Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of analysis and detection, and particularly relates to a method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product of preparing low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde from acetylene, and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Glutaraldehyde is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H8O2. It is a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid that is soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Glutaraldehyde is an important chemical product that is widely used in medical and industrial production.
[0003] Glutaraldehyde is a broad-spectrum, fast-acting chemical fungicide with a strong killing effect against bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, molds, and bacterial spores. It is also used in cosmetic preservation and has good compatibility with surfactants, but is incompatible with proteins. It is also a permitted food preservative, used to preserve fruits and vegetables. The two aldehyde groups of glutaraldehyde are excellent protein crosslinkers and are also widely used in leather making and photographic reagents. In the textile and papermaking industries, it can be used as a crosslinker and curing agent. Glutaraldehyde is commonly used as a fungicide, food processing aid, disinfectant, tanning agent, wood preservative, pharmaceutical, and raw material for polymer synthesis. Glutaraldehyde is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals.
[0004] CN107903157A discloses a method for preparing glutaraldehyde, which uses acetylene, methanol, and acrolein as raw materials to produce 2-methoxy-3,4-dihydropyran, and then hydrolyzes 2-methoxy-3,4-dihydropyran under negative pressure to prepare glutaraldehyde. When acetylene is used to prepare the middle of glutaraldehyde, an intermediate low methanol (low methanol refers to low-content methanol) will be produced. Whether glutaraldehyde is qualified after leaving the factory is crucial to the detection and analysis of low methanol content. However, there is currently no detection method specifically for methanol in low methanol-grade glutaraldehyde. Therefore, developing a method for analyzing the intermediate product methanol of glutaraldehyde prepared from acetylene has important application value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product of acetylene-based low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde, and its application. The present invention adjusts various instruments under certain conditions, waits for the baseline to stabilize, quickly injects the sample with a micro-injector, and directly injects the sample into the vaporized state. The sample flows through the aged chromatographic column, thereby separating the components in the sample. The separated components are then detected by a gas chromatograph. After the gas chromatograph detects the components, a chromatographic data processor or a chromatographic workstation calculates the content of each component using an area normalization method. The detection method provided by the present invention can detect low levels of methanol in the sample with high sensitivity, good accuracy, and good stability. The low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde product can only be shipped after being tested and confirmed to be qualified and a test report is issued, thereby ensuring the qualified rate of the product.

[0014] Preferably, the carrier gas N2 flow rate during gas chromatograph detection is 25-30 mL / min, for example, it can be 25 mL / min, 26 mL / min, 27 mL / min, 28 mL / min, 29 mL / min or 30 mL / min, the hydrogen flow rate is 20-22 mL / min, for example, it can be 20 mL / min, 21 mL / min or 22 mL / min, and the supporting gas flow rate is 290-300 mL / min, for example, it can be 290 mL / min, 292 mL / min, 294 mL / min, 295 mL / min, 296 mL / min, 298 mL / min or 300 mL / min, etc.

[0028] The quartz glass capillary chromatographic column with the inner wall coated with OV-1701 stationary liquid was purchased from Agilent Technologies (China) Co., Ltd.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] This example provides a method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product in the production of low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde from acetylene. The method utilizes a quartz glass capillary chromatographic column coated with OV-1701 stationary phase and a gas chromatograph equipped with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. The sample is directly injected, vaporized, and passed through the chromatographic column to separate its components. The sample is then detected by a detector, and the peak area of each component is measured and quantified using area normalization. The method comprises the following steps:

[0056] Example 3
[0057] This example examines the accuracy of the method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product of acetylene to low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde.
[0058] The experimental steps include:
[0059] (1) Prepare three methanol standard solutions of different concentrations (low, medium, and high), and prepare three replicates of each concentration.
[0060] (2) Detection was performed according to the chromatographic conditions of Example 1, and the peak area of methanol was recorded.
[0061] (3) The recovery rate was calculated based on the standard curve using the formula: Recovery rate (%) = measured concentration / theoretical concentration × 100%.
[0062] The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0063] Table 1
[0064] Concentration level Average recovery rate (%) RSD (%) Low concentration 98.5 1.2 Medium concentration 99.8 0.8 High concentration 100.3 0.6
[0065] The results showed that the average recovery of the method was 98.5%-100.3%, RSD≤1.2%, which met the detection requirements and had good accuracy.
[0066] Example 4
[0067] This example investigates the durability of a method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product of acetylene-based production of low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde.
[0068] The experimental steps include:
[0069] (1) Fine-tune the chromatographic conditions: column temperature ±5°C, carrier gas flow rate ±5 mL / min, injection volume ±0.05 μL. Except for the fine-tuned conditions, the remaining steps were carried out as in Example 1.
[0070] (2) The measurement was repeated three times under each condition, and the RSD of the methanol content was calculated.
[0071] The results are shown in Table 2 below:
[0072] Table 2
[0073] Changing conditions RSD (%) Column temperature 235℃ (-5℃) 1.3 Column temperature 245℃ (+5℃) 1.5 Carrier gas flow rate 28mL / min 1.2 Injection volume 0.15 μL 1.0
[0074] The results show that the RSD is ≤1.5% when the parameters change slightly, and the method has good robustness.
[0075] Comparative Example 1
[0076] This comparative example investigates the detection effects of different chromatographic columns. The experimental steps include:
[0077] (1) Using the same sample, an OV-1701 column (the chromatographic column in Example 1) and a DB-5 column (specifications: 30 m×0.32 mm×0.25 μm) were used for detection. The remaining steps were carried out in accordance with Example 1.
[0078] (2) Compare the separation and peak shape of methanol.
[0079] The results are as follows: when the OV-1701 column is used for detection, the symmetry factor of the methanol peak is 0.98, and the separation degree is ≥1.5; when the DB-5 column is used for detection, the methanol peak is tailing (symmetry factor 1.3), and the separation degree from the impurities is ≤1.0; the above comparison results show that the chromatographic column selected by the present invention has a better separation effect.
[0080] Comparative Example 2
[0081] This comparative example investigates the effect of carrier gas flow rate on the detection effect. The experimental steps include:
[0082] (1) Set the carrier gas flow rate to 20 mL / min and measure the methanol content. The remaining steps are carried out as in Example 1. Compare the results with those at carrier gas flow rates of 25 mL / min and 30 mL / min.
[0083] The results are as follows: When the carrier gas flow rate was 25 mL / min and 30 mL / min, the methanol content was 15.2 ppm and 15.6 ppm, and the RSD was 0.7% and 1.1%; when the condition (1) was used for detection, the methanol content was 14.1 ppm, RSD = 2.5%, and the peak broadening was obvious.
[0084] The results showed that the unoptimized conditions (20 mL / min) led to an increase in the deviation of the test results, verifying the rationality of the parameters of the present invention.
[0085] In summary, the present invention provides a method for detecting methanol, an intermediate product of low-methanol-grade glutaraldehyde produced from acetylene, which solves the problem in the prior art of the lack of an analytical method for detecting low-methanol intermediate products of glutaraldehyde produced from acetylene. Products can only be shipped after being tested and confirmed as qualified according to the test method provided by the present invention and a test report is issued, thereby ensuring the qualified rate before shipment.
