Abstract
Abstract
Porous graphitic carbon (PGC) is a widely used stationary phase for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that allows separation of structurally similar compounds retained in mixed form on a flat graphite surface. Such a stationary phase can be used in analytical chemistry to provide good separation and selectivity in pesticide monitoring. In this article, we studied the chromatographic behavior of five common triazine herbicides (simazine, atrazine, desmetryn, propazine, prometryn) on PGC vis-à-vis octadecyl-functionalized silica gel (ODS). It was found that the herbicides studied have an abnormal elution order on PGC compared to ODS. PGC was also characterized by higher selectivity of analyte separation. This behavior of triazine herbicides on PGC cannot be explained either with the help of existing theory or by mathematical modeling of adsorption processes on graphite. Therefore, we have proposed a possible retention mechanism, explaining the effects observed, due to the shielding of the amino group in the triazine ring by alkyl substituents, which decreases the “polar retention effect” of PGC. Satisfactory separation efficacy was obtained with the proposed analytical method, using convenient UV-detection and without resort to laborious techniques such as HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry.
