Azaarenes and Thiaarenes

  • Chapter
PAHs and Related Compounds

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC3,volume 3 / 3I))

Abstract

The occurrence of azaarenes and thiaarenes in coal and petroleum, and in products derived from them by pyrolysis and distillation, is reviewed, including their presence in the environment from accidental spillage and leakage from transport and process plant, in soil and water from abandoned process site, in products from biomass treatment, and in air from combustion, in food from grilling and in sewage. Methods for recovery and fractionation of azaarenes and thiaarenes are discussed including solvent extraction, column chromatography and planar chromatography. Techniques for their determination include gas chromatography with specific N and S detectors and mass spectrometry, high performance liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography with mass spectrometry, and planar chromatography. Evidence is cited for the occurrence of compounds with higher molecular weight than indicated by conventional GC-MS procedures used for PAH analysis. The application of field ionisation mass spectrometry and laser desorption mass spectrometric methods are reviewed. The persistence and toxicity of azaarenes and thiaarenes in the environment are briefly discussed.
