Determination of Benzene Compounds in Environmental Air - Special Gas Chromatography

1、 InstrumentIntroduction

Benzene series compounds, also known as aromatic organic compounds (MACHs), are a general term for benzene and its derivatives. However, benzene series compounds are generally a collective term for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, styrene, and trimethylbenzene. Benzene series compounds are common compounds in the atmospheric environment and many pollutant source gases. They have certain harmful effects on human health and are important pollutants in the environment. There are two methods for determining benzene derivatives in gases:

Activated carbon adsorption carbon disulfide desorption gas chromatography method: This method uses activated carbon adsorption and carbon disulfide desorption. The sensitivity of this analytical method is low, and the carbon disulfide used often contains benzene that is difficult to remove. But this method does not require special pre-processing equipment, and one sample can be analyzed multiple times, especially when analyzing benzene derivatives with large concentration differences or high concentrations.

Thermal desorption injection gas chromatography method: This method involves the desorption of benzene derivatives from the adsorbent by heating after the sample is adsorbed by the adsorbent. Then, the benzene derivatives are carried to the chromatographic column for separation and analysis using a carrier gas. This method has high sensitivity, does not require the use of organic reagents, and has low background values. However, since the sample is injected once, multiple sampling analyses are sometimes required when the concentration of the sample cannot be determined

Shanghai Kechuang Chromatography Instrument Co., Ltd. has accumulated more than ten years of experience in specialized gas chromatographs for environmental air analysis. It has applied for multiple related technologies and continuously improved and optimized the instruments. The adsorption tube adopts the U-shaped tube of Sci Tech Innovation Technology, which is directly inserted into the heating block for rapid and uniform heating, and has good desorption effect.

Customers can choose between primary thermal desorption or secondary thermal desorption for sampling, or they can choose carbon disulfide desorption for sampling. One thermal desorption is achieved by directly desorbing and injecting the sample through an adsorption tube; Secondary thermal desorption refers to the adsorption of samples through adsorption tubes and secondary cold focusing, resulting in high recovery rates, good peak shapes of components, and high separation efficiency.

The HL-800 secondary thermal desorption analyzer produced by the company can be used in conjunction with various types of domestic and imported gas chromatographs or gas chromatographs, and can also be retrofitted with existing scientific and technological gas chromatographs.
