Standard method for hygienic examination ofbenzene, toluene and xylene in air ofresidential areas --Gas chromatography 1 Subject content and scope of application
This standard specifies the determination of the concentration of benzene, toluene and xylene in air ofresidential areas by gas chromatography. GB 11737--89
This standard is applicable to the determination of the concentration of benzene, toluene and xylene in air of residential areas. It is also applicable to the determination of the concentration of benzene, toluene and xylene in indoor air.
1.1 Detection limit
When the sampling volume is 10L, the thermal desorption is 100mL gas sample, and 1mL is injected, the detection limits of benzene, toluene and xylene are 0.005mg/m3, 0.01mg/m2 and 0.02mg/m3 respectively. If 1mL of liquid sample extracted with carbon disulfide is used and 1μL is injected, the detection limits of benzene, toluene and xylene are 0.025mg/m3, 0.05mg/m3 respectively. and 0.1mg/m3. 1.2 Measurement range
When using activated carbon tube to collect gas sample 10L, thermal desorption, the measurement range of benzene is 0.005~10mg/m3, toluene is 0.01~10mg/m3, xylene is 0.02~10mg/m, when carbon disulfide is extracted, the measurement range of benzene is 0.025~~20mg/m2, toluene is 0.05~20mg/m3, xylene is 0.1~20mg/m3.
1.3 Interference and elimination
When the amount of water vapor or water mist in the air is too large, so that it condenses in the carbon tube, it seriously affects the penetration capacity and sampling efficiency of the activated carbon tube. When the air humidity is 90%, the sampling efficiency of the activated carbon tube still meets the requirements. The interference of other pollutants in the air has been eliminated by selecting appropriate chromatographic separation conditions due to the use of gas chromatography separation technology. 2 Principle
Benzene, toluene and xylene in the air are collected with activated carbon tubes, then extracted by thermal desorption or carbon disulfide, separated by polyethylene glycol 6000 chromatographic column, detected by hydrogen flame ionization detector, qualitative by retention time and quantitative by peak height. 3 Reagents and materials

6 Analysis steps
6.1 Chromatographic analysis conditions
Since chromatographic analysis conditions often vary due to different experimental conditions, the best chromatographic analysis conditions for analyzing benzene, toluene and xylene should be formulated according to the model and performance of the gas chromatograph used. The chromatographic analysis conditions listed in Appendix B (reference) are an example. 6.2 Drawing standard curves and determining calculation factors Under the same conditions as the sample analysis, draw standard curves and determine calculation factors. 6.2.1 Drawing a standard curve with mixed standard gas Use a micro syringe to accurately take a certain amount of benzene, toluene and xylene (at 20℃, 1μL of benzene weighs 0.8787mg, toluene weighs 0.8669mg, and o-, m-, and p-xylene weigh 0.8802, 0.8642, and 0.8611mg respectively) and inject them into a 100mL syringe respectively. Use nitrogen as the base gas to prepare a standard gas of a certain concentration. Take a certain amount of benzene, toluene and xylene standard gas and inject them into the same 100mL syringe respectively to mix them, and then use nitrogen to dilute them step by step to form a mixed gas of benzene, toluene and xylene at four concentration points within the range of 0.02-2.0μg/mL. Take 1mL of sample and measure the retention time and peak height. Repeat 3 times for each concentration and take the average peak height. Draw a standard curve with the content of benzene, toluene and xylene (μg!mL) as the horizontal axis and the average peak height (mm) as the vertical axis. And calculate the slope of the regression line, and use the reciprocal of the slope Bg [μg/(mL·mm)] as the calculation factor for sample determination. 6.2.2 Use standard solution to draw standard curve
In 3 50mL volumetric flasks, first add a small amount of carbon disulfide, use a 10μL syringe to accurately measure a certain amount of benzene, toluene and xylene and inject them into the volumetric flasks respectively, add carbon disulfide to the scale, and prepare a stock solution of a certain concentration. Before use, take a certain amount of stock solution and dilute it with carbon disulfide step by step to make a mixed standard solution with benzene, toluene and xylene contents of 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.2μg/mL. Take 1μL of sample for injection respectively, measure the retention time and peak height, repeat 3 times for each concentration, take the average peak height, and draw the standard curve with the content of benzene, toluene and xylene (μg/μL) as the horizontal axis and the average peak height (mm) as the vertical axis. And calculate the slope of the regression line, and use the reciprocal of the slope Bsμg/(μL·mm) as the calculation factor for sample determination. 146
6.2.3 Determination of correction factor
GB11737—89
When the stability of the instrument is poor, the correction factor can be calculated by the single-point correction method. While the sample is being determined, take 1mL of standard gas or 1μL of standard solution with a concentration close to that of benzene, toluene and xylene in the sample thermal desorption gas (or carbon disulfide extract), respectively, and operate according to 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 to measure the chromatographic peak height (mm) and retention time of the zero concentration and the standard, and calculate the correction factor using formula (1). f

Connect the sampled activated carbon tube with a 100mL syringe and place it on the thermal desorption device. Desorb with nitrogen at a rate of 50-60mL/min at 350℃. The desorption volume is 100mL. Take 1mL of desorbed gas into the chromatographic column. Use retention time for qualitative analysis and peak height (mm) for quantitative analysis. Analyze each sample three times and calculate the average peak height. At the same time, take an unsampled activated carbon tube and perform the same operation as the sample tube to determine the average peak height of the blank tube.
6.3.2 Carbon disulfide extraction method injection
Pour the activated carbon into a stoppered graduated test tube and add 1.0mL carbon disulfide, plug the tube tightly, leave it for 1h, and shake it occasionally. Take 1μL into the chromatographic column, use retention time for qualitative analysis and peak height (mm) for quantitative analysis. Each sample is analyzed three times and the average peak height is calculated.
