Title: ARTIFACT FORMATION DURING NEUTRALIZATION OF TANK 50 SAMPLES

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1149714· OSTI ID:1149714

Degradation products have been identified in the extracts of Tank 50 samples analyzed by semivolatile organic compound analysis (SVOA) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). These materials, identified as short chain alkyl alcohols, were formed by acidification during sample preparation. A number of questions were raised about the formation of these and other materials reported in Tank 50 surface samples, and this report serves to address these questions.
