Abstract
The efficiency of a glass-ceramic rod as a base for the preparation of SPME fibers using sol-gel technology was investigated. Glass-ceramic rod was coated with PDMS using sol-gel reaction, and its surface characteristic was determined for SEM. Optimum conditions for the preparation of the fiber are presented. The same procedure was used for coating the fused silica rod. The fibers thickness and absorption capacity were compared. The proposed fiber was used for the extraction of a mixture of BTEX, from aqueous samples. The results obtained proved the superiority of glass-ceramic as a new base for SPME fiber, resulting in a thickness of ~44 μm against ∼6 μm for fused silica base. The calibration graphs for BTEX were linear (r > 0.998) and the detection limits were below 0.8 μg L−1.
