Desenvolupament de mètodes de determinació de compostos fenòlics en aigües i sòls. Caracterització dels processos d'adsorció en diferents tipus de sòls.

Abstract

Phenols form a heterogenic compound family that has been found to have a detrimental effect on human health and to alter the taste and odour of water. Given the production of these contaminating compounds has increased considerably, both the EU and the EPA have established limits for the presence in the environment. The strictness of this legislation has made it necessary to develop more sensitive analytical methods to allow the detection of phenols at trace levels and to monitor their distribution in the different environmental contexts in which they are found.
