Abstract
A method is described for the determination of organotins in water samples by GC/MS. Optimized derivatization methods for ethylation and hydrogenation of organotins were surveyed according to various reaction conditions such as time, pH and concentration of reagents. The organotins were extracted with n-hexane in presence of 0.1% tropolone and hydrogenated with sodium borohydride. Extraction recoveries of organotins with hydrogenation were in the range of 61-112%. After ethylation, organotins in water samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE). Using LLE, extraction recoveries were in the range of 74-113%. The recoveries ranged from 61-97% in the case of SPE with styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. Method detection limits of hydrogenated and ethylated organotins ranged from 0.05 to 0.5 ng/ml and from 0.02 to 0.05 ng/ml, respectively.
본 연구에서는 GC/MS를 이용하여 수질시료로부터 7종의 유기주석화합물을 분석하는 방법을 연구하였다. Hydrogenation과 ethylation의 반응시의 pH, 반응시간, 반응시약의 농도 등을 변화시켜 최적 반응조건을 조사하였다. n-Hexane을 용매로 사용한 액체-액체 추출 후 hydrogenation에 의한 유기주석염화물의 추출 회수율은 61-112% 범위로 나타났다. 물시료에서 ethylation한 후 n-hexane으로 추출한 경우의 추출 회수율이 74-113% 범위로 나타나 hydrogenation의 경우보다 높은 추출율을 보였다. 또한 ethylation후 styrene-divinylbenzene (SDB) 재질의 disk형의 고체상을 사용하고 추출 용매로 methylene chloride를 사용한 경우 61-97% 범위의 회수율을 나타냈다. Hydrogenation과 ethylation에 의한 검출한계는 각각 0.05-0.5 ng/ml와 0.02-0.05 ng/ml로 나타났다.
