Popis: | Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is compared with Soxhlet extraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) is compared with gas chromatography (GC) for the characterization of tributyl phosphate and lard oil in spiked sediments. These compounds are of interest because they can affect the subsurface fate of carbon tetrachloride, a substance with which they were codisposed in the soil in large quantities at a U.S. Department of Energy site. One commercial SFE system is about 45% as efficient as Soxhlet extraction in recovering TBP and lard oil from sediments. Relative efficiency is increased to about 70% by using a modified collection device. These relatively poor recoveries may be caused by poor collection efficiency in the SFE rather than by differences in extraction efficiency between Soxhlet and SFE. FTIR gives comparable results to GC as a detection device for TBP and is more feasible for lard oil. The combination of SFE and FTIR could be a useful field screening technique for TBP and lard oil. |
