Performance of a 2,4-DNPH coated annular denuder/HPLC system for formaldehyde monitoring in air
1999
The performance of annular denuders coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine for collection of atmospheric HCHO has been evaluated by HPLC/UV analysis of samples coming from laboratory tests and field experiments. A number of parameters, such as collection efficiency at varying air humidity, detection limit, operative capacity and temporal self-consistency have been investigated to optimize the denuder behaviour under different weather conditions and to obtain short-term concentration profiles of HCHO. Deviations between measurements made simultaneously by the DNPH denuder method and differential optical absorption spectrometry (DOAS) have been found to average approximately 30% in the 0–5 ppb HCHO concentration range.
