Homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction for preconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using a water/methanol/chloroform ternary component system

A fast and effective preconcentration method for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was developed using a homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction based on phase separation phenomenon in a ternary solvent (water/methanol/chloroform) system. The phase separation phenomenon occur…
