Monitoring of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in water. I. Extraction and recovery of benzo(a)pyrene with porous polyurethane foam

The recovery of trace amounts of benzopyrene from water using flexible polyurethane foam plugs was investigated. Increase in temperature had the greatest effect on recovery, which was independent of flow rate. The optimal conditions for benzopyrene removal from tap and raw water by foam plugs were d...
