Test method of ethylene glycol for industrial use - Part 3:
Determination of content of aldehydes
WARNING: This document is not intended to address all safety issues related to
its use. Users are responsible for taking appropriate safety and health measures to
ensure compliance with relevant national laws and regulations.
1 Scope
This document specifies spectrophotometric and liquid chromatographic methods for
the determination of aldehydes in ethylene glycol for industrial use.
This document applies to the determination of aldehyde content in industrial ethylene
glycol. The determination range is 0.10mg/kg~50mg/kg.
If the ethylene glycol sample contains ketones, the liquid chromatography analysis
results will be high. Therefore, when applying this document to the quality control of
the aldehyde content of ethylene glycol products, relevant parties shall negotiate to
determine the analytical method to be used.
2 Normative references

3 Terms and definitions
This document does not have terms and definitions that need to be defined.
4.3.3 Analytical balance
Accuracy is 0.1mg.
4.4 Sampling
Take samples according to the requirements of GB/T 3723 and GB/T 6680.
4.5 Analysis steps
4.5.1 Inspection of MBTH solution absorbance
Take the MBTH solution (4.2.2) in the 10mm absorption cell. Use water as reference
solution. Measure the absorbance value of the solution at 350nm, 375nm and 400nm.
Record this value. It shall not be greater than 0.020, 0.010, 0.010.
4.5.2 Drawing of working curve
Add 0mL1.0mL, 2.0mL, 3.0mL, 4.0mL, 5.0mL of formaldehyde standard solution
(4.2.5) into six 50mL volumetric flasks. Then add 5.0mL, 4.0mL, 3.0mL, 2.0mL, 1.0mL,
0mL of water respectively. Shake well. Then add 5.0mL of MBTH solution (4.2.2).
Shake well. React at room temperature for 30min. Then add 5.0mL of oxidant solution
(4.2.3). Shake well. Leave it for 20min. Finally use water to dilute to the scale. At
620nm, with water as the reference solution, use the 10mm absorption cell to measure
the absorbance.
Take the mass of formaldehyde (μg) as the abscissa, and the corresponding net
absorbance (deducting the absorbance of the reagent blank) as the ordinate to draw a
working curve. The linear correlation coefficient shall be greater than 0.99.
The operating place shall avoid direct sunlight. The absorbance of the reagent blank
shall not be greater than 0.070. If the absorbance of the blank solution exceeds the upper
limit of the control, the glassware shall be cleaned again. Do the calibration again.
4.5.3 Specimen determination
Weigh an appropriate amount of specimen in a 50mL volumetric flask. The mass is m
(accurate to 0.1mg). Add 4.0mL of water. Subsequent steps are the same as 4.5.2.
Simultaneously do a reagent blank test. The net absorbance of the specimen is its
absorbance minus the absorbance of the blank.
4.6 Calculation
On the working curve drawn according to 4.5.2, check the mass m1 (μg) of aldehyde
according to the net absorbance. Then calculate the aldehyde content (as formaldehyde)
in the specimen according to formula (1).
5.2.4 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)
Purity is ≥99%. It shall not contain phenylhydrazone that affects the determination
results of this method. If there is, it shall be deducted from the measurement.
5.2.5 Aldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone mixed standard solution (15μg/mL)
Aldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone mixed standard solution, includes
formaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, acetaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone.
The solvent is acetonitrile. The corresponding mass concentrations of formaldehyde
and acetaldehyde are both 15μg/mL. This solution is a commercially available standard
solution. Store it prior to use in accordance with the storage instructions provided by
the supplier.
5.2.6 Aldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone mixed standard solution A (0.6μg/mL)
Transfer 1.0mL of aldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone mixed standard solution (5.2.5)
into a 25mL volumetric flask. Dilute to constant volume with acetonitrile (5.2.2). Shake
well.
5.2.7 Dilute hydrochloric acid (1mol/L)
Pipette 9mL of hydrochloric acid (5.2.3) into a 100mL volumetric flask. Use grade one
water to set constant volume. Prepare dilute hydrochloric acid solution of which its
concentration is about 1mol/L.
5.2.8 DNPH solution [0.036% (mass fraction)]
Accurately weigh 0.0180g of DNPH (5.2.4), accurate to 0.1mg. Place in a 50mL
volumetric flask. Add dilute hydrochloric acid (5.2.7) to near the mark. Ultrasound
20min. After the solid dissolves, dilute to constant volume with dilute hydrochloric acid
(5.2.7).
5.3 Instruments and equipment
5.3.1 High performance liquid chromatograph: equipped with ultraviolet detector. The
peak height produced by formaldehyde with the minimum determination content

5.3.2 Analytical balance: accuracy is 0.1mg.
5.3.3 Ultrasonic cleaner.
5.3.4 Chromatographic column: see Table 1 for recommended chromatographic
columns.
5.4 Instrument operating conditions
Recommended typical operating conditions are shown in Table 1. A typical
Turn on the chromatograph and make necessary adjustments. Set the instrument
parameters according to the typical operating conditions shown in Table 1 or other
