Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine phenol, chlorophenols, chlorocatechols, chlorinated methoxyphenols and monoterpenes in communal sewage that was purified by Group Purification Plant in Łódź (Poland) and also in Ner River that is the receiver of purified sewage. The effectivity of degradation (purification) of investigeted compounds was also analysed. The compounds were concentrated on octadecyl (C 18) layers in a Baker-Separex system. Obtained extract was separated using gas chromatography (GC) and analysed by mass spectrometry (MS). In investigated samples phenol, chlorophenols, chlorocatechols, chloroguaiacols, chlorosyringols, 3,4,5-trichloroveratrole, 5,6-dichlorovaniline and several monoterpenes were determined. Performed analysis showed unsufficient effectivity of degradation of investigated compounds, particulary chlorophenols and their chlorinated derivatives. In some cases also appearance of some of the compounds (chlorinated catechols and methoxyphenols) after biodegradation (purification) proccess was observed.
