3、ernaryammonium salts.This test method is intended for the analysisof quaternary ammonium salts used as disinfectants,and onlyapplies to the following commonly used quaternary ammoniumsalts:n-alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride(see Fig.1),cetyltrimethylammonium chloride,and a blend of n-octyldecyldi
4、methylammonium chloride,di-n-octyl dimethylammoniumchloride,and di-n-decyldimethyl ammonium chloride(see Fig.2).Also,this test method can be applied to the analysis ofdisinfectant type products where the formula ingredients areknown and the quaternary ammonium salt is one of the above.Interferences
