The question is related to phytoremediation experiment with diesel pollution. We have the data for changes of diesel concentration (C10-C40) in soil which we regularly analyse by GC-FID in our lab. But in this experiment we need to check also potential contamination of biomass by diesel compounds. Is there any seggested procedure for extraction, samples pretreatment etc?
Hello, Diana!
Liquid extraction, Steam//hydro/distillation, spectroscopy, gas chromatography methods, fast gas chromatography method and others. It all depends on the capabilities of your laboratory. Write me an email. We will consult.
Doctor, Professor M. V. Larionov
We have a paper in which aliphatic hydrocarbons from old mining soils have been characterized
Hope you find it useful
Hi Diana Polanská Nebeská
Through FTIR also, you can confirm the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons, FTIR gives you the idea of different functional groups such as phenols, flavonoids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatics, carboxylic acids group, and others in the plant samples, which can indicate the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons. (Attached here- Scientific reports 2021). One more article is also attached here, maybe you can find a way to do that.
All the best!
