| Research Abstract |
The objectives of this project include (1) the development of a photolysis method of dioxins and PCBs in aqueous waste, (2) the development of a high selectivity separation method of dioxin isomers and PCB congeners by HPLC,and (3) the development of a novel pseudo-stationary phase for the high-speed and high-selectivity EKC separation of environmental contaminants, namely hydrophobic hydrocarbons and halogenated aromatic compounds.
(1) PCBs were successfully adsorbed from aqueous solution onto the hydrophobic stationary phase packed in a quartz column, the photolyzed by the irradiation with ultra-violet light from outside the column. All the PCBs can be completely photolyzed in a few hours in a stream of 2-propanol-water mixtures, while only hydrophilic products leaving the column. The photolysis of more toxic, coplanar PCBs were slower than ortho-substituted PCBs. The rapid photo-decomposition of less toxic, ortho-substituted PCBs, however, preferentially produced more toxic coplanar

PCBs as an intermediate, which can potentially provide serious environmental problems, if similar photolysis occurs under sunlight.
(2) The separation of all the dioxin isomers coproduced during the synthesis of reference standard and the group separation between coplanar and ortho-substituted PCBs were achieved by using various electron-donor and electron-acceptor bonded stationary phases based on silica gel for HPLC in an unmixed organic solvent. This allows the easy recycle of the organic solvent in preparative operation.
(3) Pseudo-stationary phases were prepared by using starburst dendrimers and polyallylamine as supports by alkylation and the attachment of carboxylate groups. The pseudo-stationary phases for EKC,especially those with long alkyl chains, showed very high performance in water-methanol or water-acetonitrile mixtures to result in the complete separation of 16 priority pollutant polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in less than 20 minutes.
The results suggest that the photolysis of PCBs already released to the environment is potentially very dangerous to living species, assuming a similar photo-decomposition under sunlight, and that the control and proper disposal of remaining PCBs are very important. The results also suggest that it is important to develop a more selective, sensitive, and rapid analysis method of these environmental pollutants that needs minimum labor for the treatment of biological samples.
