Abstract:
Recently an innovative, patent pending reactor system based on the PBET method [1] (LABQA-RSGB), which simulates the human gastrointestinal tract, was developed and metal bioaccessibility was evaluated for mining waste solid samples [2]. Results obtained with this system are on par with those of US EPAs equipment from SW-846 Test Method 1340 [3].
The LABQA-RSGB system simulates stomach and small bowel conditions, while allowing for monitoring, pH adjustments and development of kinetic studies without interrupting the process nor altering the reactors’ temperature.
The current paper describes the improvements carried out on the LABQA-RSGB, in order to minimize systematic errors and potential sources of cross contamination, as well as allow design and reactor operation optimization [4]. Results of the bioaccessible fraction extracted with the new equipment (LABQA-SRSGB) were compared with those of the original LABQA-RSGB and US EPA equipments, using a reference material, internal controls and samples.
Coupled with continuous and simultaneous monitoring of pH, temperature and stirring within each reactor, the enhancements implemented in the LABQA-RSGB provide reliable results for various potentially toxic elements in different matrices.
