G. Argiropoulos et al., DETERMINATION OF THE QUATERNARY AMMONIUM ION COMPONENTS OF ALIQUAT-336 BY ELECTROSPRAY MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Analytica chimica acta, 360(1-3), 1998, pp. 167-169
A procedure is described for the identification and determination of t
he quaternary ammonium ion components of the commercial solvent extrac
tion reagent Aliquat 336 using Electro Spray Mass Spectrometry (ESMS).
The procedure is extremely rapid when compared with an existing proce
dure based on gas chromatography and produces comparable results in te
rms of accuracy and precision. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
