Abstract:A well-reproducible method to concentrate and determine Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority pollutant phenols from soils is developed. Alkaline extraction with 0.1 M NaOH of the phenolic compounds from soil with a high organic content is followed by their concentration in a highly cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene sorbent (Bakerbond SDB-1) and HPLC-UV analysis. Detection limits ranged from 13 to 64 mg kg À1 . The effect of the amount of soil and analyte concentration is evaluated and quantitat… Show more
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.
