This Part of BS 6392 describes a titrimetric method for estimation of the content of carbonyl compounds present in moderate amounts in ethanol for industrial use.
The method is applicable to products having carbonyl com-pounds contents, expressed as acetaldehyde, equal to or greater than 0,01 % (m/m).
NOTE 1 —This method, which is used commercially, allows determination of only those carbonyl compounds which react under the specified conditions.
NOTE 2 —The title of the publication referred to in this standard is given on page 3.
