Abstract

The first analytical method for the determination of 13 phosphoric acid mono-and diesters from aqueous samples is presented. The method consists of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ion-pair liquid chromatographic separation with tri-n-butylamine coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the negative ion mode. Due to a lack of pure standards, only 3 of the 13 esters could be quantified. SPE recoveries ranged from 71 to ...
