Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers

3、the determination of (Tri-n-butyl)-n-tetradecylphosphonium chloride (TTPC) in water bydilution with acetone, filtration and analysis by liquidchromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. This test methodis not amenable for the analysis of isomeric mixtures ofTributyl-tetradecylphosphonium chloride. TTPC

4、 is a biocidethat strongly adsorbs to soils.2The water samples are preparedin a solution of 75 % acetone and 25 % water because TTPChas an affinity for surfaces and particles. The reporting rangefor this method is from 1004000 ng/L. This analyte isqualitatively and quantitatively determined by this

5、method.This test method adheres to multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) mass spectrometry.1.2 A full collaborative study to meet the requirements ofPractice D2777 has not been completed. This test methodcontains single-operator precision and bias based on single-operator data. Publication of standards

An isotopically labeled TTPBr-D29 surrogate is now available and should be incorporated intothis method by

16、the user if requested by the customer.87.5 mLof acetone is them added and the solution is mixed by hand orvortex for 1 minute. The samples are then filtered through aNylon membrane syringe driven filter unit9and then analyzedby LC/MS/MS. All concentrations reported only to the report-ing limit.4.3 T

17、TPC is identified by comparing the single reactionmonitoring (SRM) transition and its confirmatory SRM tran-sitions if correlated to the known standard SRM transition(Table 3) and quantitated utilizing an external calibration.

All of thematerials and supplies are routinely demonstrated to be freefrom interferences of TTPC by analyzing laboratory blanksunder the same conditions as the samples. If found, measuresshould be taken to remove the contamination or data should beq
