1、Designation: D4763 06 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Practice forIdentification of Chemicals in Water by FluorescenceSpectroscopy1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4763; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,
2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice allows for the identification of 90 chemi-cals that may be found in water or in surface lay
3、ers on water.This practice is based on the use of room-temperature fluores-cence spectra taken from lists developed by the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard (1).2Ref(1) is the primary source for these spectra. This practice is alsobased on the assumption that such chemic
4、als are either presentin aqueous solution or are extracted from water into anappropriate solvent.1.2 Although many organic chemicals containing aromaticrings, heterocyclic rings, or extended conjugated double-bondsystems have appreciable quantum yields of fluorescence, thispractice is designed only
5、for the specific compounds listed. Ifpresent in complex mixtures, preseparation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), column chroma-tography, or thin-layer chromatography (TLC) would probablybe required.1.3 If used with HPLC, this practice could be used for theidentification of fluoresce
6、nce spectra generated by opticalmultichannel analyzers (OMA) or diode-array detectors.1.4 For simple mixtures, or in the presence of other non-fluorescing chemicals, separatory techniques might not berequired. The excitation and emission maximum wavelengthslisted in this practice could be used with
7、standard fluorescencetechniques (Refs 2-6) to quantitate these ninety chemicals onceidentification had been established. For such uses, generationof a calibration curve, to determine the linear range for use offluorescence quantitation would be required for each chemical.Examination of solvent blank
8、s to subtract or eliminate anyfluorescence background would probably be required.1.5 This standard does not purport to address the safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine t
9、he applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.

If this issuspected, the solution should be diluted
18、and additional fluo-rescence spectra generated. If a suspected chemical is notdetected on excitation at the appropriate wavelength, it usuallycan be assumed that it is not present above the detection limit,barring interference effects due to absorption or quenching thatcan usually be anticipated.5.
19、Significance and Use5.1 This practice is useful for detecting and identifying (ordetermining the absence of) 90 chemicals with relatively highfluorescence yields (see Table 1). Most commonly, this practicewill be useful for distinguishing single fluorescent chemicals insolution, simple mixtures or s
20、ingle fluorescing chemicals in thepresence of other nonfluorescing chemicals. Chemicals withhigh fluorescence yields tend to have aromatic rings, someheterocyclic rings or extended conjugated double-bond sys-tems. Typical chemicals included on this list include aromatics,substituted aromatics such a
21、s phenols, polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons (PAHs), some pesticides such as DDT, poly-chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), some heterocyclics, and someesters, organic acids, and ketones.TABLE 1 Summary of Experimental Parameters and ResultsChemical CodeConcentra-tions, ppmSolvent lexc,nm lmaxem,nmNumberof P

41、ldetection techniques (OMAs and diode arrays), this practicecan be used to determine these 90 chemicals even in complexmixtures containing a number of other fluorescing chemicals.D4763 06 (2012)3With the use of appropriate excitation and emission wave-lengths and prior generation of calibration curv
42、es, this practicecould be used for quantitation of these chemicals over a broadlinear range.5.3 Fluorescence is appropriately a trace technique and athigher concentrations (greater than 10 to 100 ppm) spectraldistortions usually due to self-absorption, or inner-filter effectsbut sometimes ascribed t
43、o fluorescence quenching, may beobserved. These effects can usually be eliminated by dilutingthe solution. Detection limits can be lowered following iden-tification by using broader slit widths, but this may result inspectral broadening and distortion.5.4 This practice assumes the use of a corrected
44、 spectro-fluorometer (that is, one capable of producing corrected fluo-rescence spectra). On an uncorrected instrument, peak shiftsand spectral distortions and changes in peak ratios may benoted. An uncorrected spectrofluorometer can also be used ifappropriate data is generated on the instrument to
45、be used.6. Interferences6.1 For the identification of compounds with low fluores-cence yields and relatively high detection limits, the presenceof other chemicals with high fluorescence yields emitting in thesame spectral region, for example, anthracene, fluorescein, etc.,may interfere unless separa
46、tory techniques are employed.6.2 Some naturally occurring fluorescing materials, such ashumic acids from leaf mold, may also interfere with theidentification of chemicals with relatively low fluorescenceyields especially at dilute concentrations of the hazardouschemicals, especially for emission in
47、the near ultraviolet.6.3 Since light must be absorbed before being reemitted,colored solutions, or solutions with absorbances greater than0.02 at the excitation or emission wavelengths of interest willalso interfere. Such solutions usually require further dilution.6.4 Halogenated solvents and other
48、solvents containingpossible quenchers are not recommended for this applicationsince they may raise detection limits.7. Apparatus7.1 Scanning Fluorescence Spectrophotometer or Spectro-fluorometer, corrected to give constant emission intensityto 65 to 10 % for fluorescence spectra over the spectral ra
49、ngescanned, normally from 220 to 600 nm. The spectral correctionshould be checked using an appropriate chemical such asanthracene for which the peak ratios of the corrected fluores-cence peaks are known. The instrument should have anappropriate excitation source such as a high-pressure xenonlamp or other continuum source with at least 150 or 250 W.Band widths should be adjustable to at least 5 nm for excitationslit widths and at least 2 nm for emission slit widths. Anappropriate photomultiplier tube with good detection charac-teristics over the 250 to 700 nm spectral range.
