Abstract
Although listed as a “volatile,” acrolein is insufficiently volatile to be purged from aqueous solution at room temperatures. Recovery is enhanced at elevated temperatures. Direct aqueous injection is suggested as an alternative procedure. Phenylhydrazone derivatives are employed for the colorimetric assay of acrolein, and are also amenable to mass spectrometry.
