The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical detection, and discloses a method for determining the content of
ethylene glycol and
diethylene glycol in
laundry beads by
gas chromatography. The detection method of the present invention comprises the following steps: weighing the
laundry beads, dissolving them in
methanol after crushing, fixing the volume, and then ultrasonically extracting, centrifuging, filtering, and diluting to obtain a sample solution to be tested; subjecting the sample solution to be tested to
gas chromatography-
mass spectrometry detection to determine whether it contains
ethylene glycol and
diethylene glycol; conducting
gas chromatography detection to obtain the area of the chromatographic peaks of
ethylene glycol and
diethylene glycol, bringing them into the standard working curve, and obtaining the concentration of
ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, and calculating the content of
ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in the
laundry beads. The present invention can accurately measure the content of
ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol components, promote a more standardized market for laundry beads products, reduce the addition of components toxic to the
human body, such as ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, in production, and better protect the rights and interests of consumers.
