Abstract:
      An analytical method for simultaneous determination of four fluoroquinolones(FQs) in biogas slurry based on solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detection(HPLC/FLD) was developed in this study. The homogenized sample adjusted to pH=4 was extracted with Na2EDTA solution, purified by Oasis HLB solid phase extraction after vortexing, and eluted with 6 mL methanol solvent. The FQs in the extract were determined by HPLC/FLD with acetonitrile and 0.01 mol·L-1 tetrabutylammonium bromide as mobile phases. Quantitation was carried out using an external standard method. The standard curves for all the compounds were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.002 mg·L-1 to 5.0 mg·L-1 with all correlation coefficients above 0.990. The spiked recoveries at six levels of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg·L-1 and 5.0 mg·L-1 were ranged from 80.4% to 105.7%, and the relatives standard deviations(RSD) were in the ranges of 1.0% to 5.1%. The limits of detection were from 0.004 mg·L-1 to 0.01 mg·L-1. This method was used to analyze four FQs in biogas slurry samples fermented with chicken dung, pig dung, and cow dung collected from 3 large and medium-sized biogas projects in Nanjing. Four FQs were detected in all samples, with concentrations ranging from 5 μg·L-1 to 204 μg·L-1, four kinds of FQs were detected. Therefore, antibiotic pollution problems in biogas slurry deserve attention.
