Two distinctly different capillary gas chromatographic methods were used to determine the vapor pressure of 8-2 fluorotelomer alcohol (8-2 FTOH) and 1-H perfluoroheptane at several temperatures. For measurements employing the relative retention-time method, a short polymethylsiloxane column was used from 25 to 65 degrees C. For the 8-2 FTOH, hydrocarbon alcohols and perfluoroalcohols were used as reference standards. For 1-H perfluoroheptane, hydrocarbons were used as reference standards. Vapor pressure estimates could differ by as much as an order of magnitude compared to published results determined by other (nonchromatographic) methods. This variance may be a function of solvent-solute interactions within the gas chromatographic column and the infinite dilution assumption, both used in the relative retention method. For comparison, data were also gathered using headspace gas chromatography (GC) with atomic emission detection (AED). The results from this novel GC/AED method were consistent with prior nonchromatographic results. A discussion of why headspace is the preferred technique for the determination of vapor pressure for fluorinated compounds is presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
