Abstract

Methods for determination of glycerol and its electrooxidation products (neutral diols and carboxylates) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with dual capacitively coupled contacdess conductivity detectors (C4D) are presented. Glycerol, dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde were detected as anionic borate complexes in less than 3 min under counter Electroosmotic Flow (EOF) mode (resolution of the critical pair of 1.8). Limits of detection (LODs) of 15, 15 and 10 mu mol L-1 were obtained for glycerol, dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde, respectively. Two methods of separation were used for the separation of carboxylates. The first one used the same Back Ground Electrolyte (BGE) containing borate, and the second used a BGE (pH 6.1) composed by 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (IVIES), L-Histidine and a flow modifier. Better separation and LODs for carboxylates were obtained using Mes/Histidine as BGE. However, along with the non -applicability of this BGE to the determination of neutral diols, observation of the (CD)-D-4 signals at two different points of the capillary (10 and 50 cm apart from the injection tip) revealed interaction of the flow modifier with some species (mesoxalate and glyoxylate). The electrooxidation of a glycerol sample in alkaline media on an 8 cm(2) gold working electrode was evaluated by the developed methods. After 16 h of electrolysis, 87% of the glycerol had been oxidized and formate, glycolate, hydroxypyruvate and glycerate were detected as the main products. (AU)
