Usage of Cellulose Diacetate as Sorption Material for Fluorescent Analysis of PAH

Solid-phase matrices made of cellulose diacetate (CDA) as films and fibers were prepared. The CDA film matrices were found to be characterized by a negative value of the surface potential (–32 ± 2 mV) while the fibers had positive ones (+419 ± 1 mV). The possibility of using these matrices as sorption materials for luminescence analysis of polycyclic hydrocarbons in water-ethanol and micellar media is shown. Modification of such polymeric CDA matrices with surfactants of various natures improves their sorptive capacity and hydrocarbon recovery, and increases the sensitivity of luminescent analysis.
