Hydrocarbons monoaromatic

Zebiihr et al. (29) developed an automated system for determining PAHs, PCBs and PCDD/Fs by using an aminopropyl silica column coupled to a porous graphitic carbon column. This method gives five fractions, i.e. aliphatic and monoaromatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PCBs with two or more ortho-chlorines, mono-ort/io PCBs, and non-ortho PCBs and PCDD/Fs. This method employed five switching valves and was successfully used with extracts of sediments, biological samples and electrostatic filter precipitates.
