Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pollutant detection, and in particular to a method for obtaining detection limits of 23 perfluorinated compounds in water. Background Art

[0002] Perfluorinated compounds (PFAs) are artificially synthesized chemicals whose carbon-fluorine bonds are extremely stable, difficult to form naturally, and they do not occur naturally. PFCs primarily originate from human activities, such as industrial emissions from factories that manufacture and use PFCs; products containing PFCs, such as non-stick pans and waterproofing materials, enter water bodies after use and disposal; firefighting foam used in fire drills and accidents contains PFCs, which easily seep into groundwater; and wastewater treatment plants are unable to completely remove PFCs, leading to their entry into natural water bodies. Due to varying contamination patterns, the distribution of PFCs in water quality is highly uneven. Untreated water samples from areas with relevant production and use activities have elevated levels of PFCs. However, areas with PFC-related activities account for less than 0.1% of the country's total land area, resulting in low concentrations of PFCs in water quality across most regions. However, due to the hazards of PFCs, such as persistent pollution, bioaccumulation, immune system damage, developmental effects, and cancer risks, detecting low concentrations of PFCs is of practical significance.

[0003] In the existing technology, such as the Jiangsu Provincial Local Standard DB 32 / T 4004-2021 "Determination of 17 Perfluorinated Compounds in Water Quality by High Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry", the enrichment function is achieved through manual solid-phase extraction, the components to be tested are separated by liquid phase, and 17 perfluorinated compounds in surface water are determined using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Specifically, an internal standard solution is added to 0.2~0.5L of sample, and 4mL of 0.1% ammonia / methanol solution, 4mL of methanol and 4mL of pure water are added to the solid-phase extraction device in sequence. The column head is always kept wet during the addition of solvents. A universal adapter is connected to the top of the solid-phase extraction column, and the sample is absorbed under negative pressure through the pipeline, and the flow rate is controlled at about 1 drop / second. The solid-phase extraction column is rinsed with 4mL of 25mmol / L ammonium acetate aqueous solution to fix the 17 perfluorinated compounds on the solid-phase extraction column. The previous samples and eluents are discarded. After drying the solid-phase extraction column in a vacuum freeze dryer, the column was sequentially eluted with 4 mL of methanol and 4 mL of an aqueous ammonia / methanol solution. The eluent was collected in a 15 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. The collected eluent was concentrated with nitrogen in a nitrogen blow dryer, diluted to 1 mL with methanol, passed through a 0.22 μm filter, and placed in a 1.5 mL brown injection vial. The sample was stored at 4°C until analysis. The liquid chromatography mobile phase gradient elution process consisted of 2 mmol / L aqueous ammonium acetate and acetonitrile. At the start of the elution, the volume percentages of aqueous ammonium acetate and acetonitrile were 80% and 20% respectively. Over 14 minutes, the volume percentage of aqueous ammonium acetate was steadily decreased from 80% to 10%, while the volume percentage of acetonitrile was steadily increased from 20% to 90% and maintained for 2 minutes. At 16.01 minutes, the volume percentage of aqueous ammonium acetate was increased from 10% to 80%, while the volume percentage of acetonitrile was decreased from 90% to 20% and maintained for 4 minutes. The 0-14 min period was the gradient elution process, the 14-16 min period was the isocratic elution process, and the 16-20 min period was the column re-equilibration process.

[0004] During the above-mentioned experimental operation, the manual solid-phase extraction process is complicated, the sample demand is large, the human operation error is large, the operation efficiency is low, the consumption of organic solvents is large, and the potential toxicity of unknown samples may pose an exposure risk to the inspectors. The manual solid-phase extraction process requires the preparation of multiple solvents, which are repeatedly and quantitatively added to the solid-phase extraction column. Both require manual operation by the experimenter, and the consumption of organic solvents is large. The sample enrichment volume is between 0.2-0.5L, and the flow rate is controlled at about 1 drop / second when passing through the column. It takes more than 1 hour for all samples to pass through the solid-phase extraction column, which requires a long time and low operation efficiency. Freeze drying, nitrogen blow dryer and vacuum pumping are cumbersome and time-consuming. The required instruments and equipment occupy a large area and consume energy. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Step S1, taking a sufficient amount of water sample and placing it in a fluorine-free volumetric flask, adding methanol so that the volume content of methanol is 10% of the water sample, to obtain a water sample containing methanol;

[0009] Step S2, adding an isotope internal standard mixed solution to a water sample containing methanol to prepare a water sample to be tested;

[0010] Step S3: Detecting the water quality sample using a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer. A solid phase extraction column is set in the high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer and connected to a mass spectrometer detector via a switching valve.

[0012] The mobile phases include a first mobile phase of 2 mmol / L ammonium acetate aqueous solution, a second mobile phase of acetonitrile, a third mobile phase of acetonitrile, and a fourth mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution. The first mobile phase, the second mobile phase, the third mobile phase, and the fourth mobile phase are pumped into the high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer through a first pump, a second pump, a third pump, and a fourth pump, respectively. During the test phase from 0 min to 2.5 min, the switching valve is located at a position for loading the solid phase extraction column, i.e., a loading position; during the test phase from 2.51 min to 14 min, the switching valve is located at a position for allowing the water quality sample to be tested in the solid phase extraction column to enter the mass spectrometer detector, i.e., a detection position; at 14.1 min, the switching valve is located at the loading position until one injection cycle is completed.

The first mobile phase and the second mobile phase were pumped into the solid phase extraction column and then into the mass spectrometry detector and maintained until the 16th minute. At 16.1 minutes, the volume percentages of the first mobile phase pumped by the first pump and the second mobile phase pumped by the second pump were restored to 85% and 15%, respectively, and maintained until the end of one injection cycle.

[0014] At the start of the test, the volume percentages of the third mobile phase pumped in by the third pump and the fourth mobile phase pumped in by the fourth pump are 0% and 100%, and the third mobile phase and the fourth mobile phase are pumped into the solid phase extraction column and then flow into the waste liquid. The water quality sample to be tested enters the solid phase extraction column and is loaded for 2.5 minutes. The flow rate in this stage is 0.6 mL / min. At 2.51 minutes, the volume percentages of the third mobile phase pumped in by the third pump and the fourth mobile phase pumped in by the fourth pump are adjusted to 100% and 0%, and the flow rate is 1.5 mL / min. The mobile phase and the fourth mobile phase were pumped into the waste liquid and maintained until the 10th minute; at 10.1 minutes, the third pump and the fourth pump were stopped, and the flow rates of the third pump and the fourth pump were 0 mL / min; at 14.1 minutes, the third pump and the fourth pump were turned on, and the flow rates of the third pump and the fourth pump were 0.1 mL / min, and the volume percentages of the third mobile phase pumped in by the third pump and the fourth mobile phase pumped in by the fourth pump were 0% and 100%, respectively. The flow rate was uniformly increased to 0.3 mL / min within 2 minutes and maintained until the end of one injection cycle;

[0015] Step S5: Perform the test according to the procedure set in step S4, quantitatively determine and calculate the concentrations of the 23 perfluorinated compounds in the water sample to be tested using the high performance liquid chromatography, and then obtain the detection limits of the 23 perfluorinated compounds in the water sample to be tested.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S1, if the water sample contains suspended matter or insoluble matter, sampling is performed after centrifugation.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S2, an isotope internal standard mixed solution is added to the water sample containing methanol and then filtered through a filter membrane to prepare a water sample to be tested.

[0019] Furthermore, the 23 perfluorinated compounds in the water quality are perfluorobutyric acid, perfluoropentanoic acid, perfluorohexanoic acid, perfluorobutane sulfonic acid, perfluoroheptanoic acid, perfluoropentane sulfonic acid, 4,8-dioxa-3-H-perfluorononanoic acid, perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, perfluorononanoic acid, perfluoroheptane sulfonic acid, perfluorodecanoic acid, perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, perfluoroundecanoic acid, perfluoro 2-((6-chlorohexyl)oxy)ethane sulfonic acid, perfluorononane sulfonic acid, perfluorododecanoic acid, perfluorodecane sulfonic acid, perfluorotridecanoic acid, 11-chloroticosanoic acid, perfluorotetradecanoic acid, perfluorohexadecanoic acid, and perfluorooctadecanoic acid.

[0020] Furthermore, the solid phase extraction column is a hydrophilic-lipophilic equilibrium solid phase extraction column.

[0021] Furthermore, step S5 further includes calculating the detection limit according to the following formula:

[0022] MDL = t ( n-1,0.99) × S ;

[0023] Where: MDL is the detection limit, n is the number of parallel determinations; t For a one-sided test with n-1 degrees of freedom and 99% confidence level t distribution value; S for n Standard deviation of the replicates.

Online solid-phase extraction is employed, with the solid-phase extraction column 16 being used to enrich the components to be detected by reverse loading and forward elution via a switching valve. Specifically, the high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer is a liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

[0038] Step S4, setting the elution program of the mobile phase:

[0039] The mobile phases included a first mobile phase of 2 mmol / L ammonium acetate aqueous solution, a second mobile phase of acetonitrile, a third mobile phase of acetonitrile, and a fourth mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution. The first, second, third, and fourth mobile phases were pumped into the high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer via a first pump 12, a second pump 13, a third pump 14, and a fourth pump 15, respectively. During the test phase, from 0 to 2.5 minutes, the switching valve was positioned to load the solid phase extraction column 16, i.e., the loading position. From 2.51 to 14 minutes, the switching valve was positioned to load the water quality sample in the solid phase extraction column 16 into the mass spectrometer detector 17, i.e., the detection position.

During the test phase from 0 to 2.5 minutes, ten-way valve 1 is in the sample loading position. The first and second mobile phases are sequentially pumped into the sixth hole 7, seventh hole 8, tenth hole 11, and first hole 2 of ten-way valve 1 by first pump 12 and second pump 13, respectively.

The first and second mobile phases are sequentially pumped into the sixth hole 7, fifth hole 6, solid phase extraction column 16, second hole 3, and first hole 2 of ten-way valve 1 via first pump 12 and second pump 13, respectively. They then pass through analytical column 19 and enter mass spectrometer detector 17. During this process, the first and second mobile phases elute the water quality sample on solid phase extraction column 16 and enter mass spectrometer detector 17. The third and fourth mobile phases are sequentially pumped into the third hole 4, fourth hole 5, ninth hole 10, tenth hole 11, seventh hole 8, and eighth hole 9 of ten-way valve 1 via capture column 18, third pump 14, and fourth pump 15, respectively, before flowing out as waste liquid. At 14.1 minutes, ten-way valve 1 switches back to the loading position until one injection cycle is complete.

[0042] The specific test procedure is set as follows:

[0043] At the start of the test, the volume percentages of the first mobile phase pumped by the first pump 12 and the second mobile phase pumped by the second pump 13 were 85% and 15%, respectively. The first mobile phase and the second mobile phase were pumped into the high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer and maintained for 2.5 minutes with a full flow rate of 0.3 mL / min. In the time period of 2.51 minutes to 12.51 minutes, the volume percentages of the first mobile phase pumped by the first pump 12 and the second mobile phase pumped by the second pump 13 were gradually and uniformly adjusted to 2% and 98%, respectively. After being pumped into the solid phase extraction column, the first mobile phase and the second mobile phase entered the mass spectrometry detector 17 and were maintained until the 16th minute. At 16.1 minutes, the volume percentages of the first mobile phase pumped by the first pump 12 and the second mobile phase pumped by the second pump 13 were restored to 85% and 15%, respectively, and maintained until the end of one injection cycle.

[0044] At the start of the test, the volume percentages of the third mobile phase pumped in by the third pump 14 and the fourth mobile phase pumped in by the fourth pump 15 are 0% and 100%, and the third mobile phase and the fourth mobile phase are pumped into the solid phase extraction column and then flow into the waste liquid. The water quality sample to be tested enters the solid phase extraction column and is loaded for 2.5 minutes. The flow rate in this stage is 0.6 mL / min. At 2.51 minutes, the volume percentages of the third mobile phase pumped in by the third pump 14 and the fourth mobile phase pumped in by the fourth pump 15 are adjusted to 100% and 0%, and the flow rate is 1.5 mL / min.
