8、BS3762 describes two methods for the determination of low molecular mass alcohols in liquid detergent formulations. Method1 is intended for the determination of alcohols with a carbon chain of one to four and in a wide range of concentrations. Method2 is for determining methanol and ethanol, from wh
9、ich their ratio can be calculated. NOTEThe title of the publication referred to in this Section is given on the inside back cover. 2 Principle A known mass of acetonitrile(internal standard) in water is added to a known mass of sample and the mixture is subjected to analysis by packed column gas chr
10、omatography. The areas of the acetonitrile and alcohol peaks are obtained from an electronic integrator and the concentration of the alcohol(s) calculated using a response factor derived from calibration solutions. If necessary, the alcohols may be identified by comparison of peak retention times. 3
11、 Reagents The reagents shall be of a recognized analytical grade. Water complying with grade3 of BS3978 shall be used throughout. 3.1 Internal standard acetonitrile aqueous solution, 75mg/10mL approximately. 3.2 Samples of the appropriate alcohols 4 Apparatus Ordinary laboratory apparatus and the fo
12、llowing are required. 4.1 Gas chromatograph, with flame ionization detector and capable of temperature programming, comprising a column capable of producing a chromatogram with resolution similar to, or better than, that shown in Figure 1 (e.g.1.8m 2mm internal diameter glass coil packed with porous
13、 polymer beads,80 to100mesh). NOTEPoropak Q has been found to be a suitable packing. 4.2 Electronic integrator, giving a linear response with adequate sensitivity, and satisfactory correction for deviation of the baseline. 4.3 Syringe, of14L capacity, graduated in0.14L. 4.4 Safety pipette filler 4.5
14、 Sample tubes, 25mL, fitted with screw caps with wadded aluminium inserts. 5 Instrument conditions 5.1 Temperature programme The temperature programme shall be that required for the column(see4.1). NOTEThe following is given as an example: 5.2 Gas flows The carrier gas shall be oxygen-free nitrogen.
15、 NOTEThe instrument manual should be referred to for details of detector gases. 6 Procedure 6.1 Method 1 6.1.1 Preparation of calibration data 6.1.1.1 Pipette10mL of the internal standard acetonitrile solution(3.1) into each of three sample tubes(4.5) using the safety pipette filler(4.4). 6.1.1.2 We

NOTEThe above complex mixtures are for use if the type of alcohol(s) present is not known. If the type of alcohol(s) pres
17、ent is known, the mixtures may be simplified accordingly. 6.1.1.3 Inject approximately0.74L of one of the calibration solutions(6.1.1.2) into the gas chromatograph (4.1) operating under the appropriate conditions(seeclause5) and allow the chromatogram to develop. 6.1.1.4 Obtain from the electronic i
