2) Estimate the extraction efficiency
Organic polymers are often used as absorption agents in the extraction of organic pollutants from water samples. You already have some experience with two of these absortion agents (see first lines of the table). you now would like to estimate, if extraction is sufficently high for the other substanzens listed in the table. Please provide a short explanation for your answer. In case the given information does not allow for an answer, please also explain why.
Pollutant |
Organic polymer I |
Organic polymer II |
3-Methylhexane |
extraction not sufficient |
extraction sufficient |
Cyclohexane |
extraction sufficient |
extraction sufficient |
Dibutylether |
extraction not sufficient |
extraction sufficient |
|
|
|
a) Heptan
|
Ausreichend, da besser als bei
Cyclohexan
|
ausreichend |
b) Octanal
|
Nicht ausreichend, da wahrscheinlich
ähnlich wie Dibutylether |
ausreichend |
c) 1,4-Dichlorobenzene
|
Ausreichend, da apolar und grösser als
cyclohexan.
|
ausreichend |
d) Hexanol
|
Nicht ausreichend, da kleiner und deshalb
schlechter als Methylhexanol |
ausreichend |
e) Pentylamin
|
Wahrscheinlich nicht aussreichend, da bipolar
wie methylhexanol und kleiner als dieses |
Bipolar aber kleiner als methylhexanol, daher unklar |
