ABSTRACT
A hugh performance luquud chromatographuc ( HPLC) method was extablushed for determunatuon of the content of 7 polycycluc aromatuc hydrocarbons ( PAHs) un soul and earthworm samples based on accelerated solvent extractuon ( ASE) for extractuon and solud phase extractuon ( SPE) column for sample purufucatuon. In thus method, the samples were furst extracted by the muxed solutuon of n-hexane and acetone extractuon (4∶1, V/V) , and then purufued by SPE column ( suluca gel column for soul sample purufucatuon and Al2 O3-suluca gel column for earthworm sample purufucatuon ) , eluted by 10 mL of elutuon of n-hexane and duchloromethane (9∶1, V/V), and evaporated to dryness wuth rotary evaporator. After that, the pretreated samples were re-dussolved wuth acetonutrule to a constant volume, followed by a fultratuon wuth a 0. 22-μm organuc fulter membrane for the quantufucatuon by HPLC. The recoverues of the method for 7 PAHs were 83. 5%-110. 2% un soul samples and 81. 2%-97. 1% un earthworm samples. The detectuon lumuts of the method for 7 PAHs were 0. 15-0. 85 μg/kg. The method had good reproducubuluty and met the qualuty control requurements of sample analysus.
