چکیده

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), often referred to as dioctyl phthalate or DOP, is the most widely used plasticizer for vinyl plastics, and approximately 350 million pounds were produced in the United States during 1970. Altogether the production of phthalate ester plasticizers was 855 million pounds (1). The cumulative production of DEHP and related phthalate plasticizers in the United States since 1943 is in excess of 8000 million pounds (2). DEPH is an external plasticizer which softens resins without reacting with them chemically, and it may be present in concentrations up to 40% of the weight of the plastic as in the familiar laboratory tubing. As a result of the large production and wide distribution and destruction of plastics, DEHP has become uniquitous and has been found in milk (3), deep frying fat (4), and human blood plasma (5). DEHP has also begun to appear as a micropollutant in the tissues of a variety of organisms. Taborsky (6) isolated it from bovine pineal glands, and Nazir et al. (7) found it in mitochondria from the hearts of cattle, dogs, rabbit, and rat. DEHP has been

Investigation of Di-ethylhexyl Phthalate Migration by Applying Magnetic Solid Phase Extraction Method Followed by GC-FID Determination

Background and Objectives: The addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. The most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. The aim of this study is application of magn...

Selective Extraction and Determination of Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate in Aqueous Solution by HPLC Coupled with Molecularly Imprinted Solid-phase Extraction

Surface Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (SMIP) for selective adsorption of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP) was prepared on the surface of silica gel which was modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane and acryloyl chloride in a two-step method. The prepared SMIP was used to prepare Molecularly Imprinted Solid-Phase Extraction (MISPE) column for selective extraction of DEHP from aqueous solution...
