    This document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to read a journal article on using accelerated solvent extraction to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated soil. Students are asked to answer 9 questions about the standard method used, sample pretreatment, ASE experimental parameters, software for experimental design, advantages over conventional methods, optimization responses, how results were evaluated, how the authors demonstrated robustness of ASE, why GC-MSD was used to report results, and what solvent they would select for extracting PAHs from sediments and why.

    Based on the journal, answer the following questions:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    State the standard method used for the analysis of PAHs in this study.
    Identify the samples pretreatment involve in this work?
    What are the ASE experimental parameters considered and state their levels.
    Name the software used for DoE in this study.
    Explain the advantages of using this approach compare to conventional method (COST
    Method).
    5. State the responses used in the optimization of ASE for the extraction of PAHs.
    6. Briefly explain how the results of this work is evaluated.
    7. The robustness of ASE for the extraction of PAH in contaminated soil is demonstrated.
    How do the authors arrive with the conclusion?
    8. Why the authors used GC-MSD to report the results?
    9. If you are required to extract PAHs in sediment sample, what type of solvent will you select?
    Give the reason for your answer.
