Scope and Application Matrices: This method is applicable to aqueous samples. Definitions: Refer to Alpha Analytical Quality Manual. This method describes the procedure for extracting water-insoluble and lightly water-soluble organic compounds from aqueous samples. The method also describes concentration techniques suitable for preparing the extract for the various determinative methods listed in Table 1. The data report packages present the documentation of any method modification related to the samples tested. Depending upon the nature of the modification and the extent of intended use, the laboratory may be required to demonstrate that the modifications will produce equivalent results for the matrix. Approval of all method modifications is by one or more of the following laboratory personnel before performing the modification: Area Supervisor, Department Supervisor, Laboratory Director, or Quality Assurance Officer. This method is restricted to use by or under the supervision of trained analysts.

  • Standard Operating Procedures
    Standard Operating Procedures 1 Standard Operating Procedures OVERVIEW In the following laboratory exercises you will be introduced to some of the glassware and tech- niques used by chemists to isolate components from natural or synthetic mixtures and to purify the individual compounds and characterize them by determining some of their physical proper- ties. While working collaboratively with your group members you will become acquainted with: a) Volumetric glassware b) Liquid-liquid extraction apparatus c) Distillation apparatus OBJECTIVES After finishing these sessions and reporting your results to your mentor, you should be able to: • Prepare solutions of exact concentrations • Separate liquid-liquid mixtures • Purify compounds by recrystallization • Separate mixtures by simple and fractional distillation 2 EXPERIMENT 1 Glassware Calibration, Primary and Secondary Standards, and Manual Titrations PART 1. Volumetric Glassware Calibration Volumetric glassware is used to either contain or deliver liquids at a specified temperature. Glassware manufacturers indicate this by inscribing on the volumetric ware the initials TC (to contain) or TD (to deliver) along with the calibration temperature, which is usually 20°C1. Volumetric glassware must be scrupulously clean before use. The presence of streaks or droplets is an indication of the presence of a grease film. To eliminate grease from glassware, scrub with detergent solution, rinse with tap water, and finally rinse with a small portion of distilled water. Volumetric flasks (TC) A volumetric flask has a large round bottom with only one graduation mark positioned on the long narrow neck. Graduation Mark Stopper The position of the mark facilitates the accurate and precise reading of the meniscus. If the flask is used to prepare a solution starting with a solid compound, add small amounts of sol- vent until the entire solid dissolves.

  • Extraction Read 5.1 & 2.18 & 2.21 in Your Lab Text. Extraction Is A
    Extraction Read 5.1 & 2.18 & 2.21 in your lab text. Extraction is a separation technique based on differences in solubilities of substances in two immiscible solvents (usually water and a water insoluble organic solvent). solubility in solvent 1 Kc = partition coefficient = ------------------------ solubility in solvent 2 example: Given compound A, K (ether:water) = 4.0, how much of A can be extracted from a solution of 10.0 g of A in 100 mL of water with a single portion of 100 mL of ether? X / 100 mL ether Kc = 4.0 = ------------------------------- (10.0 - X) / 100 mL water X = 8.0 grams of A extracted into the ether -same as above, but extract two times with 50 mL of ether each time. X / 50 mL ether first extraction: Kc = 4.0 = ------------------------- (10.0 - X) / 100 mL water X = 6.67 grams of A extracted Y / 50 mL ether second extraction: Kc = 4 0 = ----------------------------- (3.33 - Y) / 100 mL water Y = 2.22 grams of A extracted total extracted = X + Y = 6.67 + 2.22 = 8.89 grams ==> multiple extractions with smaller amounts of solvent are more efficient than a single extraction with the same total amount of solvent. DRYING: an organic liquid that has been in contact with water is "wet" (contains some water). To "dry" it, use an inorganic drying agent. See Table 2.1 in your lab text. EXTRACTION AND WASHING The processes of extraction and washing are mechanically the same. Extraction refers to the recovery of a desired substance from a complex mixture, while washing denotes the removal of unwanted material.
