Abstract

A fast, efficient, and non-chromatographic method was presented in this study for nitrite, nitrate, and p-nitrophenol (N-compounds) extraction and speciation analysis of environmental samples. By applying ultrasound-assisted solid-liquid extraction (USLE), analytes were efficiently extracted from water, soil, or sediment collected in areas of environmental disaster. These analytes were selectively converted to NO(g) through UV photolysis (NO3-), H2O2/UV photocatalysis (PNP), and direct conversion (NO2-). Following conversion, NO(g) was separated from the liquid phase and determined by high-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS MAS). The LODs obtained were 0.0970.004 mg L-1 for nitrite, 0.1190.004 mg L-1 for nitrate, and 0.090 +/- 0.006 mg L-1 for p-nitrophenol. On applying this speciation method to environmental samples, concentrations were found to be up to 0.99 +/- 0.03 mg L-1 (NO2-), 49.80 +/- 2.5 mg L-1 (NO3-), and 0.10 +/- 0.02 mg L-1 (PNP). Finally, addition/recovery study of real water, soil, and sediment samples showed 101 +/- 2% recovery for NO2-, 100 +/- 1% for NO3-, and 96 +/- 5% for PNP. (AU)
