Ofx. Donard et al., MICROWAVE-ASSISTED LEACHING OF ORGANOTIN COMPOUNDS FROM SEDIMENTS FORSPECIATION ANALYSIS, Analytical chemistry, 67(23), 1995, pp. 4250-4254
The behavior and stability of organotin compounds in a microwave field
is discussed. An extremes rapid procedure for the separation of butyl
- and phenyltin derivatives from sediments is developed. The analyte s
pecies are quantitatively leached with acetic acid in a focused microw
ave field during a period of 3 min. The procedure followed by capillar
y GC-FPD offers a detection Limit of 1 ng/g (as Sn). The procedure dev
eloped was validated by the analyses of two certified reference materi
als: the NRCC PACS-1 and the BCR CRM 462.
