Exploiting The Versatility Of Ionic Liquids In Separation Science: Determination Of Low-Volatility Aliphatic Hydrocarbons And Fatty Acid Methyl Esters Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Coupled To Gas Chromatography, Yunjing Meng, Veronica Pino, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

The determination of high-molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons and fatty acid methyl esters possessing high boiling points and low vapor pressures was performed using a headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC) method comprised entirely of ionic liquids (ILs). The method utilizes three independently structurally engineered ILs in which the imparted physical and chemical properties make them compatible with the requirements of each component of the method. Component one is composed of a thermally stable IL solvent used to increase the equilibrium concentration of analytes in the HS, component two is a SPME sorbent coating based on a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) …
