Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water quality analysis and detection, and more specifically, relates to a method for rapidly determining haloacetic acids and halogen oxides. Background Art
[0002] Haloacetic acids are one of the most common disinfection by-products in drinking water, with concentrations in drinking water reaching dozens to hundreds of μg / L, and they are the carbon-containing disinfection by-products second only to trihalomethanes in content. However, haloacetic acids are more toxic than trihalomethanes and are difficult to volatilize, posing a greater threat to drinking water safety and human health. Halogen oxides are an important class of inorganic DBPs, mainly including BrO3 - , ClO3 - and ClO4 - . For example, bromate (BrO3 - ) is the most important disinfection by-product during the ozonation of water bodies containing a relatively high concentration of Br−. In addition, bromate (BrO3 - ) is a Group 2B carcinogen. The "Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water" (GB / T 5749-2006) in China has limited the concentrations of dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and bromate, and their maximum limits are 50 μg / L, 100 μg / L, and 10 μg / L, respectively. Establishing a sensitive, simple, and rapid analytical method for haloacetic acids and halogen oxides is the basis for understanding the pollution status of these substances in drinking water and their potential health risks.
[0003] Currently, there are many methods for determining haloacetic acids. The most mainstream methods are the standard method provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 552.3) and the standard test method "Standard Test Methods for Drinking Water - Part 10: Disinfection By-Product Indicators" (GB / T 5750-2023) supporting the "Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water" in China. Both of these detection methods require derivatization of water samples and then gas chromatography detection. These methods have problems such as complex operation processes, low enrichment multiples, and high detection limits, and thus need to be further improved.
[0004] At present, many researchers at home and abroad have improved the standard methods. The patent document (Patent No.: 201810740490.7) "A Gas Chromatography Method for Determining Nine Trace Haloacetic Acids in Barreled Drinking Water" enriches haloacetic acids by means of dispersive solid-phase extraction and finally uses gas chromatography for detection. The extraction materials for this method are difficult to obtain and have a high price. It involves multiple extractions and elutions, and the process is cumbersome. The patent document (Patent No.: 201610060522.X) "A Method for Simultaneously Determining the Contents of Trihalomethanes and Haloacetic Acids in Drinking Water" requires acidifying the water sample to be measured, enhancing the polarity of the water sample to be measured and then performing extraction and derivatization. Bromate has high toxicity, and the limit value specified for it in the drinking water hygiene standard is low. It often needs to be enriched to remove the interference of other substances. For example, the patent document (Patent No.: 202111558375.6) "A Method for Determining Bromate in Drinking Water Using an Ion Chromatography On-line Matrix Elimination System" requires a more sensitive test technology to achieve its accurate quantification.
[0005] In addition, since haloacetic acids are a type of disinfection by-products in drinking water and have potential health risks. During the drinking water treatment and monitoring process, quickly and accurately determining the content of haloacetic acids can promptly detect whether the haloacetic acids in the water quality exceed the standard. Once an abnormality is found, measures can be taken quickly. Rapid analysis of haloacetic acids can more efficiently evaluate the pollution status of water bodies and the sewage treatment effect. Shortening the analysis time means that more samples can be processed within the same time, improving the laboratory work efficiency. This can not only save labor costs but also reduce the occupation time of instrument equipment and improve the equipment utilization rate. For example, for some large-scale water quality monitoring projects, if the analysis speed is slow, more manpower and time may be required to complete the task, while improving the analysis speed can reduce these costs. Or, in the event of a sudden water pollution incident, such as accidental pollution of the water source, etc., quickly analyzing the content of pollutants such as haloacetic acids is crucial for formulating emergency treatment plans. Being able to accurately determine the content of haloacetic acids within a short time helps relevant departments quickly understand the pollution degree and take targeted countermeasures to reduce the losses and impacts caused by the pollution. In addition, in the related research of haloacetic acids, such as studying its formation mechanism, degradation law, etc., a rapid and accurate analysis method can enable researchers to conduct more groups of experiments in a shorter time, thereby more deeply understanding the formation law of haloacetic acids.
[0006] Considering that in actual production, haloacetic acids and halogen oxides often need to be analyzed simultaneously. If they can be analyzed simultaneously, it can greatly shorten the detection time required. In addition, it is of great practical significance to improve the speed and / or accuracy of the test results. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Meanwhile, compared with the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method using a reversed-phase chromatographic column or a hydrophilic chromatographic column for separation, the method for rapid determination of haloacetic acids and halooxides provided by the present invention has the advantages of low detection limit and strong anti-interference ability, and has strong anti-interference ability against common anions such as sulfate ions.
[0068] (2) The method for rapid determination of haloacetic acids and halooxides provided by the present invention uses an AG18 chromatographic column as the analytical column.

[0085] Standard curve and quantification limit
[0086] 1) Preparation of standard solution: Mix known concentrations of dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid and BrO3 - to prepare a mixed standard solution with the same concentration of each single disinfection by-product, place it in a brown injection vial, and then dilute the prepared solution with ultrapure water and acetonitrile (80:20, v / v) to prepare standard working solutions with mass concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 μg / L;

The liquid phase uses gradient elution mode as shown in Table 2;
[0088] Table 2 Liquid Phase Gradient Elution Program Table
[0089]
[0090] 3) The mass spectrometer used is a QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer from AB SCIEX. The ion source is an electrospray ionization source (ESI). The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer injects a single standard sample using the flow injection injection mode, namely two haloacetic acids including dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) and BrO3 - . The mass spectrometer uses the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The ion source parameters are: curtain gas is 30 L / min, collision gas is medium speed, temperature is 450 °C, ion source gas 1 is 40 L / min, and ion source gas 2 is 40 L / min;
[0091] 4) In the mixed standard solution, calibration curves are constructed for each analyte in the concentration range of 0.5 μg / L to 100 μg / L. By performing eight repeated measurements on the mixed standard containing DCAA, TCAA, and BrO3 - , the detection limit and quantification limit of the newly established gradient elution, non-suppressed IC-ESI-MS / MS method based on the AG18 column are determined. The concentrations of DCAA, TCAA, and BrO3 - in the mixed standard are 1.0 μg / L, 1.0 μg / L, and 0.5 μg / L respectively;
