The invention relates to a method for separating and detecting
ethyl valerate and impurities thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
quality control of
ethyl valerate. The invention provides a method for separating and detecting
ethyl valerate and impurities thereof, which adopts a gas chromatographic method, and adopts a
capillary column with nitro
terephthalic acid esterified
polyethylene glycol as a stationary liquid as a
chromatographic column; temperature
programming is adopted, and the temperature raising program is as follows: the initial temperature is 30-50 DEG C and is maintained for 5-10 minutes, and the temperature is raised to 180-220 DEG C at the speed of 10-30 DEG C per minute and is maintained for 2-10 minutes. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that effective separation and detection of the ethyl
valerate and impurities of the ethyl
valerate such as
valeric acid,
ethanol, ethyl n-
butyrate,
ethyl isovalerate, ethyl n-hexanoate, ethyl n-
propionate and
ethyl acetate can be realized at the same time, the
quality control efficiency is improved, the analysis cost is saved, the separation degree and the sensitivity can meet the requirements of accurate detection, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. And the possibility is provided for more comprehensive
quality control of the ethyl
valerate.
