Nonylcyclohexanol polyoxyethylene ethers (NCEO_n) are novel potential upgraded products for replacing the non-eco-friendly nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers (NPEO_n). The product qualities of NCEO_n were determined revolving the residual nonylcyclohexanol (NC) by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (NP HPLC), the polyethylene glycol (PEG) content by Weilbull procedure and the polydispersity index (PDI) by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) technique. An NP HPLC program was finally proposed for rapidly determining the residual NC in NCEO_n by combining an Inertsil NH₂ column, a refractive index detector with the eluent of ethyl acetate on the basis of five preliminary experiments of NP HPLC and reversed phase HPLC. This setup achieves a recovery of 91.77%~107.6%, a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.59%~4.46% and a limit of detection (LOD) 9.8 μg/mL. NCEO₇ and NCEO₉ contain 0.158% and 0.139% of NC, and 7.1% and 7.3% of PEG, respectively, which indicates that the NCEO_n products have good qualities with a low NC residue, a low PEG content and a narrow distribution characteristic. Therefore, NCEO_n is a potential substitute of NPEO_n used in daily chemicals such as cosmetics, personal care products and toiletries.
