A low density solvent, toluene, was selected as extraction solvent. In the extraction process, a mixture of 15 μL of toluene(extraction solvent) and 100 μL of methanol(disperser solvent) was rapidly injected into 1.0 mL of water samples. A cloudy solution was formed after ultrasounded for 5 min, and then centrifuged at 5000 r/min for 5 min. The enriched analytes in the floa- ting phase were determined by means of gas chromatograph. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factors were found to be in a range of 29--67, and the recoveries were ranged from 81.2% to 103.9%. The limits of the detection were in a range of 3.8--5.6 μg/L. The proposed method was applied to the extraction and determination of phthalate esters in bottled water samples, and the concentrations of phthalate esters found in the water samples were below the allowable levels.展开更多
