title: Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride polymers, food-simulating solvents, and other samples.
abstract: The determination of vinyl chloride (VC) in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vegetable oils, food-simulating solvents, mouthwashes, and blood anticoagulant solutions by gas-liquid chromatography is described. PVC polymers are disolved in either tetrahydrofuran or dimethyl acetamide. Vegetable oils are diluted with an equal volume of tetrahydrofuran. The resulting solutions are injected into a gas-liquid chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Mouthwashes, blood anticoagulant solutions, and 3 food-simulating solvents, 3% acetic acid, 50% ethanol, and heptane, are analyzed by direct injection into a chromatograph. Sensitivities are such that 0.05 ppm VC in solution or 1 ppm VC in PVC can be quantitated.
