Abstract:

A comprehensive analytical method based on isotope dilution-ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the determination of α-,β-,γ-hexabromocyclododecane in textiles. Various textile samples were extracted under 10.3 MPa and 80 ℃ by accelerated solvent extraction method with two static cycles using hexane-acetone(1∶1, volume ratio) as the extraction solvent. The reconstructed solution was then cleaned up by ENVI-CarbⅡ/PSA solid phase extraction cartridge. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out for the analyte under the MRM mode after the chromatographic separation on Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH phenyl(50 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column with methanol-water gradient elution. The limit of quantitation(LOQs) for α-,β-,γ-hexabromocyclododecane was 0.5 μg/kg. The mean recoveries at the three spiked levels of 0.5—10 μg/kg were 84.2%—93.7%, with the intra-day precision less than 10% and the inter-day precision less than 12%. This method is accurate, rapid, sensitive and adapt to the inspection of hexabromocyclododecane in textiles.
