Title Gas-chromatographic determination of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzyl acetate in air
Original title Gazohromatografičeskoe opredelenie benzilovogo spirta, benzal'degida i benzilacetata v vozduhe [in Russian]
Bibliographic information May 1985, No.5, p.55-57. Illus.
Abstract Air for analysis is sampled by being drawn through a 0.7-0.8 by 10cm tube of diatomaceous earth (Risorb BLK) at a rate of 0.5L/min for 20min. Benzyl compounds are eluted from the sorbent with chloroform and separated on a 4mm by 2m steel column packed with (a) 5% XE-60 silicone on Chromaton N-AW-DMCS, (b) 10% Apiezon L on Inerton AW-DMCS, or (c) 10% PMS-100 on Dinochrom-II. The chromatograph is fitted with a flame-ionisation detector, and nitrogen is used as carrier gas. The limit of detection is 0.01µg, or 0.8mg/m3. The method has been approved for use under industrial conditions (fabric dyeing).
