12、 of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards 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.

13、International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take 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 wit

14、h the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is 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 approv

16、ee ISO/TC 147, Water quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Physical, chemical and biochemical methods. ISO 7981 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water quality Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH): Part 1: Determination of six PAH by high-performance thin-layer chroma

17、tography with fluorescence detection after liquid-liquid extraction Part 2: Determination of six PAH by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection after liquid-liquid extraction BS ISO 7981-2:2005 v Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are present in nearly all

18、 types of waters. These substances are adsorbed on solids (sediments, suspended matter) as well as dissolved in the liquid phase. Some PAH are known or suspected to cause cancer. The maximum acceptable levels of PAH in waters intended for human consumption are given in European Legislation 1 2 3 4 .

19、 The sum of the mass concentrations of the six PAH specified in this part of ISO 7981 usually is about 0,01 g/l to 0,05 g/l in ground water, up to 1 g/l in surface water, and up to 1 000 g/l in waste water. blank1 Water quality Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) Part 2: Determin

20、ation of six PAH by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection after liquid-liquid extraction WARNING Some compounds being measured are presumed to be carcinogenic. Acetonitrile and hexane are harmful. Persons using this part of ISO 7981 should be familiar with normal laborat

21、ory practise. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 7981 to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IM

22、PORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this part of ISO 7981 be carried out by suitably trained staff. 1 Scope This part of ISO 7981 specifies the determination of six selected PAH in drinking, mineral and table waters and ground and surface waters in mass concentration

23、s above 0,005 g/l, by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection after liquid-liquid extraction. The six PAH are: fluoranthene, benzobfluoranthene, benzoapyrene, benzokfluoranthene, indeno1,2,3-cdpyrene, and benzoghiperylene (see Table 1). With some modification, this method

24、is also applicable for the analysis of moderately polluted waste waters. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the reference

25、d document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 8466-1, Water quality Calibration and evaluation of analytical methods and estimation of performance characteristics Part 1: Statistical evaluation of the linear calibration function 3 Principle Since PAH can to a large extent be adsorbed on particu

26、late matter, the whole sample is analysed. NOTE For the analysis of surface water, a differentiation between dissolved and undissolved PAH can be desirable, but this is not relevant for drinking water. BS ISO 7981-2:2005 2 PAH are extracted from the water sample by liquid-liquid extraction. The extr

27、act is evaporated to dryness and the residue is taken up in a solvent and analysed. Extracts of surface waters and other contaminated water samples should be cleaned on silica (8.4) prior to analysis. PAH are then separated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on suitable stationary phas

28、es under isocratic conditions, identified and quantified by means of fluorescence detection at a constant combination of excitation and emission wavelengths.

30、4.1 Interferences with sampling and extraction Use sampling containers made of materials (preferably of glass or steel) that do not affect the sample during the contact time. Avoid plastics and other organic materials during sampling, sample storage or extraction. If automatic samplers are used, avo

31、id the use of silicone or rubber material for the tubes. If present, make sure that the tubes are as short as possible. Rinse the sampling line with the water to be sampled before the test sample is taken. ISO 5667-2 and ISO 5667-3 can be used for guidance. BS ISO 7981-2:20053 Keep the samples from

32、direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to light. During storage of the test sample, losses of PAH can occur due to adsorption on the walls of the containers. The extent of the losses depends on the storage time. 4.2 Interferences with the HPLC Substances that show either fluorescence or quenching an

33、d co-elute with the PAH to be determined can interfere with the determination. These interferences can lead to incompletely resolved signals and can, depending on their magnitude, affect accuracy and precision of the analytical results. Peak overlaps will prevent the measurement of peak height and/o

34、r area. Unsymmetrical peaks and peaks broader than the respective peaks of the reference substance suggest interferences. 5 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade (e.g. “for residue analysis” or “for HPLC analysis”) as far as available, and only distilled water or water of equival

35、ent purity showing the lowest possible fluorescence. Monitor the blank to guarantee that the reagents do not contain PAH in detectable concentrations (see Clause 12). 5.1 Solvents 5.1.1 Solvents for extraction and clean-up of the extract 5.1.1.1 Cyclohexane, C 6 H 125.1.1.2 Hexane, C 6 H 145.1.1.3 D

36、ichloromethane, CH 2 Cl 2Other volatile solvents may be used as well, if it is proved that the recovery is equivalent or better. NOTE Dichloromethane often contains stabilizers, e.g. ethanol or amylene. Stabilizers can influence the elution strength of the eluent. Without stabilizer, free radicals m

37、ight develop. This can lead to degradation of PAH. The presence of hydrogen chloride indicates the presence of radicals. Hydrogen chloride can be determined by extracting dichloromethane with water and measuring the pH value. 5.1.2 HPLC solvents 5.1.2.1 Methanol, CH 3 OH 5.1.2.2 Acetonitrile, CH 3 C

38、N 5.1.2.3 Tetrahydrofuran, C 4 H 8 O, without stabilizer NOTE Tetrahydrofuran can contain peroxides. Although peroxides have not yet shown to cause any interference with the HPLC determination, it is preferred to use batches with low peroxide content (regularly checked using test rods). It is of adv

39、antage to use small packages. 5.2 Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, Na 2 S 2 O 3 5H 2 O 5.3 Sodium chloride, NaCl 5.4 Sodium sulfate, Na 2 SO 4 , anhydrous, precleaned by heating to 500 C. 5.5 Nitrogen, having a purity (volume fraction) of at least 99,999 %.

NOTE Prepacked silica cartridges are commercially available. 5.8 Molecular sieve beads, pore size 0,4 nm. 5.9 Reference substances (see T

41、able 1) Because of the dangerous nature of the substances to be used, it is highly recommended to use commercially available, preferably certified, standard solutions. Avoid skin contact. 5.10 Single-substance stock solutions, of those listed in Table 1, diluted in acetonitrile (5.1.2.2) to a mass c

42、oncentration of, for example, 10 g/ml. 5.11 Multiple-substance stock solution, preferably certified, diluted in acetonitrile (5.1.2.2) to a mass concentration of, for example, 10 g/ml for each individual compound. 5.12 Calibration solutions Prepare at least five calibration solutions by appropriate

43、dilution of the stock solution (5.11), using methanol (5.1.2.1) or acetonitrile (5.1.2.2) as solvent. The choice of solvent depends on the composition of the mobile phase. For example, using 50 l of the stock solution (5.11) in a graduated 10 ml flask (6.16), make up to volume with acetonitrile (5.1

44、.2.2) or methanol (5.1.2.1). 1 l of this reference solution contains 50 pg of the respective individual substance. NOTE The solutions 5.10 to 5.12 are stable for at least one year when stored in the dark at room temperature and protected from evaporation. 6 Apparatus Standard laboratory equipment cl
