چکیده

As fontes que abastecem o sistema público de água em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina-Brasil são muito diversificadas e foram usadas na investigação da formação de trihalometanos (THM). Os resultados obtidos apresentaram relação com os mananciais onde são feitas as captações de água. Nos mananciais onde há maior contato com vegetação a quantidade de trihalometanos totais (TTHM) foi maior. As amostras de água do rio Cubatão-Pilões apresentaram quantidade de TTHM média de 59,9 μg L. Na Lagoa do Peri, que possui o agravante de conter grandes quantidades de algas, a quantidade média de TTHM foi de 152,3 μg L. Nas amostras do sistema Costa Norte, que são provenientes de poços artesianos, a média de TTHM encontrada foi de 19,4 μg L. Como a formação de THM é dependente da adição de cloro, não foi verificada a presença de THM em águas naturais (nascentes e poços artesianos). A metodologia analítica utilizada foi baseada em um sistema purga-e-trap acoplado a um cromatógrafo a gás equipado com detector por captura de elétrons. O desvio padrão relativo, limite de detecção e limite de quantificação para a metodologia desenvolvida corresponderam a faixa de 8-17%; 0,01-0,03 μg L e 0,03-0,08 μg L, respectivamente. A faixa linear de trabalho foi de 0,1-8,0 μg L para todos os compostos. A exatidão obtida variou de 91,3-126,0%.

Comparison of two validated gas-chromatographic methods for the determination of trihalomethanes in drinking water

In this paper the results obtained using two validated gaschromatographic procedures on drinking water for the determination of trihalomethanes are compared. The volatile compounds, chloroform (CF), bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM) and bromoform (BF) were detected by purge and trap capillary column gas-chromatography with electrolytic conductivity detector ( ELCD) and th...

Techniques for Optimizing the Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Water Using Purge-and-Trap/GC/MS Application

The analysis of volatile organic compounds in water is normally accomplished by purge-and-trap/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. U.S. EPA Method 8260B with purge and trap sample introduction is widely used for the analysis of aqueous samples other than drinking water. This application note discusses problems that can arise and some easy solutions for them. These techniques have resulted in ...
