title: Focused microwave aqueous extraction of chlorophenols from solid matrices and their analysis by chromatographic techniques.
abstract: Open-vessel focused microwave (FMW) extraction with a purely aqueous carbonate solution was used for the extraction of chlorophenols from various solid matrices. After SPE on C18-bonded silica, the analytes were determined as such by LC-UV or, as their acetyl derivatives, by GC-ECD. The FMW aqueous extraction is efficient and rapid and no organic solvents are used. PCP was detected in several solid samples, with recoveries of 101-115% (RSD, 2-4%) relative to Soxhlet extraction. Similar recoveries were obtained for the other chlorophenols for spiked samples.
