Abstract

An immunoaffinity chromatography column was developed to remove diazinon from water and soil samples. In this paper, two types of absorbent columns, the immunoaffinity chromatography column and the ENVI-Carb column, were compared. To accomplish this, each of these columns was used to treat water and soil samples that had been spiked with diazinon at concentrations of 2.5 or 5 ng/mL (or ng/g). High performance liquid chromatography was then used to analyze the treated samples. The ENVI-Carb column recovered 87.99%–95.95% of the diazinon from water and soil with CVs of 5.08%–8.06%. The recoveries observed when the immunoaffinity chromatography column was used were slightly lower (52.61%–81.58%); however, it effectively clean up the soil samples.
