Abstract
This paper describes a rapid gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for the characterisation of PEGs, HO-(CH2 -CH2-O)n-H, in water. This method allows the routine analysis of a mix ture of these compounds, in the range n=1-50 (up to PEG 1500) in unest erified samples, at room temperature. The method has been used for the study of anaerobic digestion of PEG-200 and PEG-300 in an one litre l aboratory digester.
