Analysis of volatile organic compounds in water by dynamic stripping, thermal desorption, cryofocusing, and capillary gas chromatography (journal version)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6032745
A dynamic headspace procedure developed for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water is described. The VOCs are purged from a water sample with an inert gas, transferring them to a tube packed with Tenax adsorbent. The adsorbent tube, or trap, is thermally desorbed, the analytes cryofocused, and subsequently transferred to a capillary column gas chromatograph.
