The 4-CBA, p-TOL and PTA dissociate and becomehomologous ions under basic conditions. A fixed amount ofthis solution is introduced into the capillary using hydrody-namic sampling. A vol

20、tage is applied to the capillary toseparate the impurities, 4-CBA, and p-TOL, from PTA. Exter-nal standard calibration is used for quantification.5. Significance and Use5.1 The presence of 4-CBA and p-TOL in PTA used for theproduction of polyester is undesirable because they can slowdown the polymer

21、ization process; and 4-CBAis also impartingcoloration to the polymer due to thermal instability.5.2 Determining the amount of 4-CBA and p-TOL remain-ing from the manufacture of PTA is often required. This testmethod is suitable for setting specifications and for use as aninternal quality control whe

22、re these products are produced orused.5.3 This test method is intended as an alternative to theHPLC method for determination of 4-CBA and p-TOL in PTA.The major benefits of CE are speed, simplicity, reduced reagentconsumption and operating costs.6.
