16、 affect cold weather operation and filter plugging.6. Interferences6.1 Interferences can be caused by substances with similarion chromatographic retention times, especially if they are inhigh concentration compared to the analyte of interest. Sampledilution can be used to minimize or resolve most in

17、terferenceproblems.Also, an excess of unreacted hydroxide (base) duringthe sample preparation step for total glycerin can cause a pHimbalance on the anion exchange column, resulting in anegative dip in front of the glycerin peak.6.2 A water dip (system void, negative peak as shown inFig. 1) can caus

18、e interference with some integrators. This dipcan be eliminated by dilution with the eluent. The water dipshould not be a problem since the glycerin peak is resolvedfrom the void peak.6.3 Interferences can be caused by contamination of glass-ware, eluent, reagents, etc. Take care to ensure that cont

19、ami-nation is kept at the lowest possible levels. The use of nitrilegloves is highly recommended to prevent contamination duringsample preparation.6.4 There are several known additives based on naturalproducts that might have similar retention times and detectorresponse similar to glycerin. In the c

20、ase of higher thanexpected values for biodiesel blends, it is highly recommendedthat the user needs to verify these higher than expected valuesfor glycerin using a different analytical technique.6.5 Pre-rinsing of the sample preparation containers withdeionized water is mandatory.7.
