  • The optimum analytical method of aldehydes, ozone by-products, was established by reverse phase liquid chromatography. Six aldehydes including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, propionaldehyde, butylaldehyde and benzaldehyde, and one ketone including acetone were selected as aldehyde test samples through preliminary experiments. Such analytical conditions as the pH of citrate buffer solution, reaction temperature, reaction time, and concentration of DNPH, the component and composition of desorption solvent were optimized. As the result, pH 3.0 of citrate buffer solution, 40$^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, 15 minutes of reaction time, and 0.012% of DNPH concentration were chosen as optimum conditions. Aldehydes-DNPH derivatives in water were concentrated on $C_18$ Sep-Pak cartridge and followed by elution of their derivatives fraction with THF/ACN(70/30) mixture, and showed recoveries of the range from 87 to 107%. Separation condition on Nova-Pak $C_18$ column with low pressure gradient elution from ACN/MeOH/water(30/10/60) of an initial condition to 80% ACN of a final condition was found to give a good resolution within 20 minutes of run time. 86% to 103% of recovery for aldehydes using this method was similar to that for aldehyde using EPA Method 554 which is ranged from 84% to 103%.
