Abstract
The conventional “acid fraction” on aqueous samples obtained by solvent extraction fails to isolate many types of organic acids and acid anions. A new anion-exchange concentration method, coupled with subsequent formation of the methyl esters of acids and gas chromatographic (GC) analysis, is used to determine the acids in several actual water samples. Chromatograms are given and results discussed for analysis of river water samples, water from a large anaerobic digestor facility and shale oil water. In some cases, acidic solutes have been identified by GC—mass spectrometry after concentration by the anion-exchange method. Neutral organic compounds can be successfully determined in the water after removal of the acidic components by anion exchange.
