| Sumario: | The main objective of this thesis was to synthesise and apply new polymeric sorbents to obtain good recoveries in the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of organic polar pollutants in real water samples. The synthesised sorbents were used in SPE on-line coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography in order to establish analytical methods which can determine these pollutants in tap and river water samples.<br/><br/>These synthesised sorbents were several chemically modified polymeric sorbents obtained by introducing different polar functional groups in the chemical structure of a polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin. Thus, the surface of these polymers was more hydrophilic and the polar compounds could be more strongly retained in these sorbents than in the unmodified resin and other commercially available sorbents. Nevertheless, the increase in the capacity of retention of the chemically modified sorbents also implied that more interferences from the matrix were retained, such as humic substances. These substances appear in the chromatograms as an initial broad band which hampers the determination of the more polar analytes. For this reason, a method based on the addition of sodium sulphite to the sample was developed to decrease this matrix interference.<br/><br/>The synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers was also studied. These polymers were prepared using 4-nitrophenol as the template and the non-covalent method, and allowed 4-nitrophenol to be selectively extracted from real water samples. It was also demonstrated the possibility to use these polymers as sorbents in the SPE on-line coupled to liquid chromatography. |
