Determination of vinyl chloride monomer in pvc pipes for drinking water supply by dissolution precipitation-headspace-gas chromatography
Objective To establish a method for the determination of vinyl chloride monomer in PVCpipes for drinking water supply by dissolution precipitation-headspace-gas chromatography.Methods VF-624 capillary column was used as the separation column.PVC pipes were dissolved with 3 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide(DMA)solution,and then added 1 ml water for precipitation.Headspace gas chromatographic analysis was carried out at 80℃ equilibration for 20 min.Results The linearity of vinyl chloride was good in the range of 0.02-0.25 mg/L,with correlation coefficient of 0.999 5.The average recoveries were 86.8%-92.2%,while the relative standard deviations(RSD)were 2.2%-4.7%,and the limit of detection was 0.016 mg/kg.Conclusion The method has the advantages of simple operation,high sensitivity,good accuracy and precision,and can be used for the determination of vinyl chloride monomer in PVC pipes for drinking water supply.
