| Description | The possibilities of utilising pressurised liquid extraction for five nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from an inert matrix are shown. Different extraction temperatures and pressures were tested. The highest recoveries were obtained at extraction pressure 14 MPa and temperature 100 C. Separation of non-polar, aromatic and polar fractions by the silica gel column chromatography is shown. n-Hexane, cyclohexane and dichloromethane as a solvent were tested. The best separations of monitored fractions were obtained, when extract was dissolved in cyclohexane. Non-polar and aromatic fractions eluted together when the extract was dissolved in dichloromethane. |
