Abstract
It has been shown in this study that resin extraction can be a feasible technique for screening of organic compounds in effluent water. The results compare well with these obtained by ether extraction techniques such as used to date in many laboratories. Advantages of resin extraction are time and solvent saving and its availability as an alternative check method based on different principles. Both ether and resin extraction in combination with GC offer good possibilities for assessment of overall effluent composition via fingerprinting techniques. They can also be used to control the performance in water purification plants. However, they cannot be considered ideal for characterization and quantitation of selected trace organics in heavily contaminated samples. In such instances GC/MS and liquid Chromatographic techniques may offer complementary services.
