【国外标准】 Standard Test Method for Determination of Diethanolamine, Triethanolamine, N-Methyldiethanolamine and N-Ethyldiethanolamine in Water by Single Reaction Monitoring Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (L

5.1 N-Ethyldiethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine and triethanolamine are Schedule 3 compounds under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Schedule 3 chemicals include those that have been produced, stockpiled or used as a chemical weapon, poses otherwise a risk to the object and purpose of the CWC because they possess such lethal or incapacitating toxicity as well as other properties that might enable it to be used as a chemical weapon, poses otherwise a risk to the object and purpose of the CWC by virtue of it’s importance in the production of one or more chemicals listed in Schedules 1 or 2, or it may be produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not prohibited under the CWC.4 Ethanolamines have a broad spectrum of applications. They are used to produce adhesives, agricultural products, cement grinding aids, concrete additives, detergents, specialty cleaners, personal care products, gas treatments, metalwork, oil well chemicals, packaging and printing inks, photographic chemicals, rubber, textile finishing, urethane coatings, textile lubricants, polishes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Ethanolamines are readily dissolved in water, biodegradable and the bio-concentration potential is low.55.2 This test method has been investigated for use with reagent and surface water.1.1 This procedure covers the determination of diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine and N-ethyldiethanolamine (referred to collectively as ethanolamines in this test method) in surface water by direct injection using liquid chromatography (LC) and detected with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). These analytes are qualitatively and quantitatively determined by this test method. This test method adheres to single reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry.1.2 This test method has been developed by U.S. EPA Region 5 Chicago Regional Laboratory (CRL).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.4 The Detection Verification Level (DVL) and Reporting Range for the ethanolamines are listed in Table 1.TABLE 1 Detection Verification Level and Reporting RangeAnalyte DVL (μg/L) Reporting Range (μg/L)Diethanolamine 5 25–500Triethanolamine 5 25–500N-Ethyldiethanolamine 5 25–500N-Methyldiethanolamine 10 50–5001.4.1 The DVL is required to be at a concentration at least 3 times below the Reporting Limit (RL) and have a signal/noise ratio greater than 3:1. Fig. 1 displays the signal/noise ratios at the DVLs and at higher concentrations for N-methyldiethanolamine.FIG. 1 Example SRM Chromatograms Signal/Noise Ratios1.4.2 The reporting limit is the concentration of the Level 1 calibration standard as shown in Table 2 for diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and N-ethyldiethanolamine and Level 2 for N-methyldiethanolamine. The reporting limit for N-methyldiethanolamine is set at 50 μg/L due to poor sensitivity at a 5 μg/L concentration which did not meet the DVL criteria. The DVL for N-methyldiethanolamine is at 10 μg/L, which forces a raised reporting limit (chromatograms are shown in Fig. 1). However, the multi-laboratory validation required a spike of all target analytes at 25 μg/L. The mean recovery for N-methyldiethanolamine at this level was 88 % as shown in Table 3. If your instrument’s sensitivity can meet the requirements in this test method, N-methyldiethanolamine may have a 25 μg/L reporting limit.TABLE 2 Concentrations of Calibration Standards (PPB)Analyte/Surrogate LV 1 LV 2 LV 3 LV 4 LV 5 LV 6 LV 7Diethanolamine 25 50 75 150 250 350 500Triethanolamine 25 50 75 150 250 350 500N-Ethyldiethanolamine 25 50 75 150 250 350 500N-Methyldiethanolamine 25 50 75 150 250 350 500Diethanolamine-D8 (Surrogate) 25 50 75 150 250 350 500TABLE 3 Multi-Laboratory Recovery Data in Reagent WaterAnalyte Spike Conc.(ppb) # Results # Labs Bias PrecisionMeanRecovery(%) MinRecovery(%) MaxRecovery(%) Overall SD(%) Pooledwithin-labSD (%) OverallRSD (%) Pooledwithin-labRSD (%)Diethanolamine 25 24 6 96.34 51.00 156.96 31.31 10.96 32.50 9.49Diethanolamine 50 24 6 101.41 54.00 154.80 29.54 7.97 29.13 7.91Diethanolamine 200 24 6 101.57 61.00 138.00 20.98 10.50 20.66 10.85Diethanolamine 425 24 6 102.06 70.00 138.82 17.98 5.90 17.61 5.70Triethanolamine 25 24 6 87.70 35.96 157.20 27.00 25.18 30.79 27.48Triethanolamine 50 24 6 94.95 67.00 121.66 16.39 9.57 17.26 9.66Triethanolamine 200 22 6 105.00 79.50 132.00 14.06 11.81 13.39 11.52Triethanolamine 425 24 6 96.94 40.00 144.94 27.56 4.41 28.43 5.76N-Ethyldiethanolamine 25 24 6 90.61 31.00 132.00 39.42 7.47 43.51 10.42N-Ethyldiethanolamine 50 23 6 111.88 49.00 146.00 28.71 7.19 25.66 7.56N-Ethyldiethanolamine 200 24 6 106.20 60.00 134.00 23.09 11.96 21.74 12.23N-Ethyldiethanolamine 425 24 6 99.67 51.00 130.00 23.07 4.68 23.15 6.01N-Methyldiethanolamine 25 24 6 88.43 41.72 133.60 25.24 13.29 28.55 16.70N-Methyldiethanolamine 50 24 6 102.28 56.00 153.80 25.85 8.73 25.27 8.22N-Methyldiethanolamine 200 24 6 101.02 59.00 136.50 20.07 9.51 19.87 9.54N-Methyldiethanolamine 425 24 6 94.75 63.00 115.76 15.02 3.34 15.85 3.72Diethanolamine-D8 (Surrogate) 200 96 6 103.02 60.00 151.95 21.13 9.40 20.51 9.251.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
