Analytical procedures for aniline and selected derivatives in wastewater and sludge. Final report
This study involved the development and validation of analytical methods for determining aniline and 18 halogen and nitro-substituted derivatives in industrial wastewater and municipal sludge. Gas chromatography (GC) with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector (NPD) was found to be well suited as a determinative technique for anilines in wastewater. Detection limits of 1-5 micrograms/L were achieved using both packed and capillary columns. A GC-MS approach which was essentially the same as U.S. EPA Method 625 was found to be useful for identifying and determining anilines in industrial wastewater at the low micrograms/L level. A U.S. EPA Interim Method developed by EMSL-Cincinnati for the determination of priority pollutants in municipal sludge was evaluated and optimized for the determination of anilines. Detection limits of 50-300 micrograms/kg were achieved.
