Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soil and sediment detection technology, specifically relating to a method for determining methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate in soil and sediment. Background Technology
[0002] Methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate are widely used organic chemical raw materials, extensively used in plastics, coatings, adhesives, and other fields. These substances are volatile and toxic, and can easily enter the soil and sediment environment through leakage and volatilization during production, transportation, and disposal, posing a potential threat to ecosystems and human health. With the deepening of soil pollution prevention and control efforts in my country, accurate detection of these pollutants in soil and sediments is a crucial technical foundation for conducting pollution investigations, risk assessments, and remediation.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream detection technique for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in environmental samples is purge-trap-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PCMS). This method is highly sensitive, requires no organic solvent extraction, and has been widely used for multi-component screening of matrices such as water and soil. However, existing methods are mostly designed for broad-spectrum VOCs, and there are significant shortcomings in the specific detection of methyl acrylate (MEA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA): First, they are not well-suited to complex matrices such as soil and sediments, and are easily affected by humus and minerals, resulting in large fluctuations in recovery rates and poor accuracy. Second, they lack detection sensitivity and specificity; some methods have high detection limits, making it difficult to detect trace amounts, and the chromatographic separation parameters are not specifically optimized, leading to peak overlap and false positives. Third, the standardization of the methods is low, with inconsistent operating procedures throughout the process, resulting in poor repeatability of results from different laboratories, which is not conducive to widespread application.
[0004] Furthermore, my country's current environmental standards system lacks specific standards for the detection of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate in soil and sediments. Existing methods are mostly industry-specific or enterprise-internal, suffering from inconsistencies in parameters and insufficient validation data, thus failing to provide standardized and reliable technical support for soil pollution prevention and control. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a detection method that is adaptable to soil and sediment matrices, highly specific, highly sensitive, and with standardized procedures to fill the current technological gap and provide solid technical support for environmental monitoring and pollution control. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this invention proposes a method for determining methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate in soil and sediments. The method optimizes the entire detection process based on the matrix characteristics of soil and sediments, and is adapted to both types of samples from sample collection and preservation, pretreatment to instrument parameter settings. It can effectively eliminate matrix interference, and no target substances are detected in blank samples. It can be specifically applied to the detection of two target substances in soil and sediments, and is suitable for the application needs of actual environmental monitoring.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: to provide a method for determining methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate in soil and sediments, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Samples were collected in accordance with soil and sediment sampling specifications, and the moisture content of the collected samples was determined.
[0008] Add internal standard solution and substitute standard solution to the sample vial containing the sample to complete the sample pretreatment;
[0009] The pretreated sample was transferred into a purge trap and subjected to purge, dry purge, thermal desorption and baking treatment in sequence. The analyte after thermal desorption was then introduced into a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer.
[0010] The analytes were separated using gas chromatography with split injection and programmed temperature, and the data were acquired using mass spectrometry in full scan mode.
[0011] Qualitative analysis was performed using the retention time and characteristic ions of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate. An internal standard method was used, and a working curve was established with the ratio of the target analyte to the internal standard content as the x-axis and the ratio of the target analyte quantitative ion response value to the internal standard response value as the y-axis to complete the quantitative detection.
[0012] Furthermore, in S1, the samples are transported under refrigeration after collection, sealed and stored below 4°C, and the test is completed within 7 days; the moisture content is determined by taking a quantitative sample, drying it at a constant temperature to a constant weight, and then converting it into the ratio of the mass difference of the sample before and after drying to the mass of the sample before drying.
[0013] Furthermore, in S2, the standard solution for the substitute is a mixed solution containing dibromofluoromethane, toluene-d8, and 4-bromofluorobenzene, with methanol as the solvent, and the mass concentration of each component is 23-27 mg / L.
[0014] Furthermore, in S2, the internal standard solution is a mixed solution containing fluorobenzene, chlorobenzene-d5, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene-d4, with each component having a mass concentration of 25 mg / L, using methanol as the solvent.
[0015] Furthermore, in S3, the processing conditions of the purge and trap instrument are as follows: purge sample volume 5 mL, purge flow rate 38-42 mL / min, purge temperature 38-42℃, purge time 10-12 min, dry purge time 1.5-2.5 min; pre-desorption temperature of the trap tube 240-250℃, desorption temperature 240-260℃, desorption time 1.5-2.5 min, baking temperature 270-280℃, baking time 10-12 min; the purge gas is high-purity nitrogen, and the carrier gas for backflushing the trap tube is high-purity nitrogen.
[0016] Furthermore, in S4, the gas chromatography detection conditions are as follows: the chromatographic column is a DB-624 quartz capillary column with dimensions of 60m×250μm×1.4μm; the injection port temperature is 210-230℃, the injection is in split mode with a split ratio of 60:1; the column flow rate is 1.0-1.2mL / min; the temperature program is as follows: initial temperature 35-40℃ held for 1.5-2min, temperature increased to 110-120℃ at 8-12℃ / min, and then temperature increased to 230-250℃ at 13-17℃ / min and held for 5-7min.
[0017] Furthermore, in S4, the mass spectrometry detection conditions are as follows: ion source temperature is 225-235℃, transfer line temperature is 240-260℃, quadrupole temperature is 150-160℃; ion source electron energy is 70-80eV, mass scan range is 35~270amu; and data acquisition mode is full scan.
[0018] Further, in S5, the internal standard used in the internal standard method is fluorobenzene, with a mass concentration of 50.0 μg / L. Methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate standard solutions, along with the substitute standard solution, are added to blank reagent water to prepare a series of standard solutions with concentrations of 10.0, 20.0, 50.0, 100, and 200 μg / L. A portion of the standard solution is placed in a sample vial, and the internal standard solution is added to bring the internal standard mass concentration to 50.0 μg / L. The concentrations are measured sequentially from low to high according to instrument conditions, and the retention times and quantitative ion response values of the target analyte and the internal standard are recorded. A working curve is established with the ratio of the target analyte to the internal standard content as the abscissa and the ratio of the target analyte to the internal standard response value as the ordinate.
[0019] Furthermore, the methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate standard solutions are prepared by stepwise dilution of a mixed standard solution of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate in methanol to obtain standard solutions with a mass concentration of 25 mg / L. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0041] 4. Method Validation
[0042] Method Principles
[0043] Volatile organic compounds in the sample were concentrated in a collection tube after purging with high-purity nitrogen. The collection tube was then heated and backflushed with high-purity helium. The thermally desorbed components were introduced into a gas chromatograph, separated, and then detected by a mass spectrometer. Qualitative analysis was performed by comparing the mass spectra with those of the target analyte standard and by using retention times, while quantification was performed using the internal standard method.
[0044] Sample collection and preservation
[0045] Soil and sediment samples should be collected in accordance with the relevant provisions of HJ / T 166 and GB17378.3, respectively. Portable instruments for volatile organic compound (VOC) determination can be used on-site to initially screen samples for target analyte content. At least three parallel samples should be collected for each sample, and an additional sample should be collected in a 60 mL sample bottle (or a larger size sample bottle) to determine the VOC content and moisture content of the high-content sample.
[0046] Before sampling, place a clean magnetic stir bar in each 40 mL brown sample bottle, seal it, label it, and weigh it (accurate to 0.01 g). Record the weight and indicate it on the label. During sampling, use a sampler to collect an appropriate amount of sample into the sample bottle, quickly remove any sample adhering to the threads and outer surface of the sample bottle, and seal the sample bottle.
[0047] Samples should be transported under refrigeration after collection. They should be analyzed as soon as possible after being returned to the laboratory. The laboratory storage area should be free from inorganic substances, and samples should be stored below 4°C for up to 7 days.
[0048] Determination of sample moisture content
[0049] Take 5 g (accurate to 0.01) of sample and dry it at (105±5)℃ for at least 6 h. Calculate the moisture content by dividing the difference in sample mass before and after drying by the sample mass before drying and then multiplying by 100. (%), accurate to 0.1%.
