Abstract
The review shows prospects of the use of subcritical water instead of organic solvents and aqueous–organic mixtures at different stages of analysis. Subcritical water was applied to the extraction of target compounds from natural samples, such as soils, sand, and plant raw materials. The use of subcritical water expands possibilities of HPLC. The use of subcritical water as an eluent in HPLC is complicated by the possible destruction of the adsorbent and the decomposition of substances to be determined at elevated temperatures. Adsorbents based on zirconium and titanium oxides, some polymeric adsorbents, and porous graphitized carbon are stable in the medium of subcritical water. Subcritical water can be used at several stages of analysis, for example, for the extraction and subsequent chromatographic separation of analytes.
