Notes:
The microwave energy produced by a high intensity microwave oven was used to extract polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) from water samples. This static method was compared with liquid-liquid extraction to determine the optimum and limiting conditions in extraction processes. The sample size and sample container shape determine the temperature profiles in the sample. Using a 500 mL sample size, the detection limit is in the low ng/L range when an electron capture detector is employed.
