2、original adoption or, in the case of revision, 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 test method covers the identification and simulta-neou
3、s measurement of purgeable volatile organic compounds.It has been validated for treated drinking water, wastewater,and ground water. This test method is not limited to theseparticular aqueous matrices; however, the applicability of thistest method to other aqueous matrices must be demonstrated.1.2 T
4、his test method is applicable to a wide range of organiccompounds that have sufficiently high volatility and low watersolubility to be efficiently removed from water samples usingpurge and trap procedures. Table 1 lists the compounds thathave been validated for this test method.This test method is n
5、otlimited to the compounds listed in Table 1; however, theapplicability of the test method to other compounds must bedemonstrated.1.3 Analyte concentrations up to approximately 200 g/Lmay be determined without dilution of the sample. Analytesthat are inefficiently purged from water will not be detec
6、tedwhen present at low concentrations, but they can be measuredwith acceptable accuracy and precision when present in suffi-cient amounts.1.4 Analytes that are not separated chromatographically, butthat have different mass spectra and noninterfering quantitationions, can be identified and measured i
7、n the same calibrationmixture or water sample. Analytes that have very similar massspectra cannot be individually identified and measured in thesame calibration mixture or water sample unless they havedifferent retention times. Coeluting compounds with verysimilar mass spectra, such as structural is
8、omers, must bereported as an isomeric group or pair.Two of the three isomericxylenes are examples of structural isomers that may not beresolved on the capillary column, and if not, must be reportedas an isomeric pair.1.5 It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the validityof this test method
9、for untested matrices.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.7 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 sta

Summary of Test Method4.1 Volatile organic compounds with low water-solubilityare purged from the sample matrix by bubbling an inert gasthrough the aqueous sample. Purged sample components are
32、trapped in a tube containing suitable sorbent materials. Whenpurging is complete, the sorbent tube is heated and backflushedwith inert gas to desorb the trapped sample components into acapillary gas chromatography (GC) column interfaced to amass spectrometer (MS). The GC column is temperatureprogram
33、med to separate the test method analytes which arethen detected with the MS. Compounds eluting from the GCcolumn are identified by comparing their measured massspectra and retention times to reference spectra and retentiontimes in a database. Reference spectra and retention times foranalytes are obt
34、ained by the measurement of calibrationstandards under the same conditions used for the samples. Theconcentration of each identified component is measured byrelating the MS response of the quantitation ion produced bythat compound to the MS response of the quantitation ionproduced by a compound that
35、 is used as an internal standard.Surrogate analytes, whose concentrations are known in everysample, are measured with the same internal standard calibra-tion procedure.5. Significance and Use5.1 Purgeable organic compounds have been identified ascontaminants in treated drinking water, wastewater, gr
36、oundwater, and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)leachate. These contaminants may be harmful to the environ-ment and to people. Purge and trap sampling is a generallyapplicable procedure for concentrating these components priorto gas chromatographic analysis.D5790 95 (2012)26. Interfe
37、rences6.1 During analysis, major contaminant sources are volatilematerials in the laboratory and impurities in the inert purginggas and in the sorbent trap. Avoid the use of plastic tubing orthread sealants other than PTFE, and avoid the use of flowcontrollers with rubber components in the purging d
38、evice.These materials out-gas organic compounds that will beconcentrated in the trap during the purge operation. Analysesof laboratory reagent blanks provide information about thepresence of contaminants. When potential interfering peaks arenoted in laboratory reagent blanks, the analyst should chan
39、gethe purge gas source and regenerate the molecular sieve purgegas filter. Reagents should also be checked for the presence ofcontaminants. Subtracting blank values from sample results isnot permitted.6.2 Interfering contamination may occur when a samplecontaining low concentrations of volatile orga
40、nic compounds isanalyzed immediately after a sample containing higher con-centrations of volatile organic compounds. Experience gainedfrom the test method validation has shown that there is acarryover of approximately 2 % of the concentration of eachanalyte from one sample to the next. The effect wa
41、s observedwhen samples containing 1 g/L of analyte were analyzedimmediately after samples containing 20 g/L of analyte. Forthat reason, when low concentrations of analytes are measuredin a sample, it is very important to examine the results of thepreceding samples and interpret the low-concentration
42、 resultsaccordingly. One preventive technique is between-sample rins-ing of the purging apparatus and sample syringes with twoportions of reagent water.After analysis of a sample containinghigh concentrations of volatile organic compounds, one ormore laboratory reagent blanks should be analyzed to c
43、heck forcross contamination. After analyzing a highly contaminatedsample, it may be necessary to use methanol to clean thesample chamber, followed by heating in an oven at 105C.6.3 Samples can be contaminated by diffusion of volatileorganics through the septum seal into the sample duringshipment and
44、 storage. The analytical and sample storage areashould be isolated from all atmospheric sources of volatileorganic compounds, otherwise random background levels mayresult. Since methylene chloride will permeate through PTFEtubing, all gas chromatography carrier gas lines and purge gasplumbing should
45、 be constructed of stainless steel or coppertubing. Personnel who have been working directly with sol-vents such as those used in liquid/liquid extraction proceduresshould not be allowed into the analytical area until they havewashed and changed their clothing.TABLE 1 Compounds Validated for This Te
