Pre- and post-extraction considerations -- Classical approaches for aqueous extraction -- Solid phase extraction -- Solid phase microextraction -- New developments in microextraction -- Classical approaches for solid-liquid extraction -- Pressurized fluid extraction -- Microwave-assisted extraction -- Matrix solid phase dispersion -- Air sampling -- Comparison of extraction methods -- Resources for extraction techniques
Summary
This book covers one of the most important areas in analytical sciences, i.e. that of extraction techniques for organic compounds in environmental and related matrices, e.g. food. This text discusses all of the key stages for analysing a sample for organic compounds from the initial sampling protocols through to the range of different extraction techniques used for solid, liquid and air samples and finally through to the final chromatographic analysis. The text provides detailed information on specific extraction techniques to prepare samples for organic compound analysis. The topics covered i
