Abstract:

The aim of this study was to develop an analytical method capable to determine mercaptans in air at low concentrations, lower than the ones that produce an
olfactory discomfort. A reliable, rapid, and simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the determination of mercaptans, a sulphur compounds class. The developed method can be successfully
applied to the quantitative determination of four compounds (Methyl mercaptan, Butyl mercaptan, Ethyl mercaptan and Propyl mercaptan).
