MS Application • Environmental Issue: • Presence of bioloigcally-active compounds (pharmaceuticals…) that are not degraded in a wastewater treatment plant • Compound of interest is trimethoprim, an anti-microbial used to treat infectious diseases in humans • Analytical - want to analyze for trimethoprim • LC/GC? • Ionization source? LC – why? ESI – why? • Hypothesis • Primary treatment of wastewater with nitrifying activated sludge will degrade trimethoprim
MS Application • Hypothesis • Primary treatment of wastewater with nitrifying activated sludge will degrade trimethoprim • Experiment • Small scale laboratory batch reactor was used to degrade trimethoprim • LC-ESI coupled to a single quadrupole MS to determine the unit mass of degradation products • LC-ESI coupled to an ion trap MS to determine structural features of the degradation products • LC-ESI coupled to a quadrupole time of flight MS to determine the accurate mass of the degradation products to get a chemical formula
