Determination of terbacil in soil by gas-liquid chromatography with 63Ni electron capture detection. 1977

S U Khan

A method is described for the determination of terbacil residue in soil. The herbicide residue is extracted with 1.5% NaOH, partitioned into an organic phase and subsequently cleaned up by passing through a Florisil column. Extract is analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography using a 63Ni electron capture detector. The procedure has a sensitivity of about 0.01 ppm, based on a 20 g sample. The method was used for the analysis of terbacil residues in the field treated soil samples.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
