SPME-GC-FID method development for analyzing cyclohexanone hydrogenation products

Abstract

This work presents a method development for analyzing electrocatalytic hydrogenation products of cyclohexanone with the simple, fast and accurate SPME, coupled with classic gas chromatographic methods using flame ionization detection. Preliminar method optimization was made using chemometric tools. LOD and LOQ obtained were 0.50% conversion or 0.78 mg L-1 and 1.20% conversion or 1.86 mg L-1 respectively. The analytical curve obtained displays good linearity (R2 = 0.9936). ©2009 Sociedade Brasileira de Química.
