International audience. In this work a fast analytical method for the determination of macrolides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones in a compost originating from a mixture of sewage sludge, palm waste and grass was developed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (U-HPLC/MS). Antibiotics were extracted from compost by using the accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). The chromatographic separation was carried out on a T3 Cortecs C18 column using a mobile phase gradient mixture of water acidified with 1% of formic acid and acetonitrile. Recoveries of 24–30%, 53–93%, 33–57%, 69–135% and 100–171% were obtained for roxithromycin (ROX), chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), enrofloxacin (ENR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), respectively. As the most part of antibiotics showed significant matrix effect (ME), the method was validated using the standard addition method (SAM) to correct the observed ME. Instrumental variation, of LC/MS system, showed that 93.75% of the relative standard deviation (RSD %) are below 15%, although the organic load of extracts. This analytical method was applied to assess the fate of antibiotics during composting. Two composting experiments were conducted separately after spiking sludge at 2 different concentrations levels. The resulting elimination rates were of 52–76, 69–100, 100 and 24–50% for ROX, CTC, OTC and CIP, respectively. These results suggest that composting process contributes to the removal of residuals concentrations of macrolides and tetracyclines while the fluoroquinolones persist in the final compost product.
