The extraction and infrared identification of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) from aqueous solutions

The chemical analysis of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in most forensic laboratories is complicated by the highly polar nature of the GHB molecule, which makes it unsuitable for direct analysis by gas chromatography (GC). Consequently, a popular analytical approach is to convert GHB into the corresponding lactone or a derivative compound that is then identified by mass spectrometry employed in conjunction with GC (GC/MS). An alternative approach is presented here where GHB may be isolated as a free acid specie from complex aqueous solutions employing a liquid-liquid extraction technique. This approach can yield a relatively pure residue of GHB that presents an infrared transmission spectrum that is sufficiently distinct for identification purposes. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a very popular technique that is available to most crime laboratories. The liquid-liquid extraction behavior of GHB is examined in detail and the uniqueness of the infrared spectrum is discussed.

Extraction of lambda-cyhalothrin from aqueous dioxan solutions

The results of extraction of lambda-cigalotrin from dioxan aqueous solutions by hydrophobic organic solvents are presented. It is shown that the degree of extraction depends on the nature of the extractant, the water to dioxan ratio, and saturation of the water-dioxan layer with the electrolyte. The highest efficiency of lambda-cigalotrin extraction was achieved using chlorophorm as a solvent under desalination conditions.

Optimal conditions for extraction of "caffetin" and "saridon" tablet components from aqueous solutions

Using a mathematical method of experiment planning (Latin square), the authors suggest the optimal conditions for extraction of propifenasone and paracetamol, the basic components of caffeine and saridon tablets, from water solutions: extraction with ethylacetate (pH 2) for 5 min in the presence of an electrolyte (sodium chloride or ammonium sulfate) quantum satis. The possibility of extraction of caffeine and codeine under these conditions was tested. When extracting the components of caffeine and saridon tablets, paracetamol, propifenasone, and caffeine should be extracted with ethylacetate at pH 2 and codeine by chloroform at pH 10.

Solid phase micro extraction coupled with on-column GC/ECD for the post-blast analysis of organic explosives

Gas chromatographic analysis with electron capture detection is very sensitive to post-blast residues and useful for the determination of organic explosive molecules. But many compounds extracted from the matrices may interfere with the explosives. Using SPME, most interfering compounds are eliminated so the identification is easier. Another advantage of the technique is a low limit of detection. In this study, four different SPME fibers were tested to analyze the most common encountered organic explosives including nitro aromatics, nitramines and nitro-esters. Different parameters were tested (desorption time, agitation, ...) and a special device has been created to optimize the agitation. Direct desorption effect of the SPME fiber on the column compared to normal split-splitless injection is shown. In this way, the degradation of the most sensitive molecules is decreased. An application to a real case is also described in this paper.
