海洋沉积物中正构烷烃和多环芳烃同步萃取与检测方法优化

Optimization of a Simultaneous Extraction and Detection Method for n-Alkanes and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Marine Sediments

  • 摘要: 正构烷烃与多环芳烃是重建海洋古气候、示踪有机质来源与评价人类活动污染的关键分子指标。目前针对该两类物质的检测仍沿用分别前处理、分别检测方式;对于两类物质共提,一般采用极性较大的氯仿-甲醇、氯仿-丙酮等混合溶剂提取,从而导致共提杂质较多,降低定量准确度。本方法采用极性较小的正己烷-丙酮(4∶1)作为提取溶剂,在保证各组分回收率前提下,减少共提杂质,提高检测准确性。通过优化气相色谱升温程序实现34种正构烷烃、16种多环芳烃及3种多环芳烃替代物(萘-D8、苊-D10、对三联苯-D14)共计53种化合物在80 min内完全基线分离。方法学考察表明,50种目标物在10 ng/mL~20 μg/mL范围内有良好的线性关系,相关系数均大于0.999。正构烷烃检出限为0.04~1.35 ng/g,定量限0.16~5.40 ng/g;多环芳烃检出限为0.14~0.43 ng/g,定量限0.56~1.72 ng/g。在三个不同的添加水平下(1倍、2倍和8倍定量限),目标化合物回收率为60%~130%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为0.22%~7.04% (n = 6)。两类物质的检出限和定量限均低于标准方法要求,回收率符合标准要求,适用于海洋沉积物中正构烷烃和多环芳烃的同步萃取和检测。

     

    Abstract: n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) serve as key molecular indicators for reconstructing a marine paleoclimate, tracing organic matter sources, and evaluating anthropogenic pollution. Current literature still employs separate pretreatment and detection methods for these two substance categories. For co-extraction, highly polar mixed solvents such as chloroform–methanol or chloroform–acetone are typically used, resulting in numerous co-extracted impurities that reduce quantitative accuracy. n-hexane–acetone (4:1, V/V) was employed as the extraction solvent with lower polarity. This approach minimized co-extracted impurities while ensuring recovery rates of all components, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to effectively separate all 53 compounds under the same temperature program, with a total detection time of only 80 min. A new method was established for the simultaneous extraction and detection of 53 compounds in marine sediments, encompassing 34 n-alkanes and 16 PAHs, along with PAH surrogates including naphthalene-D8, anthracene-D10, and p-terphenyl-D14. Methodological evaluation results indicated that 50 compounds exhibit good linearity within the range of 10 ng/mL to 20 μg/mL, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.999. The method detection limits (MDLs) for n-alkanes ranged from 0.04 to 1.35 ng/g, while the method quantification limits (MQLs) ranged from 0.16 to 5.40 ng/g. For PAHs, the MDLs ranged from 0.14 to 0.43 ng/g, with MQLs from 0.56 to 1.72 ng/g. At three spiking levels (1×, 2×, and 8× the MQL), the recovery rates for target compounds ranged from 60% to 130%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging from 0.22% to 7.04% (n = 6). The MDLs and MQLs for both substance categories were below standard method requirements, and recovery rates met standard criteria. This work is applicable to the simultaneous extraction and detection of n-alkanes and PAHs in marine sediments.
