9、.Summary of Test Method3.1 The chlorophenoxy acids and esters are hydrolyzed totheir respective salts by heating and stirring the sample withaqueous alkali.The salts are then converted to their respectiveacids by the addition of HCl.The aqueous solutions of the freeacids are then analyzed using High
10、 Performance Liquid Chro-matography(HPLC)using ultraviolet detection.4.Significance of Use4.1 Phenoxy acid herbicides are used extensively for weedcontrol.Esters and salts of 2,4-D,2,4,5-T,and Silvex havebeen used for agricultural crop and lawn care.5.Interferences5.1 Organic liquids that have high
11、percent levels of chlori-nated organics and are denser than water may interfere with theextraction of Silvex.It is necessary to mix these samples withhexadecane,typically in a 1:1 ratio,before hydrolysis.5.2 Phenols,especially chlorophenols interfere with theprocedure,by coeluting with the analytes
12、of interest.5.3 Interferences may be encountered from other organiccompounds that absorb UV at the specified wavelengths.Also,closely eluting compounds may complicate identificationbased solely on retention time.When these types of interfer-ences are encountered,the analyst must rely on other source
