A quantitative method for the determination of chlorophenols and chlorophenoxyacetic acids in aqueous solutions is described. The samples investigated contained 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and their phenoxyacetic acid derivatives. The total amount of chlorophenols is determined by spectrophotometry, the ratio of individual chlorophenols by gas chromatography and the total quantity of phenoxyacetic acids by acidimetric titration. The determinations are carried out after extraction with diethyl ether, carbon tetrachloride and petroleum ether, respectively.
