Abstract.

Results from use of a new isolation procedure based on sequential extraction with supercritical CO2, subcritical H2O, and an H2O/CO2 mixture in the same supercritical fluid extractor have been compared with results from the BCR-recommended three-step sequential extraction procedure. The new procedure gives more detailed information about environmentally mobile fractions (water-soluble, bicarbonate-forming), and in less time (5–6 h), than the BCR procedure.
