RESUMO
Separation and on-line concentration of bisphenol A and three alkylphenols were investigated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate. The separation conditions were optimized by the simultaneous addition of the organic solvent and cyclodextrin to the running solution. The separation of hydrophobic analytes and 4-nonylphenol isomers was improved by the addition of 10% methanol and 5 mM beta-cyclodextrin to the running solution. When the sweeping with the running solution was used as the on-line concentration procedure, 69-, 48-, 55- and 41-fold increases in detection sensitivity were obtained for bisphenol A, 4-tert.-butylphenol and 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, and the second peak of 4-nonylphenol isomers, respectively. The detection limits were 0.0071, 0.0065, 0.021 and 0.055 mg/l, respectively. These results were better than those with the cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide.

The separation and on-line concentration of bisphenol A and three alkylphenols were investigated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with cationic surfactant. Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide was used as surfactant and the separation conditions were optimized by the addition of the organic solvents and cyclodextrins to the running solution. The separation of hydrophobic analytes and 4-nonylphenol isomers was improved by the addition of 20% acetonitrile and 20 mM beta-cyclodextrin to the running solution. When the sweeping with the running solution used as the on-line concentration procedure, 56-, 67- and 29-fold increase in detection sensitivity of bisphenol A, 4-tert.-butylphenol and 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, respectively. The detection limits were 0.030, 0.098 and 0.159 mg/l, respectively.
