Silvus, H., Jr, F. Newman, AND J. Frazar. DEVELOPMENT OF OIL-IN-WATER MONITOR. PHASE II. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/4-80/040.

Description:

A novel approach to quantitatively monitoring suspended hydrocarbons in water. This new oil-in-water monitor technique brings together for the first time two previously unrelated technologies: (1) reversed-phase liquid chromatography and (2) fiber optics. A special organophilic optical fiber, created by a chemical treatment process routinely used in reversed-phase liquid chromatography, collects and concentrates suspended hydrocarbon materials on its surface.
