Abstract
WORK involving the use of aliphatic amines in aqueous solutions is usually carried out in glass apparatus. We have found that in the case of n-dodecylamine a significant decrease in the concentration occurs at pH values greater than 7 due to adsorption of the amine at the glass-water interface. A larger decrease occurs if a plastic, such as polyethylene, is in contact with the solution.
