Method 57

4,4'-Methylenedianiline (MDA)


This method is for the determination of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA). The sample is collected on two sulfuric acid-treated glass fiber filters. After collection the filters are added to separate glass vials containing 2 mL of deionized water in order to enhance the stability of the collected samples. The addition of the water should occur within 10 hours of sample collection. The samples are extracted with 1.0 mL of 0.5 N NaOH and 2.0 mL of toluene. The sample is analyzed by GC/ECD (electron capture detector).
