EVALUATION OF TWO SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION PROCEDURES FOR THE PRECONCENTRATION OF CHLOROPHENOLS IN DRINKING WATER

摘要

Two off-line concentration procedures for the determination of sixteen chlorophenols in drinking water were developed. One involves acetylation of the samples and their subsequent preconcentration over graphitized carbon black cartridges. In the other, chlorophenols are derivatized following preconcentration over cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene. The two proposed procedures are compared in terms of chlorophenol recoveries, throughput and breakthrough volume of the cartridges, The acetylated derivatives of chlorophenols are determined highly selectively at the concentration levels established by international legislation using gas chromatography in combination with microwave induced plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.
