Abstract
Analytical methods to determine oil and grease concentration and identify specific organic fractions in water and wastewater are reviewed. Important aspects of the development of these procedures are extraction technique, solvent type, and identification and quantification methods for the extracted material. The material presented will assist researchers and regulatory investigators in selecting appropriate analytical procedures and interpreting results.Keywords
