Application of pressurised fluid extraction to sample preparation

Abstract

The article is focused on the pressurised fluid extraction - PFE technique using of a one PSE device and its application to isolation of various organic compounds from solid samples. In this paper optimisation procedure for individual analytes is described and discussed. Applicability of PFE is tested on isolation procedures of phthalates, PAHs and TPHs from environmental materials (soils, river sediments), and the additives in smokeless gunpowders.
