Identification and quantitation of petroleum substances in environmental samples using Friedel-Crafts/Hanby spectrophotometry with chemometrics
Hanby method extraction/colorimetric field test kits have been successfully utilized in the past decade for the detection and quantitation of petroleum compounds in water and soil samples employing visual comparison of test results with photograph standards. The past several years have seen a number of investigations into the development of various visible-region spectrometric instruments to be used as read-out devices for these test results. Very recent developments in Charge-Transfer Device (CTD) technology coupled with advances in fiber-optics, microprocessors, and software innovations in chemometrics are preparing the way for expansion of this portable technology into visible molecular spectroscopic analysis.
