Introduction
Standard Background and Scope of Application
This standard is formulated to meet the monitoring needs of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. As the precursors of ozone and organic aerosols, the accurate determination of VOCs is crucial to the study of air pollution. It is applicable to the analysis method using sampling cylinder collection combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
Core technology and equipment requirements
| Equipment type | Technical requirements | Performance indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling cylinder | Passivated stainless steel material | Volume ≥2.7L, pressure resistance 200kPa |
| Pre-concentration system | Three-stage cold trap module | Can separate H2O/O2/CO2 |
| GC/MS | Electron ionization source | Mass range 35-300u, sweep frequency ≥10Hz |
Key operation process
Sampling phase
Instantaneous sampling: 30 seconds rapid sampling, the operator needs to be downwind; Continuous sampling: the flow rate is controlled by the current limiting device (1-24h).
- Vacuum test of sampling cylinder (≤20Pa)
- Pressure leak test (24h pressure drop <14kPa)
- Blank test (target object not detected)
Analysis phase
Typical chromatographic conditions:
- Chromatographic column: DB-5MS (60m×0.32mm×1μm)
- Program temperature: -50℃(3min)→170℃(4℃/min)→220℃(14℃/min)
- Mass spectrometry mode: full scan (35-300m/z) in parallel with SIM
Method performance indicators
| Parameters | Requirements | Typical value (taking benzene as an example) |
|---|---|---|
| Detection limit (MDL) | 99% confidence level | 0.3nL/L |
| Parallelism RSD | <25% | 15% |
| Spike recovery | 90-120% | 105% |
Implementation suggestions
- Selection of standard materials: NIST traceable mixed gas standards are preferred, and the concentration range should cover 0.5-2 times of environmental samples
- Quality control: Each batch of samples must contain 10% parallel samples, and regular calibration verification of intermediate concentration points (RRF deviation <30%)
- Interference elimination: For polar compounds (such as aldehydes and ketones), it is recommended to add 5% phenyl methyl polysiloxane chromatographic column to assist in analysis
