Hexachloroethane Purity and Assay in Smoke Mix by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

An HPLC method for analysis of hexachloroethane purity and its percent by weight in smoke mixes was investigated, developed and tested. The HPLC method has been shown to be faster, more efficient and safer. A precision and accuracy study indicates the method to be accurate and reliable. The method involves analysis in acetonitrile solution on a reverse phase C-18 column using a UV detector set at 215 nm. Keywords: Hexachlorethane; Smoke analysis; Smoke; High pressure liquid chromatography; White smoke mixes.
