Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Chlorpyriphos in Dursban Insecticide Formulations
Keyword(s):
Abstract A simple and rapid gas-liquid chromatographic method, using flame ionization detection and a column packed with OV-17/QF-1 on Gas-Chrom Q, is described. Chlorpyriphos is extracted from the formulation with chloroform, and dieldrin is added as an internal standard. The sample extract is injected into a gas chromatograph, and peak height ratios are used for quantitative measurement. Applicacation of the method to commercial samples gives good precision. The gas chromatographic procedure is far superior to the total chloride method for the determination of chlorpyriphos and yields values in close agreement to those obtained by infrared and colorimetric methods.
