Abstract
The aim of our research was to develop a chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of five substances used as disinfectant agents. Biphenyl-2-ol (BPh), chloramine T (ChT), 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (4C3MPh), triclosan (TCS), and triclocarban (TCC) were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on a Develosil RP Aqueous AR-5 RP-30 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0 µm particles) with gradient elution of mobile phase including methanol and water, and with a DAD detector. Satisfactory resolution of the determined substances was obtained in 10 minutes. The linearity ranges of the calibration curves (in matrix) of examined disinfectants ranged from 0.10 to 10.00 µg·mL -1 for ChT, 4C3MPh and TCC, and from 0.25 to 10.00 µg·mL -1 for BPh and TCS. The developed method was applied to determine of mentioned compounds in water samples.
