The use of adsorbents such as Tenax GC and Carbopack B for the enrichment of water samples prior to the analysis of theirchloropesticide content has been described in several reports and papers (2-5). Pesticide extraction from soil samples usingelution with appropriate solvent mixtures has also been reported (6). Such methods show some advantages both on the usual solvent extraction using a separatory funnel for waterand on Soxhlet extraction for soil. In this paper a detailed investigation on the possibilities of using chromatographic techniques for the extraction of pesticides from water and soil samples is reported. It has to be noted that, although the principles governing the adsorption and extraction process in water analysis andthe extraction in soil analysis are the same as those that govern liquid-solid chromatography, the main feature of a chromatographic column, ie, separation efficiency, is almost completely absent. Thus, the “columns” used for the extraction should be regarded rather as an extraction apparatus than actual chromatographic columns. For water analysis, a short column is packed with Carbopack B, a very well-known graphitized carbon black. This has its main application as a solid support for gas-liquid-solid chromatography (7). This material is also used to make traps for sample enrichment in airpollution analysis (8).Water is allowed to pass through the Carbopack B column and the compounds of interest are adsorbed on the graphitized surface. Afterward, an appropriate solvent mixture is intro-duced into thecolumn, to elute the pesticides from the gra-phitized carbon black. For soil analysis, a column is packed with soil according to the procedure described later. The soil behaves as an adsorbent that retains pesticides on its surface. These are eluted by a solvent mixture, that should be chosen for appropriate polarity characteristics. The two elution processes differ in the nature of the ad-sorbents and also in the story of the adsorption process. In fact, pesticides might havebeen spread over the soil several years before the analysis. The successive action of watering modifies the original adsorption energy distribution, making available deeper and stronger adsorption sites in the structure of the material. Several solvents or solvent mixtures have been tested in order to find the one with the best extracting power for the highest number of compounds. The pesticides investigated are structurally complex. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Preparation of Extraction Columns. For water analysis Carbopack B (Supelco Inc. Bellefonte, PA) previously sieved to 60-80 mesh was extracted by Soxhlet for 6 h with a petroleum ether-toluene 2: 1 solution and then dried and packed gently in a glass column of 1 cm id X 15 cm. One gram of Carbopack B was used. Two glass wool plugs kept the adsorbent in place. The upper part of the column was connected via a ground glass joint to a separatory funnel containing the water to be analyzed. A
