Abstract:
A method for quantitative evaluation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in sawdust has been developed. Pentachlorophenol is extracted from the solid matrix with 0.5 M sodium hydroxide and preconcentration was carried out using quinolin-8-ol immobilized on controlled pore glass. Determination was carried out by using liquid chromatography with detection at 240 nm. Recoveries were between 84 and 97% at 1–3 μg/g.
