Top 20 Industrial Chemicals Testing Methods

For regulatory compliance and to understand the quality and composition of chemical substances and materials used in products, industrial processes, and production, chemical testing and analysis are essential. The top 20 industrial chemicals testing methods are given below:

  • Ammonia: Ion-selective electrode, titration, colorimetry
  • Benzene: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Carbon dioxide: Gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy
  • Carbon monoxide: Gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy
  • Chlorine: Colorimetry, ion-selective electrode, gas chromatography
  • Formaldehyde: Colorimetry, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Hydrogen sulfide: Colorimetry, gas chromatography
  • Lead: Atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
  • Mercury: Atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
  • Methanol: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Nitrogen oxides: Gas chromatography, colorimetry
  • Ozone: Gas chromatography, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy
  • Perchloroethylene: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Phenol: Gas chromatography, liquid chromatography
  • Sulfur dioxide: Gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy
  • Toluene: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Trichloroethylene: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Vinyl chloride: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Xylene: Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry
  • Zinc: Atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

These methods identify and quantify the presence of chemicals in various industrial settings and applications, and they are essential for maintaining safe and regulated practices in industry.
