    Demonstration of the Technique of Pre-concentration by Solid Phase Extraction: Extraction of Alcohols from Hexane

    Solid Phase Extraction is a method by which impurities can be pre-concentrated before chemical analysis.1,2 Alcohols (butanol through octanol) were chosen to represent the polar impurities to be extracted from hexane. These were extracted onto silica gel cartridges and then recovered using methanol. To validate the procedure, the holding capacity of the alcohols were determined and then the recovery percentages determined. To optimize the detection of alcohols, the volume of the recovery solution (methanol / undecane) was minimized. This technique enables the detection limit of these alcohols to be reduced by a factor of 200.
