[Gas chromatographic determination of acetic acid esters in the air]

|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
A gas chromatographic method for determination of methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate and amyl acetate has been elaborated. The best separation of determined compounds has been achieved on a column containing 10% Carbowax 20 M on Chromosorb W AW DMCS. Air samples are collected by passing the examined air through charcoal tubes and consequent desorption of adsorbed compounds with carbon disulfide. Activated charcoal used in all tests has been found to adsorb 10%, by weight, of acetic acid esters.
