Résumé :
|
This book coves one of the most important areas in analytical sciences, extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and related matrices. This text discusses all of the key stages for analysing a sample for organic compounds from the initial sampling protocols, the range of different extraction techniques for solid, liquid and air samples through to the final chromatographic analysis. The topics covered include: * Initial steps for solid, aqueous and air sampling. * Extraction techniques for aqueous samples, including LLE, purge and trap, SPE, SPME, SBSE, SDME, membrane microextraction and MPES. * Extraction techniques for solid samples, including Soxhlet, 'Soxtec', Shake-flask, sonication, PFE, MAE, SFE and MSPD. * Extraction techniques for air sampling, including whole air, enrichment approaches and desorption techniques. * Pre-concentration approaches for post-extraction. * Practical aspects for chromatographic analysis (GC and HPLC) of organic compounds. * Quality assurance aspects of analysis. * Health and safety considerations. Key features include: * Up-to-date information on the latest development in extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and food matrices. * Ideal for use as a self-study guide, as the basis of a taught course or guided reading for new 'early-career' researchers. * Includes a guide for the reader to other sources of information.
