Abstract:
EPA Method 1664 was designed to establish protocols for measuring oil and grease constituents in wastewater. “Oil and grease” is a broadly defined group of chemicals encompassing compounds such as glycerides, sterols, waxes, lipids, and nonvolatile hydrocarbons. Method 1664 has since been modified for use with solid phase extraction disks as simple and fast method for extraction of oil and grease from wastewater. This work demonstrates the extraction of standard compounds with the Empore™ Oil and Grease disk combined with the Empore™ EZ-Trace manual workstation to improve sample throughput. Clean extractions with high recoveries and reproducibility are shown.
