| Abstract: | Polarographic Determination of Hydroperoxides in Oils The application of direct current polarography for the determination of hydroperoxides in oils has the following advantages over other methods: 1) specific for the hydroperoxides, 2) independent of the structure of hydroperoxides, 3) even very small amounts (upto 10?6 mol/1) are detectable and 4) relatively short time is required. In comparison to chemical determination the accuracy of the polarographic determination is ± 3% and in case of very small hydroperoxide content (<10?5 mol/1), it is ± 10%. |
