Monitoring of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Water: 1. Extraction and Recovery of Benzo(a)Pyrene with Porous Polyurethane Foam

Concentration of trace quantities of benzo(A)pyrene from water with flexible polyurethane foam plug is studied. Recovery is independent of flow rates over a wide range, but increases to a great extent with increase in water temperature. Other factors influencing benzo(A)pyrene retention are: ph, dia...

Description
Summary:Concentration of trace quantities of benzo(A)pyrene from water with flexible polyurethane foam plug is studied. Recovery is independent of flow rates over a wide range, but increases to a great extent with increase in water temperature. Other factors influencing benzo(A)pyrene retention are: ph, diameter of the column used for holding plugs, and coating of foam plugs with chromatographic phases.
