Title ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES, HALOWAXES AND PCBs AS AROCLORS BYGAS CHROMATOGRAPHY: CAPILLARYCOLUMN TECHNIQUE
Abstract A measured volume or weight of sample (approximately 1 L for liquids,2 g to 30 g for solids) is extracted using the appropriate sample extraction technique. Liquid samples are extracted at neutral pH with methylene chloride using either a separatory funnel (Method 3510) or a continuous liquid-liquid extractor (Method 3520). Solid samples,are extracted with hexane-acetone (1:1) or methylene chloride-acetone (1:1) using either Soxhlet extraction (Method 3540), Automated Soxhlet (Method 3541), or Ultrasonic Extraction (Method 3550).A variety of cleanup steps may be applied to the extract, depending on (1) the nature of the coextracted matrix interferences and (2) the target analytes. After cleanup, the extract is analyzed by injecting a l-,4L sample into a gas chromatograph with a narrow- or wide-bore fused silica capillary column and electron capture detector (GC/ECD) or an electrolytic conductivity detector (GC/ELCD.)
