M. Possanzini et V. Dipalo, DETERMINATION OF OLEFINIC ALDEHYDES AND OTHER VOLATILE CARBONYLS IN AIR SAMPLES BY DNPH-COATED CARTRIDGES AND HPLC, Chromatographia, 40(3-4), 1995, pp. 134-138
The collection of low-boiling olefinic aldehydes on 2,4-dinitrophenylh
ydrazine (DNPH)-coated adsorbents (silica cartridges and glass denuder
s) is examined. Concurrent formation of two different hydrazones by bo
th acrolein and crotonaldehyde is reported and discussed. Identificati
on and quantitation of these compounds do not represent a problem in H
PLC analysis, because of their separation from other C-3 and C-4 carbo
nyl derivatives present in airborne sample extracts.
