Ultrasonic extraction ofnbinding gels in methanol provided reliable recoveries for all testednOPFRs. Diffusion coefficients of TCEP, TCPP, TDCPP, TPrP, TBP, andnTBEP in the agarose diffusive gel (25 °C) were obtained. Thencapacity of an HLB binding gel for OPFRs was >115 μg perndisc,nand the binding performance did not deteriorate with time up to 131ndays. DGT performance is independent of typical environmental rangesnof pH (3.12–9.71), ionic strength (0.1–500 mmol L<sup>–1</sup>), and dissolved organic matter (0–20 mg L<sup>–1</sup>), and also of diffusive layer thickness (0.64–2.14nmm) and deployment time (3–168 h). Negligible competition effectsnbetween OPFRs was found. DGT-measured concentrations of OPFRs in anwastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent (12–16 days) werencomparable to those obtained by grab sampling, further verifying DGT’snreliability for measuring OPFRs in waters.","PeriodicalId":521682,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
