Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for testing short-chain chlorinated paraffins in water bodies, belonging to the field of detection and extraction. Background Art
[0002] Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are a type of chlorinated paraffins, which are complex mixtures derived from the chlorination of synthetic alkanes with 10-13 carbon atoms in the carbon chain and are used as plasticizers, metalworking fluids, coatings, sealants, flame retardants, etc. Currently, China is the world's most important producer and exporter of chlorinated paraffins. SCCPs have similar physical and chemical properties to traditional POPs, such as persistence, bioaccumulation and magnification, and biological toxicity, and have low solubility, high octanol-water partition coefficient (K ow ), and high octanol-air partition coefficient (K oa ), etc. SCCPs entering the environment can migrate and transform through air, water, sediment, soil, organisms, etc. Due to their long-distance migration characteristics, SCCPs with different concentrations have been detected in environmental media around the world, and even in the ecosystems of the Arctic and Antarctic. SCCPs have not only been widely detected in the sediments of major rivers in China, but also commonly detected in estuarine and coastal sediments. They have been detected in the sediments of the South China Sea, East China Sea, Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, coastal waters, bays and estuarine waters, etc. In particular, the SCCPs in the sediments of the Pearl River Estuary can reach up to 6.6×10 3 ng / g. Detecting the concentration of SCCPs in the environment and monitoring the threat of SCCPs in water to the health of organisms in real time is of great significance.
[0003] Most studies use one-dimensional gas chromatography (GC) or two-dimensional GC×GC coupled with electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (ECNI-MS) or time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) or their variants. In the electron capture negative ion (ECNI) mode, SCCPs mainly produce characteristic ions such as [M-Cl]–, [M-HCl]–, [M+Cl]–, etc. The abundances of these characteristic ions are affected by the carbon chain length, chlorination degree of SCCPs molecules, and the ion source temperature during the detection process.
[0004] To detect SCCPs in the environment, one-dimensional gas chromatography is usually used for separation. Low-resolution mass spectrometry (LRMS) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode is widely used as a detector. However, one-dimensional gas chromatography combined with LRMS has drawbacks in separating short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins because some short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffin homologues have the same quantitative or qualitative ions and overlapping retention times. GC × GC can also be applied to the measurement of chlorinated paraffins. So far, only a few laboratories have used GC × GC combined with microelectron capture detection (ECD) or high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HRTOF-MS) to quantify short-chain chlorinated paraffins in environmental samples. Although GC × GC-HRTOF-MS is a powerful tool for analyzing chlorinated paraffins in environmental samples, the high cost and complex maintenance of HRTOF-MS limit its use in most laboratories. In addition, GC has a certain ability to eliminate interference, and quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) is more convenient to operate and maintain. Currently, national and industrial standards (GB / T 33345-2016, GB / T 40263-2021, SN / T 3814-2014) for the detection of SCCPs in media such as electrical and electronic products, textiles, rubber and plastic products have been issued in China, but they are not applicable to the detection of trace SCCPs in environmental media. For this reason, the present invention provides an analytical method using GC coupled with MS / MS (GC-MS / MS) to determine short-chain chlorinated paraffins. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The short-chain chlorinated paraffin test method for Example 1 of the present invention is as follows: Step 1: Prepare standard solutions, including: the total concentration of short-chain chlorinated paraffins is 100 μg / mL, and then using n-hexane as the solvent, prepare standard working solutions with total concentrations of short-chain chlorinated paraffins of 2 μg / mL, 4 μg / mL, 6 μg / mL, 8 μg / mL, and 10 μg / mL respectively. Add the recovery indicator trans-chlordane and the internal standard hexachlorocyclohexane.

[0027] Step 4: GS-MS / MS detection. The qualitative ion parameters of each compound in the example of the present invention are shown in the following table.
[0028]
[0029] Comparative Example 1
[0030] The standard sample of SCCPs mixed standard was determined by the method of gas chromatography - electron capture detector (GC-ECD) combined. The chromatographic column used was HP-5MS, with a specification of 30m×0.25mm×0.25μm. The carrier gas was high-purity nitrogen (N2, 99.999%), the flow rate was 4mL / min, the detector temperature was 310℃, and the injection port temperature was 270℃.
[0031] The chromatographic column temperature programming was set as follows: hold at 90℃ for 1 min, increase to 150℃ at a rate of 20℃ / min, then increase the temperature to 300℃ at a rate of 15℃ / min, and hold for 4 min.
[0032] The injection volume was 1μL, splitless injection, and the valve was opened after 1 min. The standard curves with concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 80, and 100 μg / mL were fitted, and R 2 = 0.998.
[0033] For Comparative Example 1 of the present invention, R 2 = 0.998 although it meets the requirements, there are obvious problems. On the one hand, from a practical sense, such high concentrations of SCCPs generally do not appear in actual environmental media. Therefore, the comparative example is actually not applicable to environmental detection and has strong limitations. On the contrary, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 show, the applicable detection range of Example 1 of the present invention is one order of magnitude lower than that of Comparative Example 1, which is more in line with the needs of environmental detection. On the other hand, as Figure 1 shows, the fitting effect of Comparative Example 1 of the present invention is not as high as that of Example 1 of the present invention. Therefore, the sample measurement method of the present invention is more accurate for the quantification of SCCPs.

First, use a vortex machine to fully mix the solution. After ultrasonic centrifugation, collect the upper organic liquid, and repeat the extraction three times; place the collected extraction liquid in a pear-shaped flask and concentrate it to about 2 mL; Step 3: Plug the lower end of a chromatography column with an inner diameter of 1 cm with degreased cotton (ultrasonicated with acetone, dichloromethane, and n-hexane for 15 min each and then dried for standby), and sequentially pack 3 g of Florisil, 2 g of neutral silica gel, 5 g of acidic silica gel, and 4 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate from bottom to top to form a multi-layer silica-Florisil composite chromatography column; pre-rinse the chromatography column with 50 mL of n-hexane and discard the eluate; after adding 2 mL of the concentrated extract, elute with 40 mL of n-hexane and 100 mL of n-hexane-dichloromethane (1:1, V / V); collect the eluates of the two parts in a 250 mL pear-shaped flask, concentrate to about 1.5 mL, and blow to near dryness with nitrogen, add 20 μL of internal standard hexachlorocyclohexane with a concentration of 10 μg / mL and 20 μL of recovery indicator trans-chlordane with a concentration of 10 μg / mL; make up the volume with n-hexane so that the concentration of the internal standard in the final solution is the same as that in the standard curve, and the concentration of the recovery indicator is the same as the middle concentration of the recovery indicator standard curve.

[0045] The GC parameters setting for the comparative example of the present invention is as follows: (1) Front injector: injection volume 1 μL, wash the injector with solvent A (n-hexane) for 3 μL before injection and 6 μL after injection; wash the injector with solvent B (acetone) for 3 μL before injection and 6 μL after injection; (2) Injection port: heater 260 °C, pressure 12.93 psi, septum purge flow rate 3 mL / min, splitless injection, purge volume to the split outlet 50 mL / min, purge time 1 min; (3) Column oven: the column oven temperature is started at 90 °C, equilibrium time 1 min, the highest column oven temperature 325 °C, temperature programming, initial value 90 °C, hold for 1 min, increase the temperature to 150 °C at a rate of 20 °C / min, and then increase the temperature to 300 °C at a rate of 15 °C / min, hold for 4 min.
[0046] During the SCCPs measurement process, it was found that SCCPs, internal standards, and recovery rate indicators would affect each other in the test results. For example Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown. In addition, samples with an initial total short-chain chlorinated paraffin concentration of 4 μg / mL in Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3, and processed through steps 1-3 were subjected to GS-MS / MS detection. The results are as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 where a is the result diagram of Comparative Example 2, b is the result diagram of Comparative Example 3, and c is the result diagram of Example 1. The main difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 lies in the addition amount of the recovery rate indicator. In Comparative Example 2, the addition amount of the recovery rate indicator was too much, resulting in the SCCPs peak in the spectrum being masked. In Comparative Example 3, the ratio of the total concentration of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) to the total concentration of internal standards and recovery rate indicators was 20:2:1. Although the SCCPs peak could be seen, the peak intensity was lower than 50000. In Example 1, the addition amount of the recovery rate indicator was less, but the SCCPs peak intensity was much higher than that of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, reaching up to 10000 at most. When the concentrations of SCCPs and internal standards were the same, the ratio of the peak area of SCCPs without adding the recovery rate indicator to the peak area of the internal standard was 116.7, and the ratio of the peak area of SCCPs with the added recovery rate indicator to the peak area of the internal standard was 99.9. To more accurately detect SCCPs, in Example 1 of the present invention, the optimal concentration ratio (5-25):1:(0.05-0.25) was determined in the combination of SCCPs, internal standards, and recovery rate indicators. The results are as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 . The standard curves R 2 of SCCPs and the recovery rate indicator were 0.9996 and 0.9998 respectively. The experimental recovery rate results were between 90% and 115%. A relatively satisfactory recovery rate standard curve and experimental recovery rate were obtained. It should be noted that the optimal concentration ratio determined in the combination of SCCPs, internal standards, and recovery rate indicators was 1:0.1:0.01. However, for a solution with an undetermined specific SCCPs content, as long as the concentration ratio of SCCPs, internal standards, and recovery rate indicators is controlled at (0.5-2):0.1:0.01, good test results can also be obtained.
[0047] In addition, Example 1 of the present invention further optimizes the parameter settings of GC-MS / MS during the sample measurement process. During the sample measurement process, the gain factor is adjusted to 5, and at the same time, the collision gas N2 is turned off to reduce the excessive bombardment of molecules during the GC-MS / MS detection, and a relatively satisfactory recovery rate is obtained in the results. The specific test process is as follows: Samples with an initial total concentration of short-chain chlorinated paraffins of 4 μg / mL in Example 1, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 5, and processed through steps 1-3 are taken for GS-MS / MS detection. The results are as Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 where a is the result graph of Comparative Example 4, b is the result graph of Comparative Example 5, and c is the result graph of Example 1. Figure 6 The SCCPs peak in c is significantly higher than that in Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5. It can be seen that compared with the conventional column temperature conditions of Comparative Example 4 (national standard column temperature) and 5, Example 1 of the present invention can more effectively achieve the separation of SCCPs, and the SCCPs peak intensity in Example 1 of the present invention is obvious. Compared with Comparative Examples 4 and 5, it can perform efficient content testing of SCCPs in water samples.
