Title: Determination of synthetic antioxidants using HPLC with electrochemical detection on carbon felt detector Author: Martin Baroch Supervisor: RNDr. Hana Dejmková, Ph.D. Department: Department of Analytical Chemistry The aim of this work was to find suitable conditions for HPLC separation with subsequent coulometric detection on a carbon felt detector. The analytes were synthetic phenolic antioxidants, specifically propyl gallate (PG), tert-Butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). For the complete separation of the analytes, gradient elution was required. As a mobile phase methanol and acetate-phosphate buffer of pH 4.5 were used. Concentration of methanol in mobile phase was linearly increased from 55 % to 95 % during 8 minutes and next 2 minutes was concentration of methanol held at 95 %. As a stationary phase was used Lichrospher® RP- 18 (125×4 mm, 5 µm) (LichroCART) column. Potentials putted on a carbon-fiber working electrode were 1.40 V for BHT and 0.80 V for other analytes. Two potentials were chosen for a better detector response to BHT. The calibration dependence of the signal on the concentration was observed in the concentration range of · 10-4 - 1 · 10-6 mol dm-3 for all analytes. In this range the dependencies are linear.
