| Abstract | The main challenge in the mass spectrometric analysis of fullerenes in complex matrices is to prove unambiguously their presence or absence. Usually, this can be done by fragmentation, but due to the atmospheric interface and solvents commonly used, complex adduct formation will hinder quantification and qualification by distorting the isotopic cluster. In the present study, contrary to other methods in the literature, a 100% toluene isocratic mobile phase is used, employing an atmospheric pressure photoionisation (APPI) interface. In this manner, the adducts that are formed when methanol is present in the system are almost completely eliminated, thus avoiding higher than expected abundance for the isotopic cluster ions. The expected relative abundance of the isotopic clusters correlates well with the ones observed and was shown to be an effective tool for qualifying the presence of fullerenes even at low concentrations. For the analysis of suspended matter for the presence of fullerenes in sewage water, an optimised procedure was proposed. Filters with different mesh sizes (8.0, 0.7 and 0.45 μm) were used and the filtrate was analysed by means of solid phase extraction. For a 100 mL influent wastewater sample, limits of quantitation for the functionalised fullerenes were between 0.22 and 0.28 ng L−1 and for the pristine fullerenes between 0.7 and 1.4 ng L−1. The method used to analyse sewage water from six different wastewater treatment plants proved to be highly sensitive, able to unambiguously identify and quantify C60 in sewage water. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
