Abstract
We developed a CZE method for simultaneous determination of pyridine-triphenylborane (PTPB) anti-fouling agent and its degradation products such as diphenylborinic acid (DPB), phenylboronic acid (MPB), and phenol in artificial seawater (ASW) with no extraction procedure. The ASW samples, in which 20 % (v/v) acetonitrile was added, were injected directly into the capillary using vacuum injection. As the background electrolyte, 60 mM sodium tetraborate adjusted to pH 9.8 was used. The LODs (S/N = 3) for PTPB, DPB, MPB, and phenol were, respectively, 55, 78, 126, and 30 μg L−1. The RSDs (n = 4) for analytes listed above were in the respective ranges of 2.7–5.7, 0.68–6.1, and 0.69–1.1 % for the peak area, peak height, and migration time. Simple degradation experiments were conducted to verify the usefulness of the proposed method. The PTPB samples dissolved in ASW were put in the open air, and rooms with and without light. The sample solutions were analyzed over time. We inferred that PTPB in ASW was more degraded by photolysis than by hydrolysis. The proposed CZE method has been demonstrated as a useful tool to elucidate the PTPB degradation process and its degradation products in ASW.
