The invention provides a
gas phase nicotine calibrating apparatus and a method thereof. The apparatus comprises an
air compressor, a steam-water separator, an up and a down
air channel, a high temperature evaporating chamber, and a low temperature condensation chamber; a buckle shaped
pipe is inserted between the evaporating chamber and the condensation chamber, the upper
air channel is communicated with a straight
pipe of the buckle shaped
pipe which is inserted in the evaporating chamber, and the down
air channel enters the evaporating chamber through a normal bend and a pipe orifice is located below the liquid level. Calibration of concentration of
nicotine in the solution after the
solvent is evaporated at different temperatures can be realized, that is by means of a
temperature difference between the evaporating chamber and the condensation chamber, high temperature
gas phase nicotine molecules and high temperature
propylene glycol molecules are condensed into
liquid phase in the condensation chamber, a
citric acid-
ethanol solution in the condensation chamber is used for absorbing nicotine and
propylene glycol, and excellent dissolvability of CH2Cl2 for nicotine is used for extracting nicotine; finally,
quinoline is used as an
internal standard substance in order to carry out gas chromatograph, and
evaporation concentrations of nicotine in a nicotine-
propylene glycol system under the condition with different temperatures can be calculated.
