Separation and identification of perchlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by high-performance liquid chromatography and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy

J Chromatogr A. 1999 Dec 9;864(1):173-7. doi: 10.1016/s0021-9673(99)00956-5.

Abstract

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was coupled with ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy (UV) for the simultaneous separation and identification of a series of perchlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as perchlorobenzene (C6Cl6), perchloronaphthalene (C10Cl8), perchlorobiphenyl (C12Cl10), perchloroanthracene (C14Cl10), perchlorophenanthrene (C14C10), perchloroacenaphthylene (C12Cl8), perchloropyrene (C16Cl10) and perchlorofluoranthene (C16Cl10). HPLC was performed on an ODS column using methanol-hexane (80:20) as mobile phase at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. UV absorption spectra of the elutes were detected in the region of 210-350 nm.
