Methods of formaldehyde analysis

Abstract

The literature data on the methods of formaldehyde analysis are generalized. Chromatographic, colorimetric, titrimetric, polarographic, biochemical and spectral methods are discussed. A complex analytical solution of the material balance of the reaction of conjugated dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde in the presence of hydrogen peroxide is proposed.
