Review of supercritical fluid extraction of organic contaminants in sediments / by Hing-Biu Lee and Dennis R. Gere.: En13-5/96-150E-PDF

"This manuscript reviews the applications of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) to the determination of organic priority substances in the aquatic environment. The basic principles of SFE are explained and the design of a generic SFE instrument is discussed. Examples of SFE in the extraction of the major classes of priority substances, including polychlorinated biphenyls, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, total petroleum hydrocarbons, insecticides and herbicides, phenols, chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans, resin acids, and organotins, are described. Over 100 recent references in this topic are cited"--Abstract.
