The invention relates to the field of analysis and detection, and discloses a method for detecting multiple chelating agents in daily
chemical products, which comprises the following steps: methylating a to-be-detected sample by using a
diazomethane methylation reagent to obtain a to-be-detected solution; carrying out liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry detection on the to-be-detected liquid by adopting a specific
elution program to obtain a chromatogram; and performing qualitative and / or quantitative analysis on the chelating agent in the to-be-detected sample according to the chromatogram. By adopting the detection method disclosed by the invention, efficient detection of various chelating agents (including DTPA, DTPMP, EDTMPA, HDTEPA, EGTA, HEDP, EDTA, NTA, GLDA, PBTC, MGDA, IDS, HEEDTA, HPAA, DTPA-OH, CA and
ATMP) can be realized, meanwhile, interference of other components in daily
chemical products on detection can be avoided, and relatively high detection sensitivity and accuracy of the chelating agents can be realized.
