Technical Bulletin No. 0347: Experience with the Analysis of Pulp Mill Effluents for Chlorinated Phenols using an Acetic Anhydride Derivatization Procedure

The examination of analytical methods that appeared to be particularly useful or desirable for use in the analysis of pulp and papermill effluents was an ongoing part of the National Council investigative program. This technical bulletin deals with the analysis of gas chromatographic analysis for chlorophenols in pulpmill effluents. The investigative work was undertaken in search of a gas chromatographic method suitable for use in routine or semiroutine analysis of an array of chlorophenols of regulatory or scientific interest that might be present in biologically treated effluents.
