Mt. Tena et al., SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF MODIFIERS ON THE CO2-SUPERCRITICAL EXTRACTION OF PAHS IN SOIL, Chromatographia, 38(7-8), 1994, pp. 431-435
An exhaustive study of the behaviour in supercritical fluid extraction
of eight PAHs in real samples of soil compared to spiked samples in s
ilica has been carried out. The presence of a modifier is mandatory fo
r quantitative extraction of the native analytes, but is unnecessary i
n spiked samples. The type and volume of modifier to be added and the
sample-modifier contact time were optimized and the influence of the p
article size assessed.
