Determination of Ethyl Acetate,Propyl Acetate,and Butyl Acetate in Chemical Experimental Technology Competitions
A gas chromatography method was established for the simultaneous determination of three low-carbon esters,such as ethyl acetate,propyl acetate,and butyl acetate.Using isoamyl acetate as the internal standard,the determination was performed on the column of SK-1 by temperature programming.The inlet temperature was 200℃,and hydrogen flame ionization detector was adopted with the temperature of 250℃;high purity nitrogen gas was used as carrier gas with flow rate of 1.0 mL/min;the split radio was 50:1.The linear range were 1.445~7.225 mg/mL for ethyl acetate(r = 0.999 8),1.223~6.115 mg/mL for propyl acetate(r = 0.999 9),and 1.291~6.456 mg/m L for butyl acetate(r = 0.999 9);the limits of quantitation were 0.203,0.167,0.188 μg/mL respectively.RSDs of precision,reproducibility and stability tests were lower than 5%;the average recoveries rates for low,medium,and high concentrations were 96.8%~102.5%,97.4%~104.1%,and 98.1%~101.8%,respectively.This method is sensitive,accurate,easy to operate,and has fast analytical speed.It can be used for the simultaneous determination of ethyl acetate,propyl acetate,and butyl acetate in chemical experimental technology competitions.
