Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical analysis and detection technology, specifically to a method for preparing a solid-phase microextraction coating and a method for detecting volatile substances in polypropylene by combining the coating with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Background Technology
[0002] Polypropylene (PP) resin possesses excellent comprehensive properties and is lightweight and inexpensive, making it widely used in automotive interior parts. While existing PP resins can generally meet the performance requirements for automotive interior materials, the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by PP resins and their products is still influenced by monomers, catalysts, polymerization processes, and degradation. This not only pollutes the environment but also produces odors that can harm health. Therefore, determining the types and contents of volatile substances in PP resins is of great significance.
[0003] There are various pretreatment methods for the extraction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as purge-and-trap (dynamic headspace), static headspace, thermal desorption, and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Combining these with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) can achieve the separation and qualitative and quantitative analysis of VOC components. In recent years, SPME technology has been widely used for the extraction of VOCs from food, pharmaceuticals, air, soil, and water. Compared with traditional sample pretreatment methods, SPME has advantages such as no need for organic solvents, simplicity and convenience, rapid testing, and integration of sampling, extraction, concentration, and injection. The type of extraction head is the most important factor determining the effectiveness of SPME. Different extraction heads adsorbing the same sample will yield different quantities and concentrations of VOCs, mainly due to differences in parameters such as the coating material of different extraction heads. Currently, commonly used commercial solid-phase microextraction (SPE) heads include polymethylsiloxane (PDMS) extraction heads, polyacrylate (PA) extraction heads, polydimethylsiloxane and polydivinylbenzene (PDMS / DVB) extraction heads, and polydivinylbenzene / activated carbon / polydimethylsiloxane (DVB / CAR / PDMS) three-layer composite extraction heads. However, traditional fiber coatings still suffer from problems such as low absorption capacity, poor stability, short service life (generally about 40-100 times), and high price. Therefore, developing SPE heads with strong extraction capacity and easy preparation for the determination of volatile substances has become a new direction for development. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above, the main objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a solid-phase microextraction coating and a method for detecting volatile substances in polypropylene by combining the coating with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot completely extract and accurately quantify volatile substances in polypropylene resin.

[0029] Specifically, the method for preparing the solid-phase microextraction coating provided by this invention includes the following steps:
[0030] (1) Preparation of fiber coating for solid-phase microextraction
[0031] A suspension is prepared by dissolving a mixture of MIL-101(Cr) adsorbent and binder in a solvent. The suspension is then thoroughly agitated and sonicated. A stainless steel wire is immersed in the suspension and slowly removed, leaving a coating on its surface. The solvent is then allowed to evaporate. This coating process is repeated several times until the desired thickness is achieved.
[0032] (2) Solid-phase microextraction for the extraction of volatile substances
[0033] Solid-phase microextraction (SPE) was used to extract volatile substances from the sample: A certain amount of PP resin sample was weighed into a 15 mL headspace vial and sealed tightly. After equilibration at a certain temperature for a certain time, the SPE fiber coating was inserted into the headspace of the sample vial for extraction for a certain time. Then, it was immediately removed and inserted into the gas chromatograph injection port for desorption at 250 °C.
[0034] (3) Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze and detect the extracted volatile substances.
[0035] (4) Perform qualitative analysis on the measured volatile substances, and then perform quantitative analysis on various volatile substances by external standard method: prepare a series of standard solutions, establish standard curves of concentration and peak area, and calculate the content of each volatile substance.
[0036] The solid-phase microextraction fiber coating provided by this invention is made by coating a stainless steel wire with a metal-organic framework material MIL-101(Cr) and a binder. Volatile compounds in polypropylene are then extracted. After extraction, the fiber coating is subjected to headspace derivatization, and finally, the extracted volatile compounds are detected and analyzed by GC-MS. The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0037] (1) Sample pretreatment using solid phase microextraction fiber coating has a better extraction effect than commonly used commercial solid phase microextraction heads, and is comparable to three-in-one extraction heads. However, the solid phase microextraction fiber coating has a long service life and can be reused 160 times.
[0038] (2) The prepared solid-phase microextraction fiber-coated fiber was coupled with GC-MS, and the influencing factors were optimized. The external standard method was used to accurately quantify the volatile substances in polypropylene resin. The linear range of esters, alcohols, alkanes, and aldehydes was relatively wide, and R 2 All values were above 0.99, indicating good linearity. The recoveries of each type of substance were between 80% and 110%, demonstrating high accuracy. The RSD was below 2%, indicating good reproducibility. The limits of detection (LODs) were relatively low: 0.3 μg / kg for aldehydes, 1.1 μg / kg for esters, 1.1 μg / kg for alcohols, and 0.6 μg / kg for alkanes. In summary, this method is highly sensitive, reproducible, accurate, and reliable, providing scientific support for tracing the sources of odor in polypropylene resin and researching measures to improve odor.

[0045] The following provides a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention: These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provide detailed implementation methods and processes. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions.
[0046] Example 1
[0047] Preparation and optimization of solid-phase microextraction fiber coatings
[0048] Extraction efficiency and repeatability are the two most important aspects of solid-phase microextraction fiber coatings in practical applications, and both are related to the ratio of MIL-101(Cr) to binder. The binder gives the MIL-101(Cr) solution adhesiveness, allowing it to adhere better to the stainless steel wire. However, excessive polysulfone can affect the extraction efficiency; therefore, the ratio of MIL-101(Cr) to polysulfone was investigated.
[0049] A mixture of MIL-101(Cr) powder and polysulfone in weight ratios of 9:1, 7:3, and 5:5 was dissolved in a mixture of DMC and DMF to prepare a suspension. The suspensions were agitated thoroughly for 7 minutes and then ultrasonically vibrated for 40 minutes. A stainless steel wire with a diameter of 130 μm and a length of 2 cm was then immersed in each of the three suspensions and slowly removed, forming a thin coating on the surface of the wire. The wire was then placed in an oven and dried at 40°C for 30 minutes to allow dichloromethane to evaporate. This coating process was repeated several times until the coating thickness on the three stainless steel wires was approximately 50 μm. Finally, the three fiber coatings were aged at 250°C for 40 minutes at the GC inlet.
[0050] The extraction efficiency of different fiber coatings was evaluated by using a standard of 1 mg / kg undecane and the extraction yield at 60℃ for 20 min. To investigate reproducibility, the extracted fiber coatings were thermally desorbed into a gas chromatograph at 250℃ for 5 min until the analyte peak was undetectable before being reused in the next extraction cycle. The extraction results are shown in Table 1.
[0051] Table 1. Effect of MIL-101 (Cr) ratio on extraction efficiency
[0052] weight ratio Extraction volume (mg / kg) 9:1 0.988 7:3 0.837 5:5 0.623
[0053] Table 1 shows that when the MIL-101(Cr) content on the stainless steel wire is 90%, 70%, and 50%, the extraction capacity gradually decreases, meaning that the extraction efficiency increases with the increase of the MIL-101(Cr) proportion. On the other hand, from... Figure 1It can be seen that a high proportion of MIL-101(Cr) and a low content of polysulfone lead to reduced adhesion, increased difficulty in coating preparation, and consequently, poorer coating stability. When the proportion of MIL-101(Cr) is 70%, the extraction efficiency of the analyte remains largely unchanged after 150 repeated uses of the fiber coating, demonstrating that the fiber coating exhibits excellent reproducibility and stability.

[0055] Optimization of various influencing factors in solid-phase microextraction process
[0056] Since the extraction effect of solid-phase microextraction is affected by factors such as sample amount, extraction time, and extraction temperature, this embodiment uses a self-made solid-phase microextraction fiber coating to extract volatile substances from polypropylene resin. Based on the total number and total peak area of volatile substances, the effects of different sample amounts, extraction adsorption times, and extraction temperatures on the extraction effect of volatile substances from polypropylene resin are compared, and optimized parameters are determined.

Then, insert a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) head (see Table 5 for head type) into the headspace vial, positioning the head 1.0 cm above the sample, and allow extraction and adsorption to proceed for 30 min. Immediately after extraction, insert the head into the gas chromatograph inlet and desorb at 250 °C for 5 min. Finally, perform separation and detection using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system. Four different types of extraction heads were tested independently.

[0114] As shown in Table 5, the number and content of volatile substances adsorbed by different extraction heads are not the same. Among them, the self-made solid phase microextraction fiber coating and the 50 / 30μm DVB / CAR / PDMS extraction head have basically the same extraction effect in terms of the number of peaks and peak area, which is significantly better than the other two extraction heads. This indicates that the self-made solid phase microextraction fiber coating can comprehensively extract volatile compounds in polypropylene.
