3.4 Light shredder Waste Analysis<br />

3.4.1 (+)APCI-TOF-MS <strong>of</strong> Waste Sample<br />

After the detailed and necessary groundwork knowledge about the ionisation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

standard hydrocarbons in the previous section was attained, I have moved into the<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> hydrocarbon content within the complex mixture <strong>of</strong> light shredder<br />

waste. Concerning the waste sample I have employed an optimised extraction<br />
