Abstract

Abstract Recoveries from an aqueous sample of the semi-volatile analytes listed on the EPA Target Compound List (TCL) are compared using 6 different methylene chloride extraction procedures. Four experimental designs incorporating a continuous extraction apparatus are evaluated, and 2 experimental designs using separatory funnel methods are tested. In addition, 2 concentration procedures are compared, and the loss of analytes associated with both extraction and concentration procedures are determined. These studies indicate that the most efficient and economical technique for the extraction of these compounds from an aqueous matrix is a single continuous extraction procedure performed at pH 2.
