SummarySimultaneous detection with a 700-A Hall@ and an NPD detector is an effective technique for characterizing chloro-and chloronitroanilines in highly complex Publicly Owned Water Treatment Works ( P O W sludges. The utilization of a modified Varian effluent splitter and a SE-54 fused silica capillary column permitted the detection of mid-picogram quantities of the polar chloroanilines without sacrificing peak shape. The response of the Hall @ detector in the halogen modewas roughly proportional to the number of chlorine atoms present, while the response of the Hall@ in the nitrogen mode and the NPD was less predictably influenced by the presence of one or more nitro groups. When combined with retention timedata, theratioof theNPD response to the Hall@ response has been found to substantiate the presence of chloro-and chloronitroanilines in sludge extracts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
