Summary of Test Method3.1 As shown in the equation, MEHQ reacts with nitrousacid (sodium nitrite in acidic media) to
8、form the nitrosoderivative which equilibrates between two structures.3.2 The yellow color of the nitroso compound is measuredspectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 420 nm.4. Significance and Use4.1 Acrylic acid and its esters are normally inhibited withMEHQ only. This procedure presents a rapid a
9、nd accuratemethod of determining the MEHQ content of fresh acrylic acidand acrylate esters in the absence of other inhibitors.4.2 MEHQ effectiveness may decline with age and thisdecline in effectiveness may not be indicated by this testmethod.5. Interferences5.1 Hydroquinone (HQ), thiodiphenylamine,
10、diphenylphenylene-diamine and p-hydroxydiphenylamine in-terfere if present.6.
