title: [Simultaneous determination of the migrations of bisphenol A and phenol in polycarbonate bottles based on subcritical water extraction and high performance liquid chromatography].
abstract: A new method was established for the simultaneous determination of the migration amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) and phenol from polycarbonate (PC) bottles based on subcritical water extraction (SWE) and high performance liquid chromatography. The optimum extraction conditions included an extraction temperature of 120 degree C, a pressure of 6.89 MPa (1000 psi), a static extraction time of 1 h and one cycle. Under the conditions, the migration amounts of the BPA ranged from 6.81 to 1116 micro g/g in 11 samples. Phenol was not detectable in 5 samples, and in other ones the migration amounts of phenol varied in the range of 3.25 -6. 08 micro g/g. The traditional soaking extraction experiments showed that PC was subjected to weak hydrolysis after long-time leaching. The BPA and phenol were separated in 8 min. Good linearities were obtained in the range of 0. 05 - 20 mg/L for BPA and 0.02 - 20 mg/L for phenol ( r > 0.999 7). The limits of detection were 7.6 micro g/L for BPA and 2.0 micro g/L for phenol. Intra-day and inter-day repeatabilities (expressed as RSD) were less than 5.21% and 11.63%, respectively. Compared with traditional water soaking extraction, the extraction efficiencies increased 49 - 106 times using this developed SWE method. The procedure is simple, rapid and environment friendly, and can be utilized to determine the migration amounts of BPA and phenol in PC bottles.
