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.展开更多

[Methods]Volatile components of collected T. mongolicus flower and leaves were separated by headspace solid-phase microextraction( SPME) and identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry( GC/MS) and normallized by peak area. [Results] A total of 24 and 14 compounds were identified from flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus in the total ion chromatogram,accounting for 99. 573% and 97. 187% of the total peak area,respectively. Main components of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus include phenols and terpenes,and thymol accounts for 35. 38% and 49. 13% of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus,respectively. [Conclusions] SPME-GC/MS can be applied in analyzing volatile components of flowers and leaves of T. mongolicus,to provide basis for further development and utilization of T. mongolicus.展开更多

The main volatiles from Mosla chinensis Maxim were studied in this paper. It can be seen that 61 compounds were separated and identified. Forty-nine volatile compounds were identified by SPME method, mainly including myrcene, a-terpinene, p-cymene, （E）-ocimene, thymol, thymol acetate and （E）-fl-farnesene. Forty-five major volatile compounds were identified by LPME method, including a-thujene, a-pinene, camphene, butanoic acid, 2-methylpropyl ester, myrcene, butanoic acid, butyl ester, a-terpinene, p-cymene, （E）-ocimene, butane, 1,1-dibutoxy-, thymol, thymol acetate and （E）-fl-farnesene. After analyzing the volatile compounds, multiple linear regression （MLR） method was used for building the regression model. Then the quantitative structure-retention relationship （QSRR） model was validated by predictive-ability test. The prediction results were in good agreement with the experimental values. The results demonstrated that headspace SPME-GC-MS and LPME-GC-MS are the simple, rapid and easy sample enrichment technique suitable for analysis of volatile compounds. This investigation provided an effective method for predicting the retention indices of new compounds even in the absence of the standard candidates.展开更多
