The work of preparing International Standar

8、ds is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take

9、 part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is

10、to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In other circumstances, particularly

11、when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to publish other types of document: an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is app

12、roved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote; an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote. An ISO/

13、PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be t

14、ransformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/TS 13907 was prepared by Technical Com

15、mittee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 3, Chemical methods and soil characteristics. iv ISO 2012 All rights reserved ISO/TS 13907:2012(E) Introduction Nonylphenols (NP) are mainly found in the environment as degradation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEO). NPEO have many applica

16、tions as non-ionic detergents in washing and cleaning agents. After use, NPEO are degraded by de-ethoxylation, resulting in polyethoxylates with fewer ethoxy- groups. Nonylphenol-diethoxylates (NP2EO), nonylphenol-monoethoxylates (NP1EO) and nonylphenols (NP) are the last three products in the degra

17、dation chain. Due to their significant presence in sewage sludge, all three components are included in this Technical Specification. This Technical Specification is applicable for several types of matrices and validated for municipal sewage sludge (see also Annex A for the results of the validation)

ISO 2012 All rights reserved v Soil quality Determination of nonylphenols (NP) and nonylphenol-mono- and diethoxylates Method by gas chromatography with mass selective detection (GC-MS) WAR NING Persons using this Technical Specification should be familiar with usual laboratory practice. This Tech

19、nical Specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essentia

20、l that tests conducted according to this Technical Specification be carried out by suitably trained staff. 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of nonylphenols (NP), nonylphenol- monoethoxylates (NP1EO) and nonylphenol-diethoxylates (NP2EO) in sludge, treated

21、 biowaste and soil using GC-MS. For sludge, a limit of detection of 0,1 mg/kg and for soil and treated biowaste of 0,02 mg/kg (expressed as dry matter) may be achieved. Lower limits of detection may be achieved by concentrating the extract by solvent evaporation. NOTE 4-tert-octylphenol can also be

22、analysed with this method. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

25、hromatography and mass spectrometry 3 Principle After pretreatment, the test sample is extracted by shaking with a mixture of acetone and petroleum ether (1:1). If necessary, interfering compounds are removed from the extract by a clean-up on a suitable column. The extract is treated with N-methyl-N

26、-(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoracetamide (MSTFA) reagent for the derivatization (silylation) of the analytes, and subsequently analysed by gas chromatography and mass selective detection (GC-MS). Nonylphenols and nonylphenol-mono- and diethoxylates are identified from the GC fingerprint, the relative ret

27、ention times and the relative intensities of two diagnostic ions. The quantification is based TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 13907:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1 ISO/TS 13907:2012(E) on an internal standard procedure. The internal standards ( 13 C-labelled 4-n-NP and 13 C-labelled 4-n-NP2EO)

28、 are taken through the whole analytical procedure. 4 Interferences 4.1 Interferences from sampling Use sampling containers of materials (preferably glass or steel) that do not significantly affect the sample during the contact through sampling and storage. Plastic containers may be used if it has be

29、en proven that they do not significantly affect the sample. 4.2 Interferences by GC-MS Substances that co-elute with NP, NP1EO or NP2EO and give the same ion(s) may interfere with the determination. This may have a large influence on the result, since all three analytes are determined from the sum o

30、f a cluster of five to nine chromatographic peaks. It is essential that the interfering peaks are not included in the calculations. A peak is excluded if the retention times are not the same as expected from the calibration standard and if the relative peak areas from the two diagnostic ions differ

31、more than 30 % from the same peak in the calibration standard. Interfering peaks may usually be spotted by comparing the fingerprints of the sample with the fingerprints of the calibration standard, although the isomer distribution in the environmental samples may differ from the distribution in the

32、 calibration standard. 5 Reagents 5.1 General All reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade.
