The invention discloses a method for detecting the content of diethyl phosphite in an FRC-6
flame retardant. The detection method comprises the following steps: adding
carbon tetrachloride, 4-dodecylaniline and
triethylamine into an FRC-6
flame retardant sample, uniformly shaking, heating in a constant-temperature water bath kettle at 70 DEG C for 15 minutes, derivatizing diethyl phosphite to obtain a diethyl phosphite
derivatization reaction product, and detecting by adopting a liquid
chromatography external standard method and a quantitative method. According to the method, diethyl phosphite in the FRC-6
flame retardant sample is derivatized through
carbon tetrachloride and 4-dodecylaniline, then the content of the FRC-6 flame retardant sample is measured through a liquid
chromatography external standard method, the
relative standard deviation RSD of the measurement result is smaller than 3.3%, the precision is high, the analysis and test method is simple, consumed time is short, multiple groups of parallel test results of the method are close, and the method is suitable for industrial production. The method has the advantages of simple operation, good
repeatability and high accuracy, the adding standard
recovery rate is 95-105%, the
recovery rate is stable, the method is suitable for popularization and application, and tests show that the detection method is also suitable for determining the content of diethyl phosphite in other
phosphate esters.
