Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil detection, and in particular to a method for detecting phenolic compounds in soil. Background Art

[0002] Phenolic compounds refer to compounds with hydroxyl groups on benzene rings or condensed rings. They are widely used in petrochemical, papermaking, pharmaceutical, pesticide and other fields. However, phenolic compounds are a class of highly toxic and carcinogenic organic pollutants. Industrially produced phenolic compounds can remain in the soil for a long time, causing soil environmental pollution and endangering human health through enrichment in the food chain. Countries around the world attach great importance to the environmental pollution of phenolic compounds. Phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, and 4,6-dinitro-4-methylphenol are listed in 129 environmental priority controlled organic pollutants. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a highly sensitive, accurate and rapid analysis method for the above phenolic compounds in soil.

[0003] At present, the commonly used analytical methods for phenolic compounds in soil are gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and high performance liquid chromatography. Phenolic compounds are highly polar, have poor peak shapes in gas chromatography, and have low sensitivity. They generally require derivatization, but the derivatization method is cumbersome and time-consuming. High performance liquid chromatography can directly measure phenolic compounds without the need for derivatization reactions, but high performance liquid chromatography only relies on retention time for qualitative analysis, so its qualitative ability is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method that is simple, convenient, sensitive, and accurate for detecting a variety of phenolic compounds in soil. Summary of the invention

[0081] Pipette an appropriate amount of the mixed standard working solution of phenolic compounds and dilute it with a mixed solvent of acetonitrile-water (1:1, v / v). The mass concentrations of 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, phenol, 4-nitrophenol, 3-cresol, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and pentachlorophenol in the standard solution are 10μg / L, 50.0μg / L, 100μg / L, 200μg / L, 500μg / L and 1000μg / L respectively.

[0082] According to the conditions under 1.2 of Example 1, the mixed standard series working solutions were injected in order from low concentration to high concentration, and the concentration of the target component in the mixed standard series solution was used as the horizontal axis and the corresponding peak area was used as the vertical axis to establish the linear regression equation of the standard curve. Among them, the total ion current of the mixed standard working solution with a concentration of 200.0 μg / L is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0083] 2.1.2 Qualitative analysis

[0084] According to the parent ions and daughter ions determined in Table 2, the absolute value of the relative deviation between the retention time of the target in the sample and the retention time of the target in the standard sample should be less than 2.5%; and the relative abundance of the qualitative and quantitative daughter ions of the target to be measured in the sample (Ksam, Formula 1) is compared with the relative abundance of the qualitative and quantitative daughter ions of the corresponding target in the standard solution with similar concentration (Kstd, Formula 2). The obtained deviation should be within the maximum allowable deviation range specified in Table 3, then it can be determined that the target exists in the sample.

[0085] Ksam=A2 / A1×100………………………………(1)

[0086] Where:

[0087] Ksam—relative abundance of a certain component in the sample, %;

[0097] 2.1.3 Quantitative analysis

[0098] The content of target compounds in soil was calculated by external standard method, and the content of phenolic compounds in soil (μg / kg) was calculated according to formula (3).

[0100] Where: i —Content of target compound in the sample, μg / kg;

[0101] ρ i —Mass concentration of target compound calculated from the calibration curve, μg / L;

[0102] V—sample fixed volume, mL;

[0103] m—soil sample mass (wet weight), g;

[0104] w dm —Dry matter content of soil sample, %.

[0105] 2.1.3 Calibration curve and detection limit

[0106] The concentration of the target component in the standard series solution is used as the horizontal coordinate, and the corresponding peak area is used as the vertical coordinate to establish the linear regression equation of the standard curve. 7 blank quartz sand spiked samples are analyzed continuously, and their standard deviation s is calculated. According to the Technical Guidelines for the Development of Environmental Monitoring Analysis Methods (HJ 168-2020), MDL = S × t (n-1,0.99) (Wherein: MDL is the method detection limit; n is the number of parallel determinations of the sample; t is the t distribution value when the degree of freedom is n-1 and the confidence level is 99%; S is the standard deviation of n parallel determinations) Calculate the method detection limit. The linear regression equation, correlation coefficient and method detection limit of phenolic compounds are shown in Table 4.

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] Note: - indicates that this compound is not tested in this standard

[0111] It can be seen from the above table that the linear correlation coefficients of each component are all above 0.995, and the method detection limits of 10 phenolic compounds are 0.2μg / kg~2μg / kg, which are much smaller than the detection limits of target compounds in "Gas Chromatography for Determination of Phenolic Compounds in Soil and Sediment" (HJ703-2014) and "Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry for Determination of Semi-volatile Organic Compounds in Soil and Sediment" (HJ 834-2017), which can fully meet the detection requirements of phenolic compounds in soil.

[0112] 2.2 Precision and Accuracy

[0113] The spiked recoveries of 10 phenolic compounds at three addition levels of 5 μg / kg, 20 μg / kg and 100 μg / kg in actual soil samples were investigated. The experimental method was used for six parallel determinations. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0114] Table 5 Precision and spike recovery test results of soil samples (n=6)

[0115]

[0116] The results showed that the average recoveries of the 10 phenolic compounds at three spike levels were 61.0% to 102.3%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.2% to 11.5%, which proved that the method had good accuracy and precision and could accurately determine the 10 phenolic compounds in soil.

[0117] Example 3 Sample Detection

[0118] The method provided by the present invention was used to test 20 soil samples from a chemical industry zone, and the results are shown in Table 6.

[0119] Table 6 Test results of positive soil samples (n=6)

[0120]

[0121]

[0122] Note: ND means the compound was not detected.

[0123] The results showed that 4 phenolic compounds, including phenol, 3-cresol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2-naphthol, were detected in 3 soil samples, with concentrations ranging from 0.53 to 21.21 μg / kg. No phenolic compounds were detected in the other 27 soil samples. The total ion current of the 3 positive samples is shown in the figure below. Figure 2-Figure 4 shown.

[0124] In summary, the present invention can directly determine phenolic compounds, which is simple and fast, solves the problems of poor peak shape and low sensitivity in gas chromatography, and complicated steps and long time consumption in derivatization-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
