In this method, polycarbamate in sediment is methylated to ethylenebis dithiocarbamate dimethyl (EBDC- 2 Me) and dimethyldithiocarbamate methyl (DMDC-Me). Concentrations of polycarbamate are calculated from that of EBDC- 2 Me. The method detection limit (MDL) and method quantification limit (MQL) were 0 . 94 ng / g-dry and 2 . 57 ng / g-dry, respectively. The average recovery rate from sediment were 77 . 8 % with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2 . 1 %. Recovery rate was improved by the addition of methanol as solvent extraction in the case of organic-rich sediments. Polycarbamate added to sediment was completely lost for a day of preservation. In contrast, polycarbamate added to the crude extract was almost stable for three days of preservation, while it was completely lost for seven days of preservation. The concentrations of polycarbamate in the river and sea sediments sampled at Nagoya city were below the MDL.","PeriodicalId":15764,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental analytical chemistry","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80061664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Note 11 of JIS K 0102: 2016 65.2 Cr (VI) has no detailed description of the operation, so we explored an optimal operating conditions using ultrapure water. In addition, since the dominant Cr valence depends on the pH and Eh of the solution, a recovery test was performed using ultrapure water whose pH and Eh were adjusted with sodium sulfite. As the amount of sodium sulfate was added, the pH was increased while Eh was decreased, and the recovery rate of Cr (VI) was decreased, it was confirmed that pH, Eh, and reducing substance are related to the recovery rate of Cr (VI). In the Ehadjusted sample, it was confirmed that the recovery rate was improved by adding ammonia water before the addition of recovery standard solution. Based on the results of these studies, an effluent sample with a low recovery rate was subjected to aeration to adjust the Eh, and ammonia water was added first so that the pH did not become acidic during the iron coprecipitation operation. The recovery test confirmed that Eh and the recovery rate were increased with the longer aeration duration. Therefore, if the actual sample is reduced condition, an aeration treatment in addition to particle coagulation period, filtration temperature, and reagent addition sequence improves the recovery rate of Cr (VI) and makes it possible to evaluate appropriately.","PeriodicalId":15764,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental analytical chemistry","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81237306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The environmental problems due to MP contamination is attracting worldwide attention. In this study, the survey was conducted to clarify the origin of MP obtained on various beaches of Sagami Bay from the viewpoint of chemical adsorption. There was no clear difference in the amount of Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) adsorbed on various MP materials. PS foam with a large surface area adsorbed more PFCs per unit weight than resin. The amount of PFOS adsorbed on the MP collected on Kugenuma beach downstream Hikiji river, where PFOS concentration in the water sample was relatively high, was higher than that adsorbed on the MP collected from the other two beaches. The total rainfall for one month before sampling in autumn was higher than the annual average, and the amount of PFCs adsorbed on the MP in autumn was lower than that in other seasons. The amount of PFOS adsorbed on the MP was high in the river downstream from the middle of the Hikiji River. Partition coefficient (Kd) of PFOS that obtained from the elution test used the collected MP was higher than the valve by adsorption test for unused MP. Apparent Kd of PFOS by the MP on Kugenuma beach and the river water at Hujimi bridge of Hikiji river was the same order as the valve that obtained from the elution test used the collected MP. It has been clarified that the MP fragments flowed into the Hikiji river were adsorbed with PFOS and flowed down, and they were drifted to the Kugenuma beach.","PeriodicalId":15764,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental analytical chemistry","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84314534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
