Trace Monitoring of Ketene Produced in Gas Phase Reactions.

摘要

A simple, sensitive analytical method for measuring trace quantity of ketene in a gas sample has been developed in the course of studying photochemistry of 3-oxetanone. Ketene is reacted efficiently with methanol to give methylacetate which is separated by gas chromatography and detected by flame ionization detector. Since ketene is present as an air pollutant, this method can be used for its monitoring. (Author)
