of molecules bonded to aliphatic radicals with from 3 to 10 carbon atoms, with a content of -OH groups of at least 12% of dry weight of the gel obtained from polymerization of uncharged hydroxylated organic substances with halogenated or epoxy organic substances. US Patent N. 4118316 discloses a method of gel chromatography for separating compounds having different molecular weight, by means of porous silica supports functionalized and silylised with quaternary ammonium groups. US Patent N. 4539399 discloses a silica gel functionalized with cyclodextrins by a chemical bond with silanols, to be used for thin layer chromatography, liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) .
US Patent N. 5221447 discloses capillary surfaces containing silica, like quartz or silica capillaries used in capillary electrophoresis, activated by a bonding agent so that silanols form Si-O-Si bonds and end with acrylic and vinyl groups. Said surfaces are reacted with a hydrophilic polymer such as methylcellulose, pol (vinyl) alcohol, dextran, starch and agarose, to form a hydrophilic polymeric coating.

obtaining membranes are derivatized with octyl, buthyl and methyl groups .
The prior art documents Urbe I, Ruana J., 1997, J Chromatogr A. ; "Application of solid-phase extraction discs with a glass fiber matrix to fast determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water", 77'8 (1-2) : 337-45 , US2003/209146 and Ya-Show Chen, Chao- Shuan Chang, Shing-Yi Suen, 2007, Journal of Membrane Science , "Protein adsorption separation using glass fiber membranes modified with short-chain organosilicon derivatives", Volume 305, Issues 1-2, pages 25-135 may be considered as the prior art closest to the present invention.
The present invention differs from US2003/209146 and Urbe et al, 1997 because the filter is made only of silanized fibers and does not comprise silanized silica particles.
The present invention differs from Ya-Show Chen et al, 2007, because the fibers are not grafted with a generic and non-specific hydrophobic moiety, but they are grafted with groups chosen in order to specifically retain the desired analytes.
The distinguishing feature of the present invention is that the filter consists of fibers which are directly silanized with specific silylating agents.
The technical effect is that the chemical characteristics of the silylating agents lead to obtain a filter allowing the retention of semivolatile organic compounds from liquid and aeriform matrices.
Technical problem
It is self-evident that are not currently available filtering systems capable of simultaneously retain organic compounds from liquid and aeriform matrices in order to obtain an environmental sampling with high efficiency.
The present inventors have surprisingly developed filtering systems capable of retaining semivolatile organic compounds from aeriform matrices together with particulate matter, or organic compounds from liquid matrices. The filtering systems of the present invention show improved performances, because they have a high sampling efficiency even with high fluxes of sampled fluid: so that it is possible to sample with higher flow rates, therefore reducing the limit of detection for a given sampling time, or reducing the sampling time for a given limit of detection.
For example, it is possible to sample polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in less than 24 hours with a flux of sampled air (linear speed) higher than 0.3 m/s.
Although at first sight it may seem possible to compare stationary phases employed in chromatographic columns with the filtering systems of this invention, as for example the stationary phases of chromatographic columns with the organic group which filters are functionalized with, there are some marked differences, which do not allow to apply the knowledge in the field of chromatography to the field of filtering systems employed in the field of environmental sampling of the present invention.
The aim of sampling is to collect a fraction of the matrix to be analysed, thus the obtained sample should be homogeneous and representative of the matrix from which it was sampled. In the case of fluid matrices, it is possible to sample the whole matrix or to sample only one analyte in an enrichment system. The sampling of the analyte in the enrichment system also requires the measurement or the estimate of the sampled volume, but is the only one available for the analytes present at low concentrations. Alternatively, it would be necessary to sample enormous volumes of matrix in order to reach the limit of detection. The sampling of the analyte on the enrichment system can be both passive or active: in the first case, the analyte reaches the enrichment system by diffusion, in the second case by means of pumps. In case of very diluted analytes, it is necessary to sample large volumes of matrix in order to exceed the limit of quantification (LOQ) : in these cases, in order to sample in reasonably short times, i.e. from 24 to 300 hours, in practice it is compulsory to use an active sampling on an enrichment system, also known as capitation system. An ideal enrichment system totally retains the analyte and leaves out the remaining matrix; a real enrichment system retains a good fraction of analyte together with the other compounds of the matrix (interfering agents) . The efficiency of an enrichment system is defined as the ratio between the amount of the retained analyte and the total amount of analyte which passes through it. The capacity of an enrichment system is defined as the maximum amount of analyte which it can retain before it saturates and loses /changes its efficiency.
Therefore, the obtained sample is constituted by the enrichment system with analyte and interfering agents, and the value of sampled volume is associated to it. The analyte is extracted from
the sample by a mixture of solvents selected so that the maximum amount of analyte and the minimum amount of interfering agents are extracted. It may be necessary to further purify the sample before proceeding with the analysis.
An alternative to extraction with solvents is the thermal desorption when the analyte is enough volatile, the enthalpy of desorption is less than the energy necessary to degrade the analyte, and interfering agents are less volatile or absent.
Unlike sampling, to which the present invention refers to, chromatography can be defined as the physicochemical phenomenon whereby the individual components of a mixture are separated thanks to their different partitioning between a stationary phase and a mobile phase. During chromatography, each compound is distributed between the two phases with its own characteristic distribution ratio, depending on the different affinity for the two phases; consequently, the volume of mobile phase required to elute a compound, i.e. to make it reach the end of the stationary phase, is a characteristic of the compound itself and is defined retention volume. Similarly, the time in which the compound is eluted is defined as retention time. The aim of chromatography, in the separation and purification of the compounds present in very low quantities and/or concentrations in a sample (analytical chemistry) , is to separately elute all the compounds of interest, with the maximum separation between them and the minimum possible retention volume/time.
Conversely, the aim of sampling, to which the present invention refers to, is that the elution of the analyte takes place with the maximum possible retention volume/time.
The person skilled in the art could not have found the solution of the technical problem of the present invention in the field of chromatography, because the aim of chromatography is to separately elute compounds with maximum separation between them and minimum retention volume/time for the purposes of separation and purification of the mixture and not, as in the present invention, to elute the analyte with a maximum retention volume/time in order to sample the analyzed matrix. Therefore, the person skilled in the art could not find any suggestion on how to modify the filter systems known in the art on the basis of knowledge of chromatography, because although the field of chromatography seems apparently close, it does not refer to the technical problem characterizing the systems for environmental sampling. Therefore,
the skilled person could not have had a reasonable expectation of success in obtaining a filter capable of retaining compounds both from the solid matrix and from the fluid matrix, by modifying the silica fiber filters by functionalization.
The filtering systems of the present invention differ from the stationary phases used in chromatography columns because they are not functionalized flat surfaces, spherical or capillary, but they are fibers so to obtain filters capable of retaining the organic compounds from mixed phases .
The process of functionalization known in the field of chromatography for flat surfaces cannot be merely applied on a fiber, since in chromatography this process aims primarily to keep as much as possible regular surfaces, so as not to lose resolution of the chromatographic peak. Conversely, the aim of the derivatization of the sampling system of the present invention is to bind to the fibers the maximum possible quantity of organic groups, because said fibers, which constitute the filter, show a decreased ability to react, compared to common supports for chromatography columns.
Therefore, the same inventors have modified and implemented the functionalization reaction in order to allow the fibers to react more effectively and in order to bind the maximum possible quantity of organic groups.
Unlike functionalization of chromatographic columns, wherein the surface is activated with acids, in the present invention the quartz fibers were activated with suitable alkali reactants, in order to increase the surface concentration of silanols, before functionalization of the same fibers with the appropriate organic groups .
Also the selection of the organic groups in the functionalization reaction is based on different criteria compared to what happens in chromatography.
In fact, while in chromatography groups are selected in order to allow the separation of the analytes in the shortest time (volume of eluent) , in the case of the present invention the organic group with which the fibers are functionalized is selected on the basis of the ability to retain as much as possible all analytes.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the filtering system is a quartz fiber filter with diameter 47 mm, thickness 1 mm, percentage of retention of the powders having a diameter greater
than 0.3 μπι higher than 99.98%, and the fibers are functionalized with phenyls .
The process for the preparation of the filters provides that they may are purified from organic impurities with commonly used methods wherein the most appropriate can be easily chosen by the person skilled in the field and treated in such a way as to maximize the surface concentration of free silanols, by treatment with an appropriate basic reagent. The so activated filters are then dehydrated, preferably by subsequent dives in appropriate dehydrating agents, or mixture thereof.
The basic reactive used to treat the fibers so as to hydrolyze the maximum number of siloxane bridges to free silanols are selected from the group comprising solutions of NH3r NaOH, KOH, LiOH Ca(OH)2, Be (OH) 2, Mg(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali and alkaline-earth metals, sulfites and bisulfites of alkali and alkaline-earth metals, phosphates of alkali and alkaline-earth metals, hypochlorites and chlorites of alkali and alkaline-earth metals, CH30"Na+, CH30"K+, (CH30") 2Ca++, CH3CH20"Na+, CH3CH20~K+, (CH3CH20~) 2Ca++, organic amines, and mixtures thereof; preferably the alkaline reagent is a solution of NaOH. The dehydrating agents may be appropriately selected by a person with ordinary skills in the field from the commonly used organic solvents, marely as an example they can be selected from the group comprising anhydrous methanol, anhydrous ethanol, anhydrous 1-propanol, anhydrous 2-propanol, anhydrous acetone, anhydrous N- Dimethylformaldehyde, anhydrous ethyl acetate, anhydrous chloromethane, anhydrous dichloromethane, anhydrous chloroform, anhydrous tetrachloromethane, anhydrous toluene, anhydrous xylenes, anhydrous pentane, anhydrous cyclopentane, anhydrous hexane, heptane, anhydrous cyclohexane, anhydrous isooctane, anhydrous nonane, anhydrous pyridine, anhydrous tetrahydrofuran .
Then, the filters are treated with the silylating or functionalizing agent selected according to the classes of compounds to be sampled.
Within the content of the present invention, silylating agent or functionalizing agent means the compound of XnSiRm type wherein n and m are integers and n + m = 4, n > 0, m > 0 and R has the meaning as previously described.
The treatment conditions with the silylating or functionalizing agent depend on the selected agent.
The selected reaction solvent should not interfere with the reaction and should have a boiling temperature (Teb) equal to or greater than the reaction temperature, preferably Teb is greater than or equal to 80 ° C.
The person with ordinary skills a in the field is able to select the suitable reaction solvent among those known in the art, merely as an example the solvent may be toluene or isooctane or nonane or pyridine or tetrahydrofuran or xylenes .
The reaction can be catalyzed by temperature, the reaction temperature is between room temperature and the boiling temperature of the silylating agent or of the solvent, preferably the temperature is 80 ° C.
The reaction can be catalyzed by irradiation with ionizing radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet C radiation, ultraviolet B radiation, preferably gamma rays.
The treatment with the silylating agent or functionalizing agent may be carried out by immersion in a solution of the same or by depositing on the filter of the vapors of the heated functionalizing agent.
In the case of the silanization, treatment is preferably carried out by immersion in a solution of it, as silylating compounds are easily flammable below their boiling temperature.
After functionalization, the filters are cleaned by the excess of silylating agent with a solvent capable of solubilizing the silylating agent used, and are ready to sample organic compounds.
For example, if the silylating agent is trietoxyphenylsilane, the solvent may be ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, toluene, xylenes or pyridine .
In one embodiment of the present invention, the filters were purified from organic impurities by heating at 400 °C for 48 hours, and were activated by immersion in an aqueous solution of 0.2 M NaOH for 24 hours at room temperature. The activated filters were cleaned and dehydrated by successive immersions in distilled water, anhydrous acetone and anhydrous toluene, and were immersed for 24 hours in solutions of toluene and phenyltriethoxysilane (silylating agent) 95:5, at a temperature of 80 ° C, using as an activator of the reaction a gamma ray source (cobalt 60) . After derivatization, the filters have been cleaned for subsequent dives in toluene, acetone and water.
The so obtained filters are inserted into a sampler that, by means of a suction pump, determines a controlled air flow (vapors and particulate matter) on the filter. The structure of filters allows to retain the particulate matter, on which is present a fraction of the organic compounds, while the groups added with the derivatization allow to adsorb the fraction present in the vapor phase: it is therefore possible to sample on a single support the totality of the compound considered.
The analytes can be extracted from the filter with the common extraction techniques, and then it is possible to proceed to quantification .
Extraction can be carried out by means of appropriate solvent or by thermal desorption.
Before analysis it is possible to weigh the filter to determine the total quantity of particulate matter.
In one embodiment, prior to the operation of weighing, the disks are confined for 48 hours in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity (25 °C, 50% relative humidity) ; generally each weighing is repeated five times.
The functionalized filters of quartz or glass allow a better determination of the weight, compared to the filters of quartz or glass not treated. In fact the treatment of derivatization of the hydroxyl groups makes the filter less hygroscopic. This translates into a smaller change in weight of the filter during operation of gravimetric determination.
The functionalized filters may also be used for the sampling of organic compounds in liquid matrices, by flowing the sample on the filter, which retains the organic compounds letting pass the rest of the liquid. Subsequently, with a suitable solvent or by thermal desorption, the organic compounds are selectively eluted from the filter and can be analyzed.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a functionalized quartz fiber filter with a diameter 47 mm, thickness 2 mm, percentage of retention of powder equal to 99, 98%, has been inserted into a sampler with a flow rate of sampling of 38.33 L/min in order to sample atmospheric air pollutants: naphthalene, acenaphtylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo (a) anthracene, chrysene, benzo (b+j +k) fluoranthene, benzo (e) pyrene, benzo (a) pyrene,
perylene, indeno ( 1 , 2 , 3 , c, d) pyrene, dibenzo (a, h) anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following non- limitative examples.
Examples
Example 1
The optimal conditions for binding to filters the best amount of organic substance have been identified. It was evaluated the effect of pre-treatment with acids and/or bases at different concentrations (HC1 and/or NaOH at increasing concentrations from 0.1 to 2 M) and temperatures to increase the availability of free silanoiles .
Reaction conditions have been optimized: concentration (from 1% to 5%) , time (from 12 to 48 hours) and temperature (25 or 80 ° C) .
In Table 1 the increases in weight obtained with the silylating agent phenyltrietoxysilane in toluene are shown.
Table 1
The temperature has a significant effect on the reaction and the best results are obtained when the reaction takes place at 80 ° C
The reaction solvent must not interfere with the reaction and have a boiling temperature equal to or greater than 80 ° C.
Among the commonly used solvents not interfering with the reaction, toluene has a suitable boiling temperature and then has been chosen as the reaction solvent. Other high-boiling solvents are available, such as nonane or pyridine, but are more expensive and risky. Furthermore, it has been experimentally observed that
many silylating agents not solubilize in nonane because it is too apolar. Furthermore it is known that the toxicity of pyridine is greater than that of the other solvents indicated.
The use of gamma rays as an alternative reaction activator has been also evaluated, by using a source of Cobalt 60. The results obtained are shown in the following Table 2.
Table 2
The derivatized filters were characterized with thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis.
The silanized filters were used to sample polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air, obtaining recoveries higher than those of untreated filters, and comparable to those of the filter/absorbent systems, currently used.
The sampling was performed on Skypost P HV (Tecora) at a flow rate of 38.33 L / min. Downstream of the filter (silanized or not) was placed a cartridge of polyurethane foam to collect the fraction of analyte lost from the filters. The ratio of analyte collected on the filter and analyte collected on the cartridge provides the efficiency per cent, as shown in Table 3 below.

Specifically, filters in quartz fiber with a diameter of 47 and 100 millimeters provided from Munktel™ and filters in quartz wool 50 millimeter (Horizon TechnologyTM) have been used. The filters were purified from organic impurities by heating at 400 ° C for 48 hours, and activated by immersion in an aqueous solution of 0.2 M NaOH for 24 hours at room temperature. The filters in quartz wool 50 mm (Atlantics) were discarded because they could not stand the pre-treatment . The activated filters were cleaned and dehydrated by successive immersions in distilled water, anhydrous acetone and toluene, and were immersed for 24 hours in solutions of and toluene and silylating agent (95:5), at a temperature of 80 ° C. The silylation agents used are phenyltriethoxysilane, phenyltrichlorosilane , octadecyltrichlorosilane, chlorodimethyloctadecylsilane, chlorotrimethylsilane and 4- aminopropyltriethoxysilane .
The phenyltriethoxysilane gave the best results for the sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, acenaphthylene, Acenaphthene, fluorene, Phenanthrene , anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo (a) anthracene, chrysene, benzo (b+j+k) fluoranthene, benzo (e) pyrene, benzo (a) pyrene, Perylene,

The dashed line represents the change of weight as a percentage in function of temperature. The continuous line identifies the temperature difference measured. At about 225 °C, the rapid weight loss associated with a calorimetric peak is due to oxidation of phenyls covalently bound to the surface.
Afterwards, the need of an acid treatment subsequent or alternative to the basic one has been investigated. The obtained results indicate that, for this type of support, the basic treatment is required while the acid one is unnecessary or harmful . The following Table 5 shows the percent increases in weight of the filters (Munktell 47 mm) in function of the type of
activation treatment of the surface. Subsequently, the filters were dried and silanized with phenyltriethoxysilane.

It has been chosen to operate with 0.2 M NaOH for 24 hours.
Furthermore, the possibility of the silanisation reaction to occur by irradiation with ionizing radiation has been also investigated, by immersing the activated and cleaned filters in solutions of silylatmg agent 5% in hexane or toluene and irradiating with gamma rays at doses of 50 and 200 kGy.
The obtained results are shown in Table 8:

Example 2
The filters of Example 1 have been used for sampling.
For the sampling, samplers Skypost PM HV (Tecora) have been used. The flow rates of sampling were placed at 38.33 L/min, and a sampling head has been used in order to select the Mi0.
At least 24 hours before the extraction with solvent, the filters were marked with an extraction/purification standard, for example with 25 ng of perdeuterated PAHs (PAH-ES Crescent) . An accelerated solvent extraction has been performed with an ASE 200 (Dionex) . The sample was preheated to 100 °C and 2000 psi. The extraction solvent (dichloromethane : acetone=80 : 20) was added to the cell containing the sample and maintained at 100 °C and 2000 psi for 5 minutes, and then was collected. The extraction was repeated for other 4 cycles .
The extract of about 40 mL was concentrated up to 5 mL through the use of a waterbath at 40 °C under a stream of nitrogen. The extract was purified. In our case, we used an automated system based on gel permeation AccuPrep MPS™ & AccuVap Inline™ (J2 Scientific, USA) characterized by:
Column: 45 cm, internal diameter 2 cm.
Resin: Bio-Beads S-X3 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA), 200-400 mesh, PM (exclusion limit) 2.000, PM (operating range) from 2.000 to 100 Mobile phase: Dichloromethane (Romil, UK); Application: High purity process solvent (Assay> 99.9% * Water <0.01% Residue <0.0005%)
Flow rate of mobile phase: 5 mL/min
Loaded sample volume: 5 mL
Method used:
Dump: 18.5 min

The purified sample was concentrated by AccuVap and resumed with a hexane solution with 1% of nonane. At this point the standard syringe was added, 20 ng of perdeuterated benzo (e) pyrene and perdeuterated chrysene (PAH-IS, Crescent) . Subsequently the GC / MS analysis was performed. For the instrumental analysis, an Ultra Trace GC coupled to a triple quadrupole TSQ ( Termofisher) has been employed, using the following parameters:
Meta.XLB chromatographic column (TR-330262-Teknokroma) 0.25 mm x 60m with 0.25 μη phase, 1.0 ml / min flow of He in splitless mode for 1 minute at 280 ° C.

The inventors did not performed a direct comparison on sampling with the filters of the present invention and those known in the art (ENVIdisk™, Empore™ disks, Atlantic SPE disk™) because the filters known in the art cannot be used in sampling with a flow rate of 38.33 L / min, used in the sampler. Sampling at a different flow rate, in addition to losing the aerodynamic cutting would provide not comparable results because the sampling efficiency is a function of the linear speed (flow rate per surface) .
However, it is possible to state that none of those systems (ENVIdisk™, Empore™ disks, Atlantic SPE disk™) allows to sample the atmosphere with the common samplers.
Example 3
The filters of Example 1 have been used for sampling in water of polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) .
A very highly PCDD/Fs contaminated sample of water was used. In this kind of liquid, the PCDD/Fs are both dissolved in the water and associated to particles suspended in the water, as well as in Example 2 the PAH were both in vapour phase and associated to
suspended particles in the air. The concentration of PCDD/Fs (measured with a liquid-liquid extraction with methylene chloride in a separatory funnel, according with EPA Method 1613) in the water was the following (table 10) :
Table 10
By means of a hollow punch, filters with 10 mm diameter were obtained starting from the filters with 47 mm diameter of Example 1.
An exact volume (50 mL) of contaminated water was passed through one filter by gravity: at the end of this step, the PCDD/F were sampled and retained on the filter. Then, the PCDD/F were extracted from the filter by eluting with 10 mL of dichloromethane .
The dichloromethane with the PCB eluted was spiked with an extraction/purification standard (400 pg of Wellington™ EN-1948ES, a 13C-labeled PCDD/F mixture) . After this step, the extracted and spiked sample was dehydrated by elution with 5 mL of dichloromethane on a cartridge made of 1 gram of anhydrous sodium sulphate. Finally, the extracted, spiked and dehydrated sample was concentrated to 200 \i and analized with high resolution gas
chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, using a Ultra Trace GC™ coupled to a triple quadrupole TSQ™ (Thermo Fisher™) , using the following parameters:
Meta.XLB chromatographic column (TR-330262-Teknokroma) 0.25 mm x 60m with 0.25 μη phase, 1.0 ml / min flow of He in splitless mode for 1 minute at 290 ° C.
GC Ramp :
150 °C for 1,6 minutes
20 ° / min up to 210 ° C, maintained for zero minutes.
3 ° / mm up to 275 ° C, maintained for 12 minutes.
15 ° / min up to 300 ° C, maintained for 8 minutes
15 ° / min up to 330 ° C, maintained for 8 minutes.
The mass-spectrometric detection of PCDD/F has been performed in SRM (single reaction monitoring) : the loss of C0C1 was monitored in the triple quadrupole.
The results obtained are shown in the following table 11.

The results are in good agreement with the measurement performed with the liquid-liquid extraction with methylene chloride in a separatory funnel, previously shown.
Moreover, in order to measure the sampling efficiency, the water passed through the silylated filter (supposed to be without PCDD/F) was collected and analyzed (by liquid-liquid extraction with methylene chloride in a separatory funnel) . The amount of PCDD/F not retained by the silylated filter is shown in table 12, and the sampling efficiency is calculated as the ratio between the amount collected on the filter and the amount remained in the water .
Table 12
Example 4
Silylated filters with an aminopropylic moyety have been used in the sampling of phenols in air.
The silylated filters have been obtained from the following procedure. Glass fiber filters purchased from Whatman™ (GFF-C, 47 mm diameter) have been purified by heating at 400 °C and then
activated by immersion in NaOH 0,5 M for 24 hours at room temperature. Then, the filters have been washed with water followed by anhydrous acetone followed by anhydrous toluene. After these washings, the filters have been silylated by immersion in a solution of aminopropyltrietoxysilane (5% in toluene) at 80 °C for 24 hours. The aminopropyltrietoxysilane was purchased from Sigma Aldrich™. Finally, the silylated filters have been washed with toluene and acetone .
The sampling of phenols from air has been performed on the silylated filters with a Tecora™ Skypost™ air sampler, with a flow rate of 38,33 liters per minute. A Mn02 _based ozone scrubber was used in the sampling. In order to evaluate the sampling efficiency, a back-up silylated filter was used: the two filters was then analized separately.
Phenols were extracted from the filter by sonication with a mixture of acetone and toluene (50:50) and analized by GC-MS, using a gascromatograph Ultra Trace GC™ coupled to a ion trap mass spectrometer ITQ™ (Thermo Fisher™) , using the following parameters .
Meta.XLB chromatographic column (TR-330262-Teknokroma) 0.25 mm x 60m with 0.25 μιτι phase, 1.5 ml / min flow of He in splitless mode for 1 minute at 250 ° C.
GC Ramp :
150 °C for 1 minute
15 ° / min up to 170 ° C, maintained for 5 minutes.
15 0 / min up to 230 0 C, maintained for 10 minutes.
15 ° / min up to 270 ° C, maintained for 5 minutes
10 ° / min up to 300 ° C, maintained for 5 minutes.
The mass-spectrometric detection of phenols has been performed in in the ion trap using a full scan from 50 to 150 Th.
The sampling efficiency, expressed as the ratio between the amount collected on the first and on the second filter, is shown in table 13.
