Apparatus for continuous extraction of nonpolar compounds from water applied to determination of chlorinated pesticides and intermediates
A continuous, multichamber liquid-liquid extractor, with internal solvent recycle, for the extraction of nonpolar contaminants from natural waters is described. The multichamber arrangement makes it possible to judge the completeness of extraction of a given component from the aqueous stream. Recoveries as high as 100% are obtained by applying the apparatus to the extraction of the pesticides aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin and their manufacturing intermediates.
