III. Analysis of fatty amines

Summary

The separation of fatty amines has been carried out with nonpolar substrates on solid supports of Chromosorb and Chromosorb W, which were previously treated with potassium hydroxide to overcome adsorptivity. In this manner well-resolved symmetrical peaks are obtained. Untreated supports give peaks which trail and prohibit precise quantitative measurements. Both Apiezon L on Chromosorb W and Silicone Grease on Chromosorb have proved effective, the latter at 176°C. and the former at 225°C. Relative detector sensitivity factors have been determined for the amines C8 to C18, thus permitting accurate analyses. The relative response for primary alkyl fatty amines is a linear function of molecular weight.
