A method is described for the quantitative determination of linear alkylene oxide-fatty alcohol condensates, nonionic surface active agents in water. Surface active agent is extracted from water samples with benzene. Surfactant is further extracted by salting out into chloroform. Capillary, supercri

โฆ Synopsis
The ether groups of ethylene oxide, and/or propylene oxide-fatty alcohol condensates were cleaved by reaction with 50% hydrobromic acid (in glacial acetic acid) in sealed Pyrex glass tubes. The resulting alkyl bromides were extracted with carbon disulphide and chromatographed on 5% OV-210 columns. Peak areas were used to determine the number of moles of alkylene oxide in the condensate. A series of ethylene oxide-fatty alcohol condensates were tested, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained from nuclear magnetic resonance methods, A further series of products consisting of mixed alkylene (ethylene and propylene) oxide-fatty alcohol condensates were also examined.

A convenient and reliable gas-liquid chromatographic method for determining the free fatty acids in biological specimens is described. The free fatty acids were extracted with hexane in the presence of H3PO4 and then back-extracted from the hexane phase into a very small volume of trimethyl (alpha,
