Abstract
The recoveries of phenol and some of its alkyl derivatives in the prec oncentration/cleanup of environmental samples using the dichloromethan e/aqueous partitioning technique is known to be poor. Studying the rec overy data of phenols which were spiked at different steps of partitio ning/solvent evaporation procedure, it was found that the poor recover ies are mainly due to inefficient extraction of phenols into dichlorom ethane rather than to loss by evaporation or irreversible sorption.
