Abstract:
In order to analyze the disinfection by-products in reclaimed water, a rapid analyzing method of the THMs (Trihalomethanes), a types of the disinfection by-product, has been developed by using static headspace sampling, capillary gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and ion selective quantitative analysis through the optimization of headspace sampling, chromatography and mass spectrometry testing conditions. The results show that the fragment ions (A) of connecting two halogen atoms and their isotope ions (A+2, A+4) are of much higher peak abundance than other mass ions in the mass spectrum of four THMs (including chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, dibromochloroethane, bromoform). It is highly specific, selective and representative to choose the character ions for the THMs quantitative analysis, and at the same time the method sensitivity is also improved. An external standard method is used to quantitively analyze the THMs in the reclaimed water based on the sum of selected ion monitoring (∑SIM) of m/z 83, 85, 87 for a chloroform and a dichlorobromomethane, m/z 127, 129, 131 for dibromochloroethane, and m/z 171, 173, 175 for bromoform. The method recoveries range from 83.4% to 112.2%, the relative standard deviations (RSD) are from 3.5 percent to 8.2 percent, and the detection limits are less than 0.21 μg/L. THMs concentration of the reclaimed water is above 100 μg/L.
