Determination of trace glycerol in water by Acetylacetone spectrophotometric method
Objective:An Acetylacetone spectrophotometric method for determination of trace glycerol in water was built up.Methods:Based on periodate oxidation of glycerol,acetaldehyde was produced to react with acetylacetone to generate some yellow compound,then the glycerin content in the product was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometer at 414 nm.Results:This method is simple,quick and economic.Conclusion:Data related to recovery tests and analysis of real samples showed the method with high precision and good accuracy is a viable method.
