Soil quality - Determination of selected coal-tar-derived phenolic compounds using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (ISO 11709:2011)
Bodenbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung ausgewählter phenolischer Verbindungen aus Steinkohlenteer mittels Hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC) (ISO 11709:2011)
Overview
This International Standard specifies a method for the quantitative determination of selected coal-tar-derived phenols, namely phenol, methylphenols such as (ortho-, meta-, para-)cresols, and dihydroxybenzenes such as catechol, resorcinol and hydroquinone in soil by using high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet/diode array (HPLC/UV/DAD) or fluorescence (HPLC/FLD) or electrochemical detection (HPLC/ELCD). It is applicable to all types of soil with contamination levels of individual phenols in the range of approximately 0,08 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of soil. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 119-01-02-02 UA "Chemische und physikalische Verfahren" ("Chemical and physical processes") at DIN.
