In many drinking water treatment plants, the chlorination process is one of the main techniques used for the disinfection of water. This disinfecting treatment leads to the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) such as chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, chlorodibromomethane and bromoform. In this study, headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME, 85 microm carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber) technique was applied for the analysis of THMs in drinking water. The effects of experimental parameters such as kinds of SPME fiber, the volume ratio of sample to headspace, the addition of salts, magnetic stirring, extraction temperature, extraction time and desorption time on the analysis were investigated. Analytical parameters such as linearity, repeatability and limit of detection were also evaluated. The results of THMs from the survey of Seongnam (Korea) drinking water samples showed that the highest total trihalomethane and chloroform were 24.03 and 13.34 microg/l, which were well within the Korean drinking water quality standard of 100 and 80 microg/l, respectively.

Sequential extractions of contaminants from a soil or sediment have been shown to be cost-effective contaminated site assessment tools that provide information on contaminant partitioning within an environmental matrix. Such information is necessary for defining remediation alternatives and mitigation strategies. The typical sequential extraction approach involves a batch method, and known limitations include the possibility of contaminant readsorption to the remaining soil or sediment In this work, a flow-through reactor was constructed and tested for application in a sequential extraction scheme. The sequential extraction scheme used was one developed for actinide-contaminated materials. The flow-through approach gave partitioning results that were similar to the batch method for uranium. We also monitored the extraction of stable Ca, K, Fe, Al, Zr, and Sc and obtained partitioning results generally similar to those observed with the batch extraction, except for Ca. Our results indicate readsorption of Ca when using a batch approach is small but significant and is eliminated with our new flow-through method. A limitation of the flow-through method is the possibility of underextraction of certain phases and higher analytical uncertainties. These uncertainties are more difficult to minimize, as compared to the uncertainty obtained with a batch approach.
