Abstract:
Twelve collaborating laboratories assayed hydrazine in technical maleic hydrazide (MH), 6-hydroxy-2H-pyridazin-3-one, and 2 formulated products, a liquid concentrate and a soluble granule, using gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection. The hydrazine content in the samples ranged from 0.03 ppm, in the liquid concentrate, to 0.26 ppm, in MH technical. Hydrazine and MH are dissolved in an aqueous solution. The MH is then precipitated out of solution by acidification. The solution containing hydrazine is treated with excess pentafluorobenzaldehyde (PFB) to form pentafluorobenzaldehyde azine (PFBA). The PFBA is extracted with hexane for analysis by GC using an electron capture detector. Peak area responses of PFBA are measured and quantified by external standardization. Hydrazine concentration is calculated from the PFBA determination. The laboratories weighed each test sample in duplicate with duplicate analysis for each weighing. Data from these laboratories were statistically analyzed. The average relative repeatability was determined to be 5.34% and the average relative reproducibility was 27.99%.
