Gas streams with hi

For these samples, quality assur-ance (QA) requirements are provided in the test method tovalidate the analysis of polar, water-soluble compounds.1.4 The instrument range should be sufficient to meas

The range may be extended to higher orlower concentrations using either of the following procedures:1.4.1 The initial three-point calibration concentrations andth

10、e continuing calibration checks are adjusted to match thestack concentrations, or1.4.2 The three-point calibration is extended to includeadditional concentrations to cover the measurement range.1.5 The minimum quantification level is 50 % of the lowestcalibration concentration. Responses below this

11、level areconsidered to be estimated concentrations, unless a calibrationstandard check is conducted at a lower concentration todemonstrate linearity. The sensitivity of the GCMS measure-ment system for the individual target analytes depends upon:1.5.1 The specific instrument response for each target

Summary of Test Method4.1 AnalysisVolatile Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants(VOHAP) are analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) tosepa

22、rate the individual compounds and mass spectrometry(MS) to identify the compounds. The MS scans a defined massrange (usually from 45 to 300 atomic mass units (amu) forcombustion sources) to identify the specific fragments for eachmolecule. The target analytes are identified positively by: (1)compari

23、ng eluting analyte GC peak retention times in the totalion chromatograph (TIC) to those contained in a three-pointcalibration, and (2) examining the mass spectral pattern of theeluted peaks. Internal standards are used to correct forhardware-related errors such as different injection volumes,operati

24、onal temperature fluctuations, and electron multiplierdrift.4.2 SamplingSamples are extracted from the stack or ductat a constant rate, filtered, conditioned (if required), andtransported to the GCMS for analysis. Calibration gases areintroduced at the extractive probe outlet, upstream of theprimary

Interferences6.1 Analytical InterferencesAnalytical interferences oc-cur when chromatographic peak(s) and quantification ion(s)overlap to such an extent that quantification of specific targetcompounds is prohibited.

28、 The nature of the GCMS techniquevirtually eliminates these types of analytical interferences.However, compounds having very simple mass spectra (that is,only one or two mass fragments) may be difficult to identifypositively.6.2 Sampling System InterferencesSampling system inter-ferences occur when

29、target analytes are not transported to theinstrumentation or when compounds damage the measurementsystem components. Water, reactive particulate matter, adsorp-tive sites within the sampling system components, and reactivegases are examples of such potential sampling system interfer-ences. Specific

30、provisions and performance criteria are in-cluded in this test method to detect and prevent the presence ofsampling system interferences.7.

Properly vent the exhaust gases.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Calibration StandardsBecause of the incompatibil

46、-ity of some target compounds, many gas blends at eachconcentration may be needed to construct a calibration curvefor all of the 36 target analytes listed in 1.1. Obtain or generatecalibration standards of each target compound at nominalconcentrations of 300 ppb(v), 1 ppm(v), and 10 ppm(v) byeither

47、of the following options:FIG. 1 Example Direct Interface GCMS Measurement SystemD 6420 99 (2004)310.1.1 Option 1Obtain calibration gas standards for thetarget compounds at the three specified nominal concentra-tions.10.1.2 Option 2Obtain 10 ppm(v) calibration standardsfor the target analytes. Then s

48、uccessively dilute the 10 ppm(v)standard with ultra-pure nitrogen using mass flow meters.Dilute the 10 ppm(v) standard to 1 ppm(v) and then the 1ppm(v) to 300 ppb(v). If Option 2 is used, analyze thecalibration check (see Table 5) compounds directly as a QAaudit of the dilution technique. The audit

49、result using thecalibrated GCMS must be within 620 % for the calibration tobe valid.10.1.3 Option 2 for preparation of the three-point calibra-tion curve may also generate concentration levels above andbelow the suggested concentration range. It is necessary, whenusing this option, to audit the calibration curve using a certifiedcalibration standard independent from those used to prepare thecurve.10.1.4 If the QA audit results are not within 20 % of theexpected value, corrective action must be taken.10.2 Mass Flow MetersFor Option 2, calibrate the mass
