Abstract
The study described in this article confirms that solvent extractable organic contaminants can be removed from samples by the novel thermo-vaporization method. The method is based on programmed pyrolysis and can be performed with a variety of available pyrolysis apparatus. After optimization, it was found that TV at 350â¯Â°C for 60â¯min or 375â¯Â°C for 30â¯min are both sufficient for removal of contaminants similar to the traditional solvent extraction method. A workflow for a thermo-vaporization based sample cleaning prior to pyrolysis is provided.
