Extraction and Recovery of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Highly Sorptive Matrices Such as Fly Ash

摘要

The highly sorptive nature of some potentially environmentally significant materials such as fly ash may seriously hinder quantitative extraction of their sorbed organic content. Radiolabeled tracers offer a convenient means of probing the sorptive nature of such matrices and of obtaining the corrections for extraction and handling recoveries which are necessary to quantitative analysis.
