22、: EUDirective 2005/84/EC, USConsumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008section 108,JapanHealth, Labor and Welfare Ministry guideline No.336 (2010). This test method provides a procedure to identify andquantify regulated phthalates in PVC.5.2 Other techniques successfully used to separate and ide

23、ntify phthalates in PVC include GC/MS, HPLC/UV, HPLC/MS,FTIR, and GC/FID (flame ionization detector).6. Interferences6.1 Retention times for GC are dependent on several variables and it is possible to have two or more components with identicalretention times. The analyst shall take the necessary ste

24、ps to insure that adequate separation of the plasticizer components isachieved and or the ions used to monitor for a target phthalate are free of interference. This includes, but is not limited to changingthe selectivity of the chromatographic column. Calibration by standard addition offers the adva

Any and allsolvents used to prepare standards and sample solutions must be free of contamination.TABLE 1 Ions and Ion Ratios Used to Identify Each PhthalateDBP BB

See Fig. 1 for a typical chromatogram.10.3 Solution #2Dissolve 200 mg of the sample in 10 mL THF (200 mg/10 mL). Shake (or sonicate) the solution for five

36、minutessee Note 6. The solution is likely to range from clear to slightly cloudy. Place 10 L of the sample solution in a cleansample cup. Evaporate the solvent; the sample is ready to analyze. See Figs. 2 and 3 for example chromatograms.NOTE 6A critical step in the accurate determination of phthalat

Typical ch

43、romatograms are shown in Figs.2 and 3. The precision of the TD method is shown in Fig. 3.11.4 Peak identifications are based on relative retention data, full scan extracted ion chromatograms of both the quant andconfirming ions and the ion area ratios as indicated in Table 1. Phthalate quantitation

44、is based upon the peak areas of the quantFIG. 1 Solution #1Phthalates Standard Mixture (see 10.2)D7823 164ions listed in Table 1. The assumption being made is that the sole source of the quant ion at a predetermined retention time is thephthalate. Use the peak area of the quant ion can be used to ac

45、curately determine the amount of the phthalate.11.5 If using selected ion monitoring (SIM), peak identification is based solely on the presence or absence of the quant ion andthe two confirming ions at a predetermined retention time. Quantitation is based on the area of the quant ion.11.6 When DINP

46、and DIDP are both present in a sample or standard, use m/z 127 as a qualifying ion for DINP and m/z 289for DIDP. This is because DINP and DIDP partially coelute and both produce m/z 149 and 167. If 149 qualifier ion ratios are setwhen DINP and DIDP are at equal concentrations, then any samples with

47、different ratios will produce substantially different149/167 ratios, potentially leading to a false negative.NOTE 9A typical total ion chromatogram obtained using the conditions specified in 11.2 is shown in Fig. 1. Because the absolute retention times areFIG. 2 Solution #2Chromatograms (TIC) of PVC

49、. Analyze Solution #3. A typical total ion chromatogram is shown in Fig. 4.Analytical precision is presented in the table at the bottom of Fig. 4. Standard addition is very useful when it is difficult to eliminateinterferences from the sample matrix.
