This presentation is focused on :
a preview about the preconcentration /enrichment, determination and removal of various organic pollutants by solid phase extractionusing natural material (e.g. agriculture waste)

Common sources of organic pollutants in our environment
Industrial effluents
Pesticides applications
Municipal discharge
Power plants
Oil spillage

Environmental trace organic analysis
Several problem were encountered in theorganic micropollutants, where the analysishad to face many different compoundso c c u r r i n g a t t r a c e c o n c e n t r a t i o n s .
Therefore, the need of a reliable data onoccurrence of such micropollutants in theenvironment was an important driving forceini t iat ing the development of modernanalytical techniques e.g. SPE and procedure.

Solid Phase extraction
Adsorption � a surface phenomenon
Retention of ions / molecules on thesurface due to certain physical andchemical attractive forces. The surfaceinclude the outside of the adsorbent aswell as pores in high surface area perunit volume.

Adsorbent
Adsorbate
Removal of bound material is called desorption i.e. opposite of adsorption
Selective solute binding

SPE - an increasingly popular technique in comparison to the classical solvent �solvent extraction because of :
high enrichment factor, high recovery, rapid phase separation, low cost, low consumption of organic solvents the ability of combination with other
detection techniques in the form of on-line or off-line mode.

Proposed Mechanism of Sorption
� The sorption mechanism may be deduced from the involvement ofdifferent functional groups present on the sorbents surfaces such as−OH, NH2 metal oxides (via ash content i.e. Si−O−Si) and fibrecarbonaceous CxOH. These functional groups may be dissociated atdifferent pH values as per their acidic dissociation constants andconsequently take part in surface complexation / exchange of sorbatespecies.
� The surfaces are expected to be negatively charged, which mayfacilitate the sorption of positively charged species at low pH ontothese active groups via surface complexation.

Conclusion
Adsorption of trace organics on solid surface from the aqueous solutions present the most wide spread use of natural material. The use of agriculture waste also add on to the Green Chemistry.
Molecular size, molecular structure, steric form of sorbatealso influences the sorption. More soluble a substance is inwater; its low sorption is likely to occur on the sorbentsurface e.g. phenol as compared to nitrophenol.
The equilibrium uptake and adsorption yield were highestfor the treated materials, which was expected, because ofthe greater specific surface area and the microporousstructure of treated materials as compared with untreatedmaterials.

The results of surface characterization indicate thatrice bran, rice husk, and Moringa oleifera pods arecomposed of substantial amount of cellulose,hemicellulose, lignin and protein besides ash. Theseactive sites may display different affinities for varioussorbed species.
Therefore, the quantity and nature of active sites inthe cells of such biomaterials may be a major factorin the binding behavior of sorbed species at a givenpH in sorptive solution. The lignin content mayincrease the sorption of organics on the sorbentssurfaces of botanical origin.
