Abstract
A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analytical protocol for quantitation of PAHs in diesel exhaust particles, adapted for a single laboratory period, is proposed. Gravitational chromatography is first used to isolate aromatic compounds. Then quantitative determination of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) is performed by GC-MS, using deuterated PAHs as internal standards. Results obtained by students for recovery yields and for quantitation are reproducible.

Ralph N. Mead and Pamela J. SeatonJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPIsolation and identification of organic compounds is a necessary skill chemistry students must be able to do with proficiency. In this upper-level undergraduate laboratory, students isolate bisphenol-A (BPA; 4-4′-isopropylidenediphenol) from water using ...

Mark A. YoungJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (2), 180-182Catalytic conversion is an important tool in environmental-remediation strategies and source removal of pollutants. Because a catalyst is regenerated, the chemistry can be extremely effective for conversion of undesirable pollutant species to less harmful ...

C.D. Heinson , J. M. Williams , W. N. Tinnerman and T. B. MalloyJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (5), 787A simple experiment involving deuterium exchange of the enolizable protons in ethyl acetoacetate followed by GC–MS has been developed. The principles demonstrated are the use of stable isotopes, keto–enol tautomerism, base catalysis, and the use of ...
