Analyzing crude oils from the Junggar Basin(NW China) using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC×GC-TOFMS)

As a new technology of analyzing crude oils,comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC×GCTOFMS) has received much research attention.Here we present a case study in the Junggar Basin of NW China.Results show that the hydrocarbons,including saturates and aromatics,were all well-separated without large coelution,which cannot be realized by conventional one-dimensional GC-MS.The GC×GC technique is especially effective for analyzing aromatics and low-to-middlemolecular-weight hydrocarbons,such as diamondoids.The geochemical characteristics of crude oils in the study area were investigated through geochemical parameters extracted by GC×GC-TOFMS,improving upon the understanding obtained by GC-MS.Thus,the work here represents a new successful application of GC×GCTOFMS,showing its broad usefulness in petroleum geochemistry.

Determination of 7 Indictor Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Residues in Porphyra by Ultrasonic Extraction and Gas Chromatography (GC)

A method was developed for determination of 7 indictors the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) residues in porphyra by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detector (ECD). The PCBs were extracted with hexane/methylene chloride (1:1, v/v) by ultrasonic extraction and the samples were cleaned up by concentrated sulfuric acid and Alumina-N solid phase extraction cartridge. The analytes were quantified by an internal standard method. Under optimal experimental conditions, good linearity was observed in the range of 5 - 200 ng/mL and the correlation coefficients were 0.9994 - 0.9998. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for target analytes ranged from 6.0 to 10.0 μg/kg. At the spiked levels of 10, 50, 100 μg/kg, the average recoveries ranged from 90.9% to 102% with the relative standard deviations 2.12% - 6.32%. The result showed that the proposed method was rapid, and could be used for the determination of the PCBs in porphyra.

A GC×GC-ToFMS Investigation of the Unresolved Complex Mixture and Associated Biomarkers in Biodegraded Petroleum

Heavy biodegraded crude oils have larger numbers of coeluting compounds than nonbiodegraded oils, and they are typically not resolved with conventional gas chromatography（GC）. This unresolved complex mixture（UCM） has been investigated using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry（GC×GC-To FMS） within a set of biodegraded petroleums derived from distinct sedimentary basins, including northwestern Sichuan（Neoproterozoic, marine）, Tarim（Early Paleozoic, marine）, Bohai Bay（Eocene, saline/brackish） and Pearl River Mouth（Eocene, freshwater）. In general, the hydrocarbons that constitute the UCM in petroleum saturate fractions can be classified into three catalogues based on the distributions of resolved compounds on two dimensional chromatograms. Group 1 is composed mainly of normal and branched alkanes, isoprenoid alkanes and monocyclic alkanes; Group 2 comprises primarily terpanes ranging from two to five rings, and Group 3 is dominated by monoaromatic hydrocarbons such as tetralins and monoaromatic steranes. In addition, the UCM is source dependent and varies between oil populations. i.e., the UCM of petroleum derived from Precambrian and Early Paleozoic marine, Eocene saline/brackish and freshwater source rocks is specifically rich in higher homologues of A-norsteranes, series of 1,1,3-trimethyl-2-alkylcyclohexanes（carotenoid-derived alkanes）, and tetralin and indane compounds, respectively.

Determining organic compounds in coking wastewater by SPME-GC /MS

The solid-phase microextraction （SPME） combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry （GC/MS） was used to determine and analyze organic pollutants in coking wastewater. Based on the fact that the main compounds in the wastewater were organics, some key parameters of the SPME were optimized. The method has good linearity （ its correlation coefficients 〉 0.99） in the range determined,its relative standard deviations （RSD） are less than 15%, and its recovery is from 87.9% to 128.1% with the lowest quantification limit of 5 ~g/L. This method has been used to measure 15 organic pollutants in wastewater from a certain coking plant. The results show that compared with the conventional method,it can save an hour in pretreatment time. It is a fast, low-cost, accurate, simple and efficient analytical method indeed.

Effective and inexpensive gas chromatography method for detection of trace level SO_2 in H_2 fuel

Gas chromatography （GC） analysis of sulfer dioxide is challenging because SO2 is a highly mobile and chemically active molecule. For the conventional GC method with flame photometric detector （FPD） and direct-injection, it is often ineffective particularly when the SO2 level is as low as on the trace level. In this paper, a modified GC system integrated with an adsorption-desorption device was developed to detect the trace SO2 impurity in H2 fuel. Adsorbent GDX-502 is used in the adsorber to adsorb/collect SO2 from the sample gas and desorb/release it in a concentrated flow so that the conventional GC at downstream could detect it with an acceptable accuracy.

程序升温汽化大体积进样气相色谱法同时测定空气中的甲醛及其他10种羰基污染物（英文）

Long-term indoor-air limit for formaldehyde stipulated by the European Commission is 1 μg/m3,while the World Health Organization has set a threshold of 100 μg/m3 that should not be exceeded for more than 30 min. To date,however,only a few analytical techniques have been developed that can be used to detect formaldehyde at these very restrictive limits. Thus,there is a need to develop for comprehensive methods for analyzing airborne formaldehyde and other carbonyl pollutants in the ambient environment. The aim of this study is to develop a highly sensitive online automated preconcentration gas chromatographic method using large-volume injection with a programmed temperature vaporization injector for the analysis of airborne formaldehyde and ten other carbonyl compounds. The influence of several parameters,such as the maximum volume injected,programmed temperature vaporization transfer time and temperature,carrier gas flow rate,and type of packing material was investigated. After optimization,highly satisfactory results in terms of the absolute and methodological detection limits were achieved,i. e. as low as the μg/m3 level for all the carbonyl pollutants studied. A commercially available sampler,originally designed for active sampling,was evaluated as a passive sampling device;this optimized technique was applied to monitor the concentrations of carbonyl pollutants in the indoor air of ten public buildings in Florence. The strength of this methodology lies both in the low detection limits reached in the simultaneous analysis of a wide group of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives,and the potential adaptability of this method to other gas chromatographic applications to achieve lower sensitivity.

气相色谱法探究聚醚醚酮的热降解及热氧化降解（英文）

Poly(ether ether ketone)(PEEK)was synthesized via polycondensation of hydroquinone with 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone at 320℃for 5 h.Thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of PEEK was studied over a wide range of temperatures.In an inert medium,decomposition of the polymer occurred in one stage,with the formation of a coke residue accounting for approximately 50%of the original polymer mass.In air,the mass loss curve exhibited two distinct stages.The first stage involved breakdown of the main polymer chain,the speed of which indicated a radical chain failure mechanism.In the second stage,the rate of mass loss clearly decreased,indicating a transition from the radical chain failure mechanism to simple combustion reactions(wherein the polymer combusted completely).To further investigate the nature of the processes occurring during the pyrolysis of PEEK,the investigations were carried out using gas chromatograph under isothermal conditions.It was concluded that during thermal degradation,the decomposition of the polymer starts with the rupture of ketone and ether bonds and proceeds to destruction of the benzene ring at higher temperatures,which is accompanied by the formation of H2O and CH4.Above 500℃,the polymer degradation further involved thermohydrolysis.The thermo-oxidation of PEEK,which was accompanied mainly by the formation ofH2,was noticeable beginning at 325℃.The total yield of the latter indicated oxidation of fragments of the benzene ring.

气相色谱分析中是否一定要用质谱检测器? (英文)

The detector,as well as being an essential supporting device for the gas chromatography(GC) has also played a critical role in the development of the technique as a whole.The mass spectrometer(MS) is still the commonly praised detector as before.In fact,the information of fragmentation patterns is seldom used in practice,and the GC-MS instrument is even more expensive.For today's analytical problems,it seems that element specific detectors can and should be used for many applications rather than GC-MS.
