Dear all, could you help me with finding the best method to detect formaldehyde in a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol and hydrogen? Do you think GC works in this case?
Hi Davoud, a common method for qualitative and quantitative detection of aldehydes is derivatization with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine and analysis by HPLC (e.g. https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/applications/5991-1545EN.pdf). Greetings Markus
