The separate determination of small amounts of ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde in mixed aqueous solutions

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    We have made a quantitative comparison of various reagents for determining ethylene oxide in dilute aqueous solutions according to the Deckert-Lubatti method.

  2. 2.

    KI+HI and Na2S2O3 can determine 97–100 and 76–78% ethylene oxide, respectively.

  3. 3.

    For mixed aqueous solutions of ethylene oxide, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde we recommend the reagents: KI+HI (to determine ethylene oxide), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (sum of aldehydes) and Schiffs reagent (formaldehyde).
