Abstract

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry has been used to identify long-chain (C8–C18) N-1-alkyl-1,3-propanediamines after derivatization with trifluoroacetic anhydride. Electron impact ionization and negative chemical ionization mass spectra of trifluoroacetylated derivatives of the identified N-1-alkyl-1,3-propanediamines are presented for the first time. The corrosion inhibiting long-chain N-1-alkyl-1,3-propanediamines were applied in the preparation and investigation of a new anticorrosive and antifouling formulation for water–steam circuit of energy systems in the power industry. Using the GC–MS data, it was possible to identify residues of the N-1-alkyl-1,3-propanediamines in complex samples of boiler water from the power plant after solid-phase extraction and acylation.
