Use of Coupled Columns for the Capillary Gas Chromatographic Separation of Water Pollutants

摘要

Among the synthetic organic chemicals being found in both surface and groundwater are priority pollutants and other synthetic organic chemicals being considered for inclusion in the revised primary drinking water regulations. Methods employing gas chromatography have been developed to analyze some of these compounds. The paper discusses the coupling of dissimilar fused silica capillary columns to achieve rapid separation of 18 volatile halogenated organic compounds.
