ASTM D7599 Determination of Ethanol Amines in Water by Liquid Chromatography

Scope:

ASTM D7599 test method deals with the determination of ethanolamines in surface water which serve as chemical weapons. There can be varied uses of these chemical weapons, such as their application in the production of adhesives, agricultural products, cement grinding aids, detergents, various chemical products, polishes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. These ethanolamines are biodegradable and can thus be easily dissolved in water. This test method determines their applications, properties, and significance.

Procedure:

The ASTM D7599 test method is aimed at determining the performance of various ethanolamines. For this purpose, the samples are taken and treated in the lab at a specific temperature range. There the samples are filtered and analyzed, and recognized by their retention time. The final report is issued after carefully determining the concentration of different ethanolamines in the sample.

Specimen size:

Specimen size must be in accordance with the requirements. The ASTM D7599 test method requires about 25 mL of the sample solution.

Data:

The percent recovery of the spike (P) is calculated and provided.

Conclusion:

ASTM D7599 test method deals with the determination of ethanolamines in surface water which serve as chemical weapons.
