TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the determination of formaldehyde and other aldehydes has been developed based on the reaction of the aldehyde species with 2-diphenylacetyl-1,3-indandione-1-hydrazone to form fluorescent azine derivatives.
Abstract: A sensitive, uncomplicated, and rapid method for the determination of formaldehyde and other aldehydes has been developed. The method is based on the reaction of the aldehyde species with 2-diphenylacetyl-1,3-indandione-1-hydrazone to form fluorescent azine derivatives. The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra have been obtained for several derivatives. The method developed eliminates the lengthy recovery steps required in other methods by performing the sample collection and derivatization directly in midget impingers containing an acetonitrile solution of the reagent. High performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection is used to separate and quantitate the individual aldehydes. The detection limits for formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and benzaldehyde are 6 ppb, 4.5 ppb, 0.6 pb, and 0.15 ppb, respectively, in the exhaust gas. The analysis time for the method is about 10 minutes if only one or two aldehydes are of interest. This technique has been used to measure ald...

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the complete separation of the amino polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (amino-PAH) from complex coal-derived mixtures was described.
Abstract: A method is described for the complete separation of the amino polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (amino-PAH) from complex coal-derived mixtures. After pre-fractionation, the use of derivatisation with pentafluoropropionic anhydride of the amino-PAH-rich isolate of an SRC-II heavy distillate coal liquid enabled the complete separation of this chemical class to be achieved by gel permeation chromatography. The fluoroamide derivatives were converted back to the original amino functionality by catalytic hydrolysis on neutral aluminium oxide. Subsequent high-resolution separation of individual components was obtained by capillary column gas chromatography, and specific compounds were determined by gas chromatographic retention data and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: For the quantitative determination of traces of fatty acids in pore water, several gas and liquid chromatographic methods were tested and discussed and direct determination by gas-liquid chromatography with the use of formic acid-saturated carrier gas was found to be the least laborious method.
Abstract: For the quantitative determination of traces of fatty acids in pore water, several gas and liquid chromatographic methods were tested and discussed. Direct determination by gas-liquid chromatography with the use of formic acid-saturated carrier gas was found to be the least laborious method, but it is only recommended for the determination of volatile acids such as acetate and higher homologs. For the determination of lactate and formate, a derivatization procedure is necessary. The determination of these acids as phenacyl or benzyl esters was complicated by contaminants in the reagents. For this reason, a high-pressure liquid chromatography procedure with 4-bromomethyl-7-methoxycoumarin as a fluorescent labeling reagent is preferred. With this method, lactic, acetic, and formic acids could be demonstrated simultaneously at the nanogram level in 5-ml samples. Profiles of these acids in the sediment of Lake Vechten were measured, and they showed correlations with sulfate-reducing and methanogenic bacterial activities.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an online type derivatization-separation-detection or separation-derivatizationdetection method for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analytes.
Abstract: As in all other forms of chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has come to rely quite heavily on derivatization of individual analytes for improved qualitative and quantitative identifications (1–13). Virtually all of this work has involved the use of homogeneous type derivatizations, wherein the sample solution to be injected, in the pre-column approach, or the HPLC effluent, in the post-column approach, are fully mixed with the derivatization reagents in solution. Clearly, homogeneous type derivatizations can be done off-line or on-line, in either the pre-or post-column modes, but in general, pre-column methods have been done offline, and post-column approaches have been done both on-line and off-line. Online type derivatizations, in either the pre-or post-column modes, appear to offer some very significant advantages. Major among these is the ability to perform derivatization-separation-detection or separation-derivatization-detection following injection of the sample m...
