It is meaningful to find out an effective method to analyze phenol.Trace phenol in tap water and paper mill waste water was absorbed with solid-phase microextraction(SPME) and was analyzed with gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry(GC-MS).The performance of the fiber was good as the phenol was extracted directly without derivatization and then analyzed by GC-MS with a polar capillary column.The parameters,such as extraction fiber,extraction time and extraction temperature,which contributed to th...
