GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL IN USED CRANKCASE OILS

THERE ARE CASES WHERE THE PRESENCE OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL COOLANT IN THE CRANKCASE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE MAY CAUSE COMPLETE SEIZURE OF THE ENGINE. A SIMPLE RAPID, AND ACCURATE PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GLYCOL IN CRANKCASE OIL IS OFFERED. THE METHOD INVOLVES THE CONVERSION OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL TO ITS TRIMETHYLSILYL DERIVATIVE AND ITS SUBSEQUENT CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS WITH AN INTERNAL STANDARD, 1, 4-BUTANEDIOL. /AUTHOR/
