PERFORMANCE OF BUTYL RUBBER-BASED MACROPOROUS SORBENTS AS PASSIVE SAMPLERS

Macroporous butyl rubber (BR)-based sorbents, prepared in benzene (H-BR) or cyclohexane (L-BR) and synthesized by cryogelation, were compared with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as passive sampler materials to investigate PAH short-term absorption rates and their long-term accumulation capacities. The H-BR samplers had the highest PAH absorption capacity for all PAHs, so benzene than cyclohexane was selected as the organic solvent for further studies in the preparation of butyl rubber-based samplers.
