1、Designation: D7599 09Standard Test Method forDetermination of Diethanolamine, Triethanolamine,N-Methyldiethanolamine and N-Ethyldiethanolamine in Waterby Single Reaction Monitoring Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7599; th

A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.

3、Scope1.1 This procedure covers the determination of diethanola-mine, triethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine andN-ethyldiethanolamine (referred to collectively as ethanola-mines in this test method) in surface water by direct injectionusing liquid chromatography (LC) and detected with tandemmass spe

4、ctrometry (MS/MS). These analytes are qualitativelyand quantitatively determined by this method. This methodadheres to single reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrom-etry.1.2 This test method has been developed in support of theNational Homeland Security Research Center, US EPA byRegion 5 Chicago Re

5、gional Laboratory.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 The Detection Verification Level (DVL) and ReportingRange for the ethanolamines are listed in Table 1.1.4.1 The DVL is required to be at a concentration a

6、t least3 times below the Reporting Limit (RL) and have a signal/noise ratio greater than 3:1. Fig. 1 displays the signal/noiseratios at the DVLs and at higher concentrations forN-methyldiethanolamine.1.4.2 The reporting limit is the concentration of the Level 1calibration standard as shown in Table

7、2 for diethanolamine,triethanolamine, and N-ethyldiethanolamine and Level 2 forN-methyldiethanolamine. The reporting limit forN-methyldiethanolamine is set at 50 g/L due to poor sensi-tivity at a 5 g/L concentration which did not meet the DVLcriteria. The DVL for N-methyldiethanolamine is at 10 g/L,

8、which forces a raised reporting limit (chromatograms areshown in Fig. 1). However, the multi-laboratory validationrequired a spike of all target analytes at 25 g/L. The meanrecovery for N-methyldiethanolamine at this level was 88 % asshown in Table 3. If your instruments sensitivity can meet therequ

9、irements in this test method, N-methyldiethanolamine mayhave a 25 g/L reporting limit.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices a

10、nd determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

20、ificance and Use5.1 N-Ethyldiethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine andtriethanolamine are Schedule 3 compounds under the ChemicalWeapons Convention (CWC). Schedule 3 chemicals includethose that have been produced, stockpiled or used as achemical weapon, poses otherwise a risk to the object andpurpose

21、 of the CWC because they possess such lethal orincapacitating toxicity as well as other properties that mightenable it to be used as a chemical weapon, poses otherwise arisk to the object and purpose of the CWC by virtue of itsimportance in the production of one or more chemicals listed inSchedules
