ABSTRACT

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with adsorptive Carboxen/PDMS fibre is a powerful sampling device for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at trace levels in air. However, owing to competitive adsorption, quantification remains a challenging task. In this area, a theoretical model, based on Fick's laws and an extended Langmuir equation, is proposed to deal with the adsorption kinetics of acetone/toluene mixture on SPME fibre under various static extraction conditions. The semipredictive model is first used to determine the axial diffusion coefficients of analytes in the sampling device. The model is then tested with a complex VOC mixture, showing good agreement with experimental data.
