Zusammenfassung

Ein von uns beschriebenes Verfahren [1] erlaubt die selektive Abtrennung von 2,3,7,8-TCDD von den übrigen PCDD und PCDF durch Fraktionierung an Alumina Woelm B Super I. Diese Methode wurde nun zur Bestimmung von 2,3,7,8-TCDD in verschiedenen Proben von Chlorphenolen und verwandten Produkten angewandt.

Analysenergebnisse für Pentachlorphenol, Pentachlorphenol-Natrium, 2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorphenol, 2,4-Dichlorphenoxyessigsäure, Hexachlorophen und Chloranil werden berichtet. Während in Pentachlorphenol und Chloranil 2,3,7,8-TCDD bei einer Nachweisgrenze von ca. 0,03 ng/g (ppb) nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte, wurde 2,3,7,8-TCDD in allen übrigen Proben nachgewiesen. Mit Ausnahme von 2,4-Dichlorphenoxyessigsäure lagen die Konzentrationen an 2,3,7,8-TCDD unter 1 ng/g (ppb).

Summary

We have recently published a procedure [1] which allows the selective determination of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in the presence of a large excess of other polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF). This method was applied for the determination of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in several samples of chlorophenols and related products.

Analytical results are reported for pentachlorophenol, sodium pentachlorophenate, 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, hexachlorophene, and chloranil. While 2,3,7,8-TCDD could not be detected at a limit of detection of about 0.03 ng/g (ppb) in pentachlorophenol and chloranil, 2,3,7,8-TCDD could be shown to be present in all samples of sodium pentachlorophenate and also in the samples of 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol, 2,4-D, and hexachlorophene. With the exception of 2,4-D, the concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in these samples was below 1 ng/g (pbb).
