Method 78

N-Isopropylaniline and Diphenylamine


This method describes the sample collection and analysis of n-isopropylamine and diphenylamine. Samples are collected closed-face by drawing known volumes of air through sampling devices consisting of three-piece cassettes, each containing two sulfuric acid-treated glass fiber filters separated by a spacer. Analysis is performed by extracting the filters with methyl alcohol and analyzing the free amines by high-performance liquid chromatography using an ultraviolet detector. Diphenylamine samples should be refrigerated until analyzed to help minimize loss of analyte during storage.
