Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental monitoring, and in particular relates to a rapid solvent extraction detection method for perfluorinated substitutes in soil and sediment. Background Art
[0002] Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds are mainly used in food packaging, non-stick pan coatings, outdoor clothing, furniture, foam fire extinguishers, coatings and electroplating industries, and play a wide range of indispensable roles. There are 4,730 perfluorinated compounds used in the market, which have the advantages of strong carbon-fluorine bonds, acid and alkali resistance, low surface tension, hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. Studies have found that these traditional perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds have multiple toxicities such as liver toxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, endocrine disruption and potential carcinogenicity, and their toxicity has a very long incubation period, which will pose a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. New PFOS substitutes-6:2 Cl-PFAES and 6:2 FTS have gradually appeared on the market. In the electroplating industry, F-53B is widely used instead of PFOS as a chromic acid inhibitor. The current annual output of F-53B is about more than 10 tons, and the annual demand is still rising. The full market replacement of 6:2 FTS needs to be studied and verified. As a substitute for PFOS, OBS is a powdered anionic fluorocarbon surfactant that is white or slightly yellow in color, easily absorbs moisture in the air, and is resistant to strong acids and alkalis. Et-PFOA is mainly used as a lubricant and surfactant. It has a low friction coefficient and high chemical stability and is commonly used in lubricating oils, brake fluids, rust inhibitors, and certain adhesives. PFOSA is mainly used to synthesize fluorosurfactants by introducing other groups onto nitrogen atoms. PFOSA can have adverse effects on aquatic organisms and can cause neurotoxicity.
[0003] In the prior art, the pretreatment extraction technology for the detection of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds in soil mainly adopts oscillation extraction or solvent leaching extraction, and then uses WAX solid phase extraction cartridges for purification. This type of method has the disadvantages of complicated pretreatment process, high extraction time cost, high purification cartridge price, etc. For example, patent number CN105467026B "A method for detecting perfluorinated compounds in soil and sediments" discloses that the extraction of perfluorinated compounds in soil and sediments adopts segmented multiple extractions. The first segment is subjected to oscillation, standing, and ultrasonic extraction in a water bath. The supernatant is collected by extraction and centrifugation and placed in a collection container, and the lower layer of residue is retained in a centrifuge tube; an extractant is added to the residue in the second centrifuge tube, and an auxiliary reagent is added to adjust the pH of the solution to 3.0-5.8, and the solution is oscillated, allowed to stand, ultrasonically extracted in a water bath, and centrifuged to collect the supernatant and place it in a collection container, and the lower layer of residue is retained in a centrifuge tube; the supernatants after the two stages of extraction are combined, and the supernatant is separated and purified by a WAX solid phase extraction column; the entire pretreatment process is very complicated and time-consuming, with high extraction time cost and high purification column price.
[0004] The present invention develops a method for extracting perfluorinated substitutes from freeze-dried soil and sediments using a pressurized fluid extractor (ASE), collecting the extracted extract, concentrating it to near dryness by rotary evaporation, dissolving it with 2 mL of extraction solvent, passing it through a 0.45 μm polypropylene needle filter, blowing it to 1 mL with nitrogen, and finally quantitatively determining it by the internal standard method of a high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The pretreatment process of the method of the present invention is relatively simple and fast, short in time, and has strong sample processing stability, reduces the error caused by the manual extraction process, has high accuracy and reliable precision, and can be applied to the screening and monitoring of perfluorinated substitutes in environmental soils and sediments.

[0062] Example 2. This example uses ultrasonic extraction pretreatment to extract perfluorinated substitutes from soil and sediments. Specifically: methanol / acetonitrile solvent is used to ultrasonically extract air-dried or freeze-dried soil and sediment samples. After ultrasonic extraction, the extract is centrifuged, and the supernatant is extracted and passed through a 0.45 μm polypropylene needle filter and transferred to another 50 mL centrifuge tube. The above extraction steps are repeated twice, and the extracted supernatants are combined and nitrogen blown to near dryness. After redissolution, the solution is transferred to an injection vial, and then quantitatively determined by high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry internal standard method. The liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis parameters are the same as those in Example 1 of the present invention.
[0063] The specific steps of ultrasonic extraction pretreatment method are:
[0064] S1. Mix and homogenize the air-dried and ground soil sample that has passed through a 60-mesh sieve. The sample volume should be at least 250 g. The five perfluorinated substitutes in the soil were not detected in the analysis before the experiment. Weigh 10.0 g of the soil sample, add 50 μL of the perfluorinated substitute standard working solution with a concentration of 100 μg / L, mix the soil sample, put it into a conical flask, add 30 mL of methanol or acetonitrile solvent, and mix it with a vortex instrument.
[0065] S2. Put the bottle cap into the ultrasonic instrument (power 1500W) for the first ultrasonic extraction for 20 min. Transfer the ultrasonicated sample into a centrifuge tube and spin at 8000 r·min -1 Centrifuge for 6 min. After completion, filter the supernatant and put it into a clean conical flask.
[0066] S3. Add 30 mL of methanol or acetonitrile to the centrifuge tube containing the soil sample and place it in an ultrasonic device (power 1500 W) for a second extraction for 20 min. After completion, centrifuge and combine the two supernatants.
[0067] S4. Set the parameters of the rotary evaporator to -310 Pa, 50°C, and rotary evaporate to near dryness.
[0068] S5. Dissolve with 2 mL of methanol, purify with WAX solid phase extraction column, and activate with 5 mL of 2% ammonia-methanol solution, 5 mL of methanol and 5 mL of pure water. During the activation process, ensure that the filler in the solid phase extraction column is not exposed to the air. After loading the sample at a flow rate of 3 mL / min to 5 mL / min, elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 ml of 0.025 mol / L ammonium acetate buffer and discard the eluent. Dry the extraction column with the vacuum pump of the solid phase extraction device for 10 min to remove the residual water in the extraction column. Elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 mL of methanol at a flow rate of 1 ml / min to 3 ml / min, and discard the eluent. Elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 mL of 2% ammonia-methanol mixed solution at a flow rate of 1 mL / min to 3 mL / min, and collect the eluent and sample.
[0069] S6. Use a nitrogen blower to concentrate the eluate to near dryness and dilute to 1 mL with methanol / acetonitrile. Filter through a 0.22 μm polypropylene syringe filter, mix well and test.
[0070] S7. Sample analysis and determination were performed according to the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry parameter conditions of Example 1. When methanol or ethanol was used as the extractant, the test results of the spiked recovery rates of different perfluorinated substitutes were shown in Figure 1 .
[0071] Depend on Figure 1It can be seen that in the ultrasonic extraction pretreatment method, acetonitrile extraction has a significant effect on perfluorosulfonic acid compounds, acetonitrile extraction has almost no effect on Et-PFOA, and the methanol extraction spike recovery rate is better than acetonitrile.
[0072] Example 3. This example uses an oscillation extraction pretreatment method to extract perfluorinated substitutes from soil and sediments. Specifically: methanol / acetonitrile solvent shaker oscillation extraction air-dried or freeze-dried soil and sediment samples, after oscillation extraction, transfer to a centrifuge tube for centrifugation, filter the supernatant and transfer to a clean conical flask, repeat the above extraction steps for the remaining soil sample, combine the two supernatants and rotary evaporate to near dryness, dissolve with methanol / acetonitrile, pass through a solid phase extraction column, purify liquid nitrogen and blow and concentrate, then transfer to an injection vial to a fixed volume, and then quantitatively determine by the internal standard method of a high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis parameters are the same as those in Example 1 of the present invention.
[0073] The specific steps of the oscillation extraction pretreatment method are:
[0074] S1. Take the soil sample ground through a 60-mesh sieve in Example 2 above, weigh 10.0 g of the soil sample, add 50 μL of a 100 μg / L perfluorinated substitute standard working solution, mix the soil sample, put it into a conical flask, add 30 mL of methanol or acetonitrile solvent, and mix it using a vortex instrument.
[0075] S2, cover the bottle with a stopper and place it in a shaking incubator at 200 r.min -1 The first extraction was carried out under shaking conditions for 30 min. The shaken samples were transferred into centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 6000 r·min. -1 Centrifuge for 6 min. After centrifugation, filter the supernatant and put it into a clean conical flask.
[0076] S3. Add 30 mL of methanol or acetonitrile to the centrifuge tube containing the soil sample and place it on a shaking table at 200 r.min. -1 The second extraction was carried out under shaking for 30 min, and then centrifuged and the two supernatants were combined.
[0077] S4. Set the parameters of the rotary evaporator to -310 Pa, 50°C, and rotary evaporate to near dryness.
[0078] S5. Dissolve with 2 mL of methanol, purify with WAX solid phase extraction column, and activate with 5 mL of 2% ammonia-methanol solution, 5 mL of methanol and 5 mL of pure water. During the activation process, ensure that the filler in the solid phase extraction column is not exposed to the air. After loading the sample at a flow rate of 3 mL / min to 5 mL / min, elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 ml of 0.025 mol / L ammonium acetate buffer and discard the eluent. Dry the extraction column with the vacuum pump of the solid phase extraction device for 10 min to remove the residual water in the extraction column. Elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 mL of methanol at a flow rate of 1 ml / min to 3 ml / min, and discard the eluent. Elute the solid phase extraction column with 8 mL of 2% ammonia-methanol mixed solution at a flow rate of 1 mL / min to 3 mL / min, and collect the eluent and sample.
[0079] S6. Use a nitrogen blower to concentrate the eluate to near dryness and dilute to 1 mL with methanol / acetonitrile. Filter through a 0.22 μm polypropylene syringe filter, mix well and test.
[0080] S7. Sample analysis and determination were performed according to the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry parameter conditions of Example 1. When methanol or ethanol was used as the extractant, the test results of the spiked recovery rates of different perfluorinated substitutes were shown in Figure 2 .
[0081] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that acetonitrile extraction in the oscillation extraction pretreatment method has obvious effects on 6:2Cl-PFAES, 6:2FTS, OBS, and PFOSA. The recovery rate of Et-PFOA by acetonitrile extraction is less than 20%, and the recovery rate of methanol extraction is better than that of acetonitrile. The recovery rate of oscillation extraction is higher than that of ultrasonic extraction.
[0082] Example 4. This example uses a rapid solvent extraction method to extract perfluorinated substitutes from soil and sediments. Specifically: a pressurized fluid extractor is used to extract air-dried or freeze-dried soil and sediment samples using methanol / acetonitrile solvents. After two extractions with ASE, the samples are transferred to a rotary concentrator bottle and evaporated to near dryness, dissolved with methanol / acetonitrile, filtered through a 0.22 μm polypropylene needle filter, and then the volume is fixed to 1 mL. The samples are then quantitatively determined by the internal standard method of a high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis parameters are the same as those of Example 1 of the present invention.
[0083] The specific steps of the rapid solvent extraction method are:
[0084] S1. Take the soil sample ground through a 60-mesh sieve in the above-mentioned Example 2, weigh 10.0 g of the soil sample, add 50 μL of a 100 μg / L perfluorinated substitute standard working solution, mix the soil sample, add diatomaceous earth to mix, and then put it into a rapid solvent extraction cell for pressurized extraction. The extraction solvents are methanol, acetonitrile, methyl tert-butyl ether, or a mixed solvent thereof.
[0085] S2. Set the parameters of the pressurized fluid extractor: extraction temperature 70°C; extraction pressure 1500 psi; static extraction time 5 min; flushing volume 60% of the extraction pool solvent; nitrogen purge time 60 s, cyclic extraction times 2 times. Collect and combine the two extracts after extraction.
[0086] S3. Transfer the solvent to a rotary concentrator bottle, set the rotary evaporator parameters to -310 Pa, 50°C, and rotary evaporate until nearly dry.
[0087] S4. Add 2 mL of acetonitrile to dissolve and shake the rotating bottle. Pass the sample through a 0.22 μm polypropylene needle filter, blow nitrogen to make the volume up to 1 mL, mix well and then test.
[0088] S6. Sample analysis and determination were performed according to the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry parameter conditions of Example 1. When the extractant was methanol, acetonitrile, methyl tert-butyl ether, methanol-methyl tert-butyl ether with a volume ratio of 1:1, and acetonitrile-methyl tert-butyl ether with a volume ratio of 1:1, the test results of the spiked recovery rates of different perfluorinated substitutes were shown in Figure 3 .
[0089] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that in the rapid solvent extraction method, acetonitrile showed a good extraction effect for the selected perfluorinated substitutes, with the spiked recovery rate ranging from 70.4% to 82.4%. Methanol as an extractant has obvious advantages over acetonitrile, with the spiked recovery rate ranging from 79.5% to 92.7%. The spiked recovery rates of various extraction solvents are in the following order: acetonitrile + methyl tert-butyl ether > methanol + methyl tert-butyl ether > methanol > methyl tert-butyl ether > acetonitrile.
[0090] Depend on Figure 1-Figure 3 It can be concluded that the recovery rate when methanol is selected as the extraction solvent is significantly higher than when acetonitrile is used as the extraction solvent. Figure 1-3 The experimental results show that when methanol is selected as the extractant, the detection results of the spiked recoveries of different perfluorinated substitutes under three pretreatment methods, namely ultrasonic extraction, oscillation extraction and rapid solvent extraction, are shown in Figure 4 . Figure 4 It can be seen that the rapid solvent extraction method can extract perfluorinated substitutes from soil samples better than the other two pretreatment methods. The five perfluorinated substitutes selected in this experiment have good added recovery rates.
[0091] Example 5: A city in Zhejiang is an industrial cluster for chemical, electroplating, fire protection and other industries. The five perfluorinated substitutes in this study will be produced in large quantities and used as raw materials. Therefore, the present invention establishes a rapid solvent extraction detection method for perfluorinated substitutes in soil and sediments, which is very meaningful for finding out the residual distribution and source analysis of perfluorinated substitutes in the soil and river sediments around the investigated enterprises. The specific experimental steps are as follows:
[0092] S1. Sample collection: Use hand drill and shovel equipment to collect soil samples from the above area at 50 cm. During the collection process, remove the 0~20 cm sample, branches, debris and other interferences. Use a shovel to collect about 250 g of soil samples and put them into a polypropylene plastic bottle; Use a stainless steel grab bucket to collect soil samples 1m near the water sampling point 2 Sediment samples were collected from the range and placed in polypropylene plastic containers.
[0093] S2. Sample preparation: The collected samples are placed in a frozen blue ice incubator for transportation and storage, and then transported to the laboratory by flow transport. Foreign matter in the samples, such as branches, leaves, and stones, is removed, and the samples are dried by natural air drying or freeze drying. After the samples are dried, they are ground, homogenized, and sieved through a 60-mesh sample sieve.
[0094] S3. Sample analysis: Weigh about 10.0 g of the ground dry sample and mix it with diatomaceous earth in a mass ratio of 1:2, and place it in a rapid solvent extraction cell equipped with a glass fiber filter membrane.
[0095] S4. Set the parameters of the pressurized fluid extractor: extraction temperature 70°C; extraction pressure 1500 psi; static extraction time 5 min; flushing volume 60% of the extraction pool solvent; nitrogen purge time 60 s, cyclic extraction times 2 times. Collect and combine the two extracts after extraction.
[0096] S5. Add 50.0 μL of the internal standard containing 0.200 mg / L into the extraction cell. 13 C 4 PFOS and 0.200 mg / L 13 C 4 PFOA mixture, then cover the extraction pool with a metal cap and tighten it; place the extraction pool in a pressurized fluid extractor and use an extractant for pressurized extraction. The extractant is acetonitrile: methyl tert-butyl ether (volume ratio is 1:1). After the extraction is completed, the extract is collected and transferred to a rotating bottle. After rotating and evaporating until nearly dry, 2 mL of acetonitrile solution is added to shake the rotating bottle. The sample is passed through a 0.45 μm polypropylene needle filter, and the volume is adjusted to 1 mL with nitrogen blowing. 50.0 μL of the injection internal standard 0.200 mg / L is added. 13 C 2-PFOA, detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Samples were injected and analyzed according to the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry parameter conditions of Example 1. The test results are shown in Tables 11 and 12.

[0099] As can be seen from Tables 11 and 12, the maximum value of 6:2Cl-PFAES detected in the soil of the surrounding plots of the industrial agglomeration area is 749μg / kg, and the maximum value of 6:2FTS is also 98.8μg / kg, which belongs to the electroplating industry. The two perfluorinated substitutes were detected 100%; Et-PFOA was not detected in soil and sediments. Although some samples of the other two OBS and PFOSA were also detected, the detection rate was not high. Therefore, the residual level in the soil cannot be ignored and deserves attention. Only 6:2Cl-PFAES was detected in the sediment, with a maximum value of only 0.35μg / kg. The other perfluorinated substitutes are currently below the detection limit of the method, indicating that 6:2Cl-PFAES in the soil will migrate to the river with surface runoff and atmospheric deposition. The current content of other perfluorinated substitutes is low and does not have the ability to migrate. The study found that the relative standard deviation of the parallel sample determination results was less than 10%, indicating that the detection method has good repeatability and is suitable for detecting the content of 5 perfluorinated substitutes in soil and sediments.
[0100] The contents described in this specification are merely an enumeration of implementation forms of the inventive concept, and the protection scope of the present invention should not be regarded as being limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments.
