Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques are proposed for qualitative analysis of lubricating oil additives (Hitec 2915). The additives were dissolved in heptanes, extracted with mixed solvents heptane: acetonitrile (3:2) and spotted on TLC paper. The best combination solvents as developer for TLC analysis were carbon tetrachloride: heptanes (9:1) mixture. Each separated streak was scraped, redissolved in acetonitrile and evaporated to 0.5 ml volume then analyzed by GC-MS for identification. Fourteen compounds[2-Ethyl-1-hexanol; 2-(t-butyl)-phenol; 2,4-bis-(t-butyl)-1-methoxy benzene; 2,6-bis-(t-Butyl)-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione; 2,4-bis-(t-Butyl)-phenol; 3,5-bis-(t-Butyl)-phenol; Decanoic acid methyl ester; Tridecanol; 1,1-Diphenyl hydrazine; 1,2-Benzene dicarboxylic acid dibutyle ester; S-Triazol 1, 5-A-pyridine 8-amino 2-phenyl; Phenol-2, 6-bis-(t-butyl); Phenol-2,5-bis-(tbutyl); Phenol-2,4,6-Tris-(t-butyl)]were identified in this study. The mass spectral data obtained for each separated compound were compared with the standard spectral data (library search similarity) of each compound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
