大气环境中挥发性有机化合物的测定

Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds in Atmospheric Environment

参考美国环保局大气中挥发性有机化合物 (VOCs)的标准分析方法TO14A和TO15 ,采用预浓缩器与气相色谱联用 ,以质谱或氢火焰离子化检测器检测 ,建立了 5 6种VOCs(主要是臭氧前体物 )的快速分析方法。该方法在同一台仪器上采用单柱、单检测器 ,准确测定了高浓度CO2 下的VOCs。方法检出限为 0 1μg·m-3 ,相对标准偏差(RSD)为 2 5 7%～ 9 82 %。用该法分析了实际大气样品中的VOCs。

It is well known that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the main photochemical pollutants and ozone precursors of the photochemical smog Investigation of photochemical pollution in the ambient air must focus on VOCs, but the concentration of VOCs in ambient air is in a very low level (10 -9 10 -12 ,volume fraction), so there are difficulties in the determination of VOCs In this work, based on the TO14A and TO15 methods recommended by the Enviromental Protection Agency of United States, an improved method for the determination of fifty six VOCs, mainly O 3 precursors, in atmospheric environment was developed Operating conditions of VOCs preconcentrator, gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC MS) were optimized Air sample was first frozen by liquid nitrogen, and then H 2O and CO 2 were eliminated in the VOCs preconcentrator The preconcentrated VOCs sample was injected to GC and detected by MS or hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) The C2 C10 hydrocarbons were separated effectively in capillary columns under the high concentration of CO 2 The detection limits were 0 1 μg·m -3 and the relative standard deviations were in the range from 2 57% to 9 82% This method has been used for the determination of VOCs in real samples The results were satisfactory
