Summary Multivariate analysis was used to develop a viable method for determination of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS) by Curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography. The pyrograms obtained were normalized against a maximum peak area and peak height. Normalized values were used for Quantification IV, which is one of the multivariate analysis methods, to select useful values initially. Then cluster analysis was carried out using both the selected values and their deviations. This method corresponds to qualitative analysis and indicates which data-base is similar to the sample. On the basis of this data-base, calibration data-bases are chosen. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using the calibration data-base and a set of sample data simultaneously. The principal component scores and contribution coefficients obtained were used to construct a calibration curve from which the DBS content of the sample was calculated. The results are in fair agreement with theoretical values.
