The test method re-quires an initial qualitative characterization step involving bothfluorescence emission and synchronous spectroscopy in orderto select appropriate calibration standards with similar fluores-cence spectra as compared to the samples (see Annex A1 forthe defini

Since the purpose and intent of the two testmethods are different, one should not be substitut

17、ed for the other.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for characterization and rapidquantification of PAH mixtures including petroleum oils, fuels,creosotes, and industrial organic mixtures, either waterborne orobtained from tanks.5.2 The unknown PAH mixture is first characterized b

18、y itsfluorescence emission and synchronous scanning spectra. Thena suitable site-specific calibration standard with similar spectralcharacteristics is selected as described in Annex A1. Thiscalibration standard may also be well-characterized by otherindependent methods such as gas chromatography (GC

19、), GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), or high performance liquidchromatography (HPLC). Some suggested independent ana-lytical methods are included in References (1-7)4and TestMethod D4657. Other analytical methods can be substituted byan experienced analyst depending on the intended data qualityobjective

20、s. Peak maxima intensities of appropriate fluores-cence emission spectra are then used to set up suitablecalibration curves as a function of concentration. Furtherdiscussion of fluorescence techniques as applied to the char-acterization and quantification of PAHs and petroleum oils canbe found in Re

21、ferences (8-18).5.3 For the purpose of the present test method polynucleararomatic hydrocarbons are defined to include substituted poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with functional groups such ascarboxyl acid, hydroxy, carbonyl and amino groups, andheterocycles giving similar fluorescence responses

22、to PAHs ofsimilar molecular weight ranges. If PAHs in the more classicdefinition, that is, unsubstituted PAHs, are desired, chemicalreactions, extractions, or chromatographic procedures may berequired to eliminate these other components. Fortunately, forthe most commonly expected PAH mixtures, such

23、substitutedPAHs and heterocycles are not major components of themixtures and do not cause serious errors.6. Interferences6.1 The fluorescence spectra may be distorted or quantifi-cation may be affected if the sample is contaminated with anappreciable amount of other fluorescent chemicals that areexc

24、ited and which fluoresce in the same spectral regions withrelatively high fluorescence yields. Usually the fluorescencespectra would be distorted at levels greater than 1 to 2 % ofsuch impurities before the quantification would be seriouslyaffected.NOTE 2Caution: Storage of samples in improper conta

25、iners (forexample, plastics other than TFE-fluorocarbon) may result in contamina-tion.NOTE 3Spectroquality solvents may not have low enough fluores-cence background to be used as solvent blanks. Solvent lots vary in thecontent of fluorescent impurities that may increase with storage time evenfor uno

26、pened bottles.NOTE 4This test method is normally used without a matrix spike dueto possible fluorescence interference by the spike. If a spike is to be used,it must fluoresce in a spectral region where it will not interfere with thequantification process. Compounds that could be used are dyes thatfl

27、uoresce at longer wavelengths than the emission of the PAH mixture.6.2 If the PAH mixture to be analyzed is a complex mixturesuch as an oil or creosote, it is assumed that a well-characterized sample of the same or similar material is avail-able as a calibration standard so the fluorescent fraction

28、of themixture can be ratioed against the total mixture. Otherwise,since the samples and standards are weighed, the nonfluores-cent portion of the mixture would bias the quantificationalthough the characterization portion of the test method forPAHs given in Annex A1 would be unaffected.7. Apparatus7.

29、1 Fluorescence SpectrometerAn instrument recordingin the spectral range of 250 nm to at least 600 nm for bothexcitation and emission responses and capable of scanningboth monochromators simultaneously at a constant speed witha constant wavelength offset between them for synchronousscanning. The inst

Consult manufacturers instrument manu-als for specific operating instructions.NOTE 5Although the characterization section of this test method(given in Annex A1) is similar to Test Me

31、thod D3650 in many respects,there are differences in the purpose and intents of the two test methods.The purpose of the characterization step of this test method is to find anoil with similar fluorescence properties as the sample in order to serve asan appropriate calibration standard for quantifica

32、tion. Other differencesbetween the test methods are instrumentation requirements and the use ofsynchronous spectra as well as emission spectra for this test method.7.2 Excitation SourceA high-pressure xenon lamp (a150-W continuous xenon lamp or a 10-W pulsed xenon lamphas been proven acceptable). Ot

38、and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsUse spectroquality grade reagentsin all instances unless otherwise stated. Since the goal is tohave as low a fluorescence blank as possible, and sincedifferent brands and lots of spectroquality solvent may vary,check reagents frequently.8.2 Purity of WaterReference

42、in Practices D4489.9. Sampling and Sample Preparation9.1 Collect a representative sample (see Practices D4489 forwater samples).9.2 Preserve samples in containers as specified in PracticeD3325. Do not cool samples below 5C to avoid dewaxing ofoil or creosote samples.9.3 Neat PAH samples (including s

43、urface films or layers onwater) require only dilution in spectroquality cyclohexane.Prepare initial concentration for the unknown at 100 g/mL fora check of the fluorescence signal. Further dilutions down to 1/mL may be needed to bring the fluorescence signal into thelinear range and to avoid self-ab

44、sorption effects in the solution.Most PAH mixtures and oils have been found to be soluble incyclohexane at the concentrations listed. Alternative solventscan be substituted with appropriate tests.9.4 If any unknown PAH mixture is dissolved in water, testthe mixture with appropriate dilutions or prec

45、oncentrations asrequired. The assumption is that no naturally-occurring fluo-rescent materials such as humic or fulvic acids are present atlevels interfering with the determination (refer to Fig.A2.5 andFig. A2.6 to show that humic acid does not interfere with thetest method even at high (g/L) level

46、s). This usually becomesa problem only at PAH levels in the low g/L range. Extractionmethods (or separation by column chromatography) are listedin Practice D3326.9.4.1 An extraction method that proved satisfactory for thecollaborative test is as follows:9.4.1.1 Pour 50.0 mL of the sample into a sepa

47、ratory funnel,add 5.0 mL of cyclohexane and shake for 2 min. Vent theseparatory funnel occasionally. Withdraw the aqueous layer(keep this for a second extraction). Collect the cyclohexaneextract in a 10-mL volumetric flask. Add 5.0 mL of cyclo-hexane to the aqueous layer and perform a second extract

48、ion.Combine the two extracts and dilute to 10.0 mL with cyclo-hexane.9.4.1.2 For field use, it has proven satisfactory to use areagent bottle instead of a separatory funnel. Pour 50.0 mL ofthe sample in the bottle and add 5.0 mL of cyclohexane, shakefor 2 min and collect most of the top layer with a

49、 Pasteur pipet.It is important to collect most of the top layer to maximizepercent recovery (tilt the flask to see the separation between thetwo layers more easily). Add 5.0 mL of cyclohexane to theaqueous layer and perform a second extraction. Combine thetwo cyclohexane extracts and dilute to 10.0 mL with cyclo-hexane.9.4.1.3 See 12.6 to check extraction recoveries. Other ex-traction methods can be used at the discretion of the analyst, byadding an appropriate solvent exchange step to cyclohexaneand by checking for recoveries and interferences. As is alway
