S. Abbasi et al., Applications of a functionalised XAD-2 sorbent: Enrichment and HPLC determination of six phenols in tap water, J CHEM S P, 21(2), 1999, pp. 132-136
Applications of 1,2-diaminobenzene (1,2-DAB) functionalised XAD-2 sorbent (
XAD-2/ 1,2-DAB) have been tested for the enrichment of six phenolic compoun
ds from tap and river water. Phenols enriched on this resin were desorbed w
ith methanol and analyzed by HPLC at 228 nm UV detection. The recovery of p
henols studied here, except beta -naphthol, ranges between 90-100 % with a
relative standard deviation of 0.01-0.09 %. The performance of the resin wa
s checked on indus river water and it enabled phenolic compounds at levels
of 0.01 mug L-1 to be determined in real samples.
