摘要
An analytical method is described for the separation, identification, and quantification of a number of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) in three fossil fuel-related samples including two Standard Reference Materials (SRMs), SRM 1597 (coal tw) and SRM 1582 (petroleum crude oil), and a decant oil. The compounds measured include the 3 possible naphtho[b]thiophenes; dibenzothiophene and selected methyl-, ethyl-, dimethyl-, and trimethyl-substituted isomers; the 3 possible benzo[b]naphthothiophenes; and the 30 methylbenzo[b]naphthothiophenes isomers. Because of the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and PASHs together with their large number of possible alkyl-substituted isomers, the analytical method described requires a number of prerequisites: effective sample cleanup, selective stationary phases, and selective methods of detection. The sample cleanup involves solid-phase extraction using aminopropylsilane cartridges with different solvent mixtures followed by normal-phase liquid chromatographic isolation of the PASHs based on the number of aromatic carbons. These aromatic ring fractions are then separated by capillary gas chromatography using two stationary phases with different selectivities, 5% phenyl-substituted methylpolysiloxane stationary phase and 50% phenyl-substituted methylpolysiloxane stationary phase, and analyzed with mass-selective detection and atomic emission detection. A liquid crystalline stationary phase was also used to separate the methylbenzo[b]naphthothiophene isomers in the crude oil sample. Advantages and limitations of each chromatographic and detection technique are discussed.
