Analysis of Trihalomethanes in Aqueous Solutions: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Chloroform extraction was performed with three conventional LLE solvents (pentane, methylcyclohexane, and isoöctane) and three new solvents (hexane, n‐heptane, and n‐nonane) using the vapor space extraction method. Also investigated were a sequential extraction using the LLE test in a closed system and the efficiency of THM extraction in a multicomponent system.
