Development of an analytical method for the determination of organic compounds in fossil-fuel aqueous leachates
An analytical method has been developed for analysis of organic compounds in aqueous leachates of fossil fuel solid wastes. The method has been evaluated using two synthetic leachates as well as bulk and small-scale leachates of SRC-II vacuum still bottoms at the participating laboratories. Under the conditions of these tests, the method worked well for most analytes; however, n-hexanoic acid, 4-aminobiphenyl, 1,4-naphtoquinone, and 1-nephthylamine were not determined accurately or precisely by the method. Other analytes of interest are benzanthracene, o-cresol, phenanthrene, carbazole, naphthalene, phenol, n-tetradecane, 2-naphthol, dibenzothiophene, quinoline, acenaphthylene, 2-picoline, fluoranthrene, 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl (standard), 2-fluorophenol (standard), n-octacosane (standard), and azulene (standard). 7 references, 22 figures, 26 tables.
