The invention discloses a method for determining coexisting impurities and trace arenes in methanol simultaneously. In the method, gas chromatography is performed on methanol, and an external standard method is used for quantitatively determining the contents of the coexisting impurities and the trace arenes in the methanol, wherein the coexisting impurities refer to methyl acetate, acetone and ethanol, the trace arenes comprise the following components: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene, styrene and phenol. The coexisting components and the common arenes types in the methanol are considered in the method simultaneously, thus the simultaneous determination method for the eleven components in the methanol is established in an optimization manner. The simultaneous determination of multiple components is beneficial to saving of manpower and material resources to a great extent, acceleration of the detection speed, and accurate judgment of the polluted arenas types in methanol during storage and transportation. The method has the advantages of convenience for operation, low detection cost, accuracy, sensitivity and high efficiency.
