1,2-dichlorobenzene
1,2-dichlorobenzene is a chlorinated liquid used as a degreasing agent and in dye production. It is most often measured using GC/ECD, ELCD and GC/MS methods.
1,2-dichlorobenzene: CAS No. 95-50-1, C6H4Cl2, molecular weight 147.00, boiling point 180.1°C, density 1.31gm/mL, vapor pressure 1.36mm Hg at 25°C, flash point 68°C, autoignition temperature 648°C, slightly water soluble is a colorless to yellowish liquid formerly used as a solvent in pesticides, used as a degreasing agent and in manufacturing dyes. It is most frequently measured in water, oil and soil to comply with environmental regulations. Due to its volatility, it is most often measured using GC/ECD, ELCD and GC/MS methods specified by regulatory agencies like the U.S. EPA.
Sixty regulated VOCs are determined in water by purge and trap GC with PID/ELCD detection.
Separation of Para- and Meta-Xylene on Capillary GC ColumnPara- and meta-xylene were more completely resolved on a Carbowax capillary column than on columns typically used for this determination.
