The proposed method determines the real baseline (i.e. baseline modeling) directly on the chromatographic plot of each analyzed sample and then substrate it to the analytical time series signals of the chromatogram, so reducing instrumental noise and then improving analytical accuracy. The proposed algorithm, based on a polynomial fitting estimation of the baseline, has been applied to the GC analysis of the hydrocarbon content in marine sediments The Published Authors.

Introduction Chromatographic techniques are widely diffused in all the applications of environmental monitoring due to the possibility of analyzing complex matter samples in automated way. However in some specific analytical cases such as those related to the gas chromatographic determination of the hydrocarbon content in marine sediments, an evident baseline drift is still present even after the blank (i.e. solvent) subtraction (Fig. 1). That is because the baseline drift is a random effect depending on several casual and not reproducible variables Corresponding author.

2 Mauro Mecozzi / APCBEE Procedia 10 (2014 ) which can produce k-different baseline shapes in k-sequential chromatographic analysis [1]. So the blank subtraction procedure could not be reliable to solve the baseline drift problems and to allow the accurate quantification of the chromatographic peaks. For this reason, many papers propose different methods of signal processing for modeling and then correcting baseline drifts in chromatographic analysis [1-4]. In this paper, we propose a curve fitting method for baseline correction. This method consists of modeling the baseline by means of a polynomial curve where the identification of the optimized polynomial grade is performed by the F-Snedekor test [5]. The method has been tested for the GC analysis of total hydrocarbon content in marine sediments by means of a previous method [6]. 2.7 Signal Intensity (mv) Retention Time (min) Fig. 1. Example of an evident baseline drift in the GC analysis of hydrocarbons in a marine sediment sample, already submitted to blank subtraction. Each couple of arrows show a time range where the absence of significant peaks makes it suitable for baseline estimation 2. Basic theory of the proposed algorithm The chromatographic plot of a baseline consists of a z-number of y j, x j values; y and x are the signal intensity and the acquisition (i.e. retention) time respectively with 1 < j < z. The y signals represent a continuous and derivable series in the x 1 -x z time range and according to these characteristics the y = f(x) relationship can be described according to the Taylor series [7] as z y = (x-x o ) k f (k) (x o )/k! + R z (x) (1) k=0 where x j x o x z, f (k) is the order of the derivative of the f(x) function, n is the polynomial degree and R z (x) are the residuals (i.e. differences) among the original f(x) values and the f(x) values determined according to Eq. 1. So, on the basis of Eq.1 we can suppose the existence of a polynomial relationship between y and x y = a 1 *x j + a 2 *x j 2 + a 3 * x j a n * x j n + a o 1 < j < i (2)
3 4 Mauro Mecozzi / APCBEE Procedia 10 ( 2014 ) 2 6 We applied this function to describe the y vs. x relationship of a baseline plot where peaks are absent. (Fig.1) and the first step of the algorithm is the selection of the i-number of y, x couples to be considered for baseline estimation by means of the above Eq. 2. After selecting and collecting all these y i, x i couples in a new y, x data file, we can submit it to the polynomial regression analysis, according to Eq. 2. For the selection of the optimal n-order polynomial order, we can use the F-Snedekor test [5]. This test consists of the ratio between the root square mean value of the k th and the k th+1 polynomial order. When this ratio tends to a minimal value so that the F value is 1, we can identify the optimized polynomial grade for the estimation of a reliable baseline. As i < z, in the final step of this procedure we recalculate the total z-signal intensities of the y b baseline signals according to y b = a 1 *x j + a 2 *x j 2 + a 3 * x j a n * x j n + a o 1 < j < z (3) where a o, a 1, a 2, a n are the coefficients previously determined by Eq.2. This equation is analogous to the Eq. 2 but here, with the x terms we include and consider all the z-acquisition times to have the full baseline modelling. At last, the y b series determined by Eq.3 have to be subtracted to the original y-signal intensities of the chromatogram to perform the baseline drift correction. This operation is called detrending [8, 9] because it minimizes the non constant and curvilinear trend present in the baseline drift (Figs. 2 and 3). It is obvious that the higher is the number of the y i, x i couples selected for the baseline estimation (according to Fig.1 and Eq.2), the more accurate is the baseline modelling and then the resulting baseline drift correction. 3. Methods and materials The determination of hydrocarbons in marine sediments, including hydrocarbon extraction, purification and GC determination was performed according a previous paper [6]. Chromatograms were saved as ASCII files for the submission to the above baseline correction procedure according to an in house Matlab (MatWork, Inc, MA, USA) routine. 4. Results and discussion Figs. 2 and 3 report an example of the proposed baseline correction method. In Fig. 2 we can see that fourth (left plot) and sixth (right plot) order polynomial curves are reliable for baseline estimation because they match quite well the zone of the chromatographic plot where significant peaks are absent. In any case, the identification of the optimal order grade is not visual or random operation because it is supported by applying the F-Snedekor test. Fig. 3 shows the final chromatographic plot after subtraction of the baseline determined according to Eqs. 2 and 3. We have to observe that in the final chromatographic plots, most peaks have their starting signals close to zero. Obviously we can also point out that the examples of Fig. 2 concerning the identification of the optimal polynomial grade are not a general rule because more complex baselines can require higher polynomial order functions. These cases not reported here for the sake of brevity. This is further evidence of the random characteristics of a baseline drift, always related to the applied experimental conditions [1-3].

Baseline correct (grey) chromatogram compared with the original (black) chromatograms after subtraction of a fourth (left) and a six (right) order polynomial function for baseline modeling ( see Eqs. 2 and 3). The main advantage of the proposed method consists of the improved analytical accuracy of the quantitative peak are determinations. In fact, when we compare the signal to noise (S/N) ratios among chromatograms submitted to the conventional blank subtraction treatment and chromatograms submitted to
5 6 Mauro Mecozzi / APCBEE Procedia 10 ( 2014 ) 2 6 the baseline drift correction, we can observe a significant enhancement of this value. Table 1 reports some examples of the improved (i.e. enhancement) signal to noise ratios after baseline drift correction. Table 1.
