About this document

Formaldehyde Analysis in Water HPLC by Mohamed Mahgoub is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a method for determining the concentration of formaldehyde in water using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The method involves dissolving the water sample in buffer solution, then using HPLC to separate formaldehyde. Post-column derivatization is used, where formaldehyde reacts with acetylacetone and ammonium acetate at 90°C to form a fluorescent compound that can be detected. Safety precautions are outlined as formaldehyde is a suspected car
