Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The piperonal chloride reaction has been used for the quantitative determination of phenols in raw automobile exhaust fumes. This method is compared with five other methods found suitable for this purpose, and accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity of the procedures are evaluated. Recommendations are made for the selection of methods.

Zusammenfassung

Die quantitative Bestimmung von Phenolen in rohen Automobilauspuffgasen wurde unter Benutzung der Reaktion mit Piperonalchlorid ausgeführt. Diese Methode wurde mit fünf anderen für diesen Zweck geeignet erscheinenden Verfahren hinsichtlich Genauigkeit, Empfindlichkeit und Handlichkeit verglichen, woraus sich Vorschläge für die Wahl der jeweils geeignetsten Methode ergeben.

Résumé

On a utilisé la réaction au chlorure de pipéronal pour doser les phénols dans les fumées d'échappement brutes des automobiles. On compare cette méthode avec cinq autres que l'on estime satisfaisantes et l'on évalue la précision, la sensibilité et la simplicité des procédés. On donne des recommandations pour la sélection des méthodes.
