海洋沉积物中正构烷烃和多环芳烃同步萃取与检测方法优化

Optimization of Simultaneous Extraction and Detection Methods for n-Alkanes and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Marine Sediments

  • 摘要: 正构烷烃与多环芳烃是重建海洋古气候、示踪有机质来源与评价人类活动污染的关键分子指标。目前针对该两类物质的检测仍沿用分别前处理、分别检测方式;对于两类物质共提,一般采用极性较大的氯仿-甲醇、氯仿-丙酮等混合溶剂提取,从而导致共提杂质较多,从而降低定量准确度。本方法采用极性较小的正己烷-丙酮(4∶1)作为提取溶剂,在保证各组分回收率前提下,减少了共提杂质,提高了检测准确性,GC-MS在同一升温程序下53种化合物全部有效分离,总检测时间仅80 min,建立了一种海洋沉积物中正构烷烃和多环芳烃共计53种化合物同步萃取和检测的方法,涵盖34种正构烷烃及16种多环芳烃以及萘-D8、苊-D10、对三联苯-D14多环芳烃替代物。方法学考察表明,53种化合物在10 ng/mL~20 μg/mL范围内有良好的线性关系,相关系数均大于0.999。正构烷烃检出限为0.04~1.35 ng/g,定量限0.16~5.40 ng/g;多环芳烃检出限为0.14~0.43 ng/g,定量限0.56~1.72 ng/g。在三个不同的添加水平下(1倍、2倍和8倍定量限),目标化合物回收率为60%~130%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为0.22%~7.04% (n = 6)。两类物质的检出限和定量限均低于标准方法要求,回收率符合标准要求,适用于海洋沉积物中正构烷烃和多环芳烃的同步萃取和检测。

     

    Abstract: N-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons serve as key molecular indicators for reconstructing marine paleoclimate, tracing organic matter sources, and evaluating anthropogenic pollution. Current literature still employs separate pretreatment and detection methods for these two substance categories. For co-extraction, highly polar mixed solvents such as chloroform-methanol or chloroform-acetone are typically used, resulting in numerous co-extracted impurities that reduce quantitative accuracy. Our study employed n-hexane-acetone (4∶1) as the extraction solvent with lower polarity. This approach minimized co-extracted impurities while ensuring recovery rates of all components, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. GC-MS effectively separated all 53 compounds under the same temperature program, with a total detection time of only 80 min. A new method was established for the simultaneous extraction and detection of 53 compounds in marine sediments, encompassing 34 n-alkanes and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), along with PAH surrogates including naphthalene-D8, anthracene-D10, and p-tritylbenzene-D14. Methodological evaluation results indicate that 53 compounds exhibit good linearity within the range of 10 ng/mL to 20 μg/mL, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.999. The detection limits for n-alkanes range from 0.04 to 1.35 ng/g, while the quantification limits range from 0.16 to 5.40 ng/g. For polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the detection limits ranged from 0.14 to 0.43 ng/g, with quantification limits from 0.56 to 1.72 ng/g. At three spiking levels (1×, 2×, and 8× the QL), recovery rates for target compounds ranged from 60% to 130%, with relative standard deviations (RSD) ranging from 0.22% to 7.04% (n = 6). The detection limits and quantification limits for both substance categories were below standard method requirements, and recovery rates met standard criteria. This work is applicable for the simultaneous extraction and detection of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine sediments.
