description

Abstract A method for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) trace extraction from contaminated water at the part-pertrillion levels is described. This procedure involves quantitative adsorption of PCBs on Cis glass microcolumns. PCBs are retained on the surface and subsequently eluted with n-hexane (5 mL) before gas chromatography. Recovery of water fortified with PCBs was 83.6-108.5%. Compared to liquid-liquid extraction methods, the Cis glass microcolumns give comparable results, lessen solvent costs, and are less time-consuming.
