Using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography for the analysis of oxygenates in middle distillates I. Determination of the nature of biodiesels blend in diesel fuel

In the current energetic context (increasing consumption of vehicle fuels, greenhouse gas emission etc.) government policies lead to mandatory introduction in fossil fuels of fuels resulting from renewable sources of energy such as biomass. Blending of fatty acid alkyl esters from vegetable oils (also known as biodiesel) with conventional diesel fuel is one of the solutions technologically available; B5 blends (up to 5%w/w esters in fossil fuel) are marketed over Europe. Therefore, for quality control as well as for forensic reasons, it is of major importance to monitor the biodiesel origin (i.e. the fatty acid ester distribution) and its content when it is blend with petroleum diesel. This paper reports a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) method that was developed for the individual quantitation of fatty acid esters in middle distillates matrices. Several first and the second dimension columns have been investigated and their performances to achieve (i) a group type separation of hydrocarbons and (ii) individual identification and quantitation of fatty acid ester blend with diesel are reported and discussed. Finally, comparison of quantitative GC x GC results with reference methods demonstrates the benefits of GC x GC approach which enables fast and reliable individual quantitation of fatty acid esters in one single run. Results show that under developed chromatographic conditions, quantitative group type analysis of hydrocarbons is also possible, meaning that simultaneous quantification of hydrocarbons and fatty acid esters can be achieved in one single run.     

Evaluation of chromatographic and spectroscopic methods for the analysis of petroleum-derived compounds in the environment

Summary Analytical protocols have been adapted for the study of hydrocarbons at the trace level in the environment. Various samples, including sediments and biota, were collected from the Kuwaiti environment, treated according to the protocol and analyzed by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The methods used were synchronous scanning fluorescence spectroscopy (SSFS); high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on C18 reversed-phase and NH2 normal-phase columns with UV and fluorescence detectors; gas chromatography on fused-silica capillary columns (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID), mass spectrometer (MS) and flame photometric detector (FPD); and high-resolution molecular spectrofluorimetry in Shpol'skii matrix at 10 K (HRSS). The different methods were found to give complementary information. SSFS was useful for fast evaluation and preliminary assessment of oil pollution during extended programs; it permitted sample selection for deeper analyses but, when applied to biota, needed special care in the clean-up procedure. GC/FID, was used to analyze saturated and ethylenic compounds and was useful for obtaining information on the origin of hydrocarbons but inconvenient for analyzing the aromatic fraction. GC/FPD was difficult to use with sediment samples and yielded little information on biota samples, although it did permit confirmation of high oil contamination in some examples. HPLC on a normal-phase column with UV and fluorescence detectors was useful for the fractionation of samples and for the separation of different families of aromatic compounds according to aromatic carbon number. GC/MS was used to quantify polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of less than four cycles but was not sensitive enough for PAHs of higher molecular weight. HRSS, however, was useful for the quantification of heavy PAHs and was also faster, could be automated, and gave accurate results. However, in an oil-pollution study, it must be backed up by the other techniques. In fact, no single analytical technique was found to be sufficient, and only judicious combinations of the tested techniques yielded adequate information on the origin of hydrocarbons in the environment.     

Monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons of virgin olive oil by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

In the present article, a headspace solid-phase microextraction method coupled to GC/MS was developed and applied for the simultaneous determination of mono- and sesquiterpenic hydrocarbons in virgin olive oils of different olive variety and geographical origin. Analysis of various oils resulted in the simultaneous detection of 15 monoterpenes and 30 sesquiterpenes. Some of these hydrocarbons were previously reported to be constituents of virgin olive oil terpenoid fraction, although we also detected some terpenic hydrocarbons that have not previously been documented as present in virgin olive oil. Significant differences were detected in the proportion of terpenic compounds in oils obtained from different olive varieties grown in different geographical areas. The monoterpene, and particularly the sesquiterpene composition of olive oil may be used to distinguish samples from different cultivar and geographical areas.

Forensic identification of spilled biodiesel and its blends with petroleum oil based on fingerprinting information

A case study is presented for the forensic identification of several spilled biodiesels and its blends with petroleum oil using integrated forensic oil fingerprinting techniques. The integrated fingerprinting techniques combined SPE with GC/MS for obtaining individual petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatic hydrocarbons, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and their alkylated derivatives and biomarkers), and biodiesel hydrocarbons (fatty acid methyl esters, free fatty acids, glycerol, monoacylglycerides, and free sterols). HPLC equipped with evaporative scattering laser detector was also used for identifying the compounds that conventional GC/MS could not finish. The three environmental samples (E1, E2, and E3) and one suspected source sample (S2) were dominant with vegetable oil with high acid values and low concentration of fatty acid methyl ester. The suspected source sample S2 was responsible for the three spilled samples although E1 was slightly contaminated by petroleum oil with light hydrocarbons. The suspected source sample S1 exhibited with the high content of glycerol, low content of glycerides, and high polarity, indicating its difference from the other samples. These samples may be the separated byproducts in producing biodiesel. Canola oil source is the most possible feedstock for the three environmental samples and the suspected source sample S2.

High-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection characterization of Delta5-polyenoic fatty acids in triacylglycerols from conifer seed oils

Edible conifer seeds can serve as a source of triacylglycerols (TGs) with unusual Delta5 unsaturated polymethylene interrupted fatty acids (UPIFAs), such as cis-5,9-octadecadienoic (taxoleic), cis-5,9,12-octadecatrienoic (pinolenic), cis-5,11-eicosadienoic (keteleeronic) and cis-5,11,14-eicosatrienoic acids (sciadonic). Conifer seed oils from European Larch (Larix decidua), Norway Spruce (Picea abies) and European Silver Fir (Abies alba) have been analyzed by non-aqueous reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NARP-HPLC) with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI)-MS detection. The influence of different positions of double bonds in Delta5-UPIFAs on the retention and fragmentation behavior is described and used for the successful identification of TGs in each oil. TGs containing Delta5-UPIFAs have a higher retention in comparison with common TGs found in plant oils with single methylene interrupted Delta6(9)-FAs and also significantly changed relative abundances of fragment ions in APCI mass spectra. Results obtained from HPLC/MS analyses are supported by validated GC/FID analyses of fatty acid methyl esters after the transesterification. The total content of Delta5-UPIFAs is about 32% for European Larch, 27% for Norway Spruce and 20% for European Silver Fir. In total, 20 FAs with acyl chain lengths from 16 to 24 carbon atoms and from 0 to 3 double bonds have been identified in 64 triacylglycerols from 3 conifer seed oils.

GC column effluent splitter for problematic solvents introduced in large volumes: Determination of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in triglyceride matrices as an application

Introduction of solutions of up to several milliliters by on-column injection of large volumes or by coupled HPLC-GC may cause problems with GC detectors (FID, AFID, MS). For instance, dichloromethane forms large amounts of hydrochloric acid and carbon black in FIDs. A column effluent splitter was developed for keeping the major portion of the solvent vapors away from the detector; approximately 99% of the vapor is vented while the remaining 1% of vapor is used for detecting the widths of the solvent peaks. During analysis, the split ratio is reversed by a strong increase of the resistance to the gas flow through the split exit line. The system was used for the determination of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) in triglyceride matrices of various foods. Direct determination by HPLC is not sufficiently sensitive, whereas direct analysis by GC is hindered by the triglycerides. Solutions of fats or oils were pre-separated on a silica column using dichloro-methanelcyclohexane 1:l with addition of 0.05 % acetonitrile as eluent. The HPLC fraction containing the DEHP was transferred to GC through a loop-type interface using concurrent solvent evaporation. Detection limits were around 0.1 ppm.     

Comparison of gas and high performance liquid chromatography with selective detection for determination of triazine herbicides and their degradation products extracted ultrasonically from soil

GC and HPLC with selective detectors were compared for simultaneous determination of triazine herbicides simazine, atrazine, propazine, terbuthylazine, cyanazine, ametryn, prometryn, and atraton, and of their dealkylated degradation products in soil. The compounds were ultrasonically extracted from spiked agricultural soil samples (organic matter content < 5%) with a 2:1 acetone:n‐hexane mixture. High efficiency of GC capillary column and high selectivity of the thermionic sensitive detector (TSD) and ion trap detector (ITD) made it possible to directly analyse uncleaned soil extracts and determine all 12 compounds in one run. In reversed‐phase HPLC with diode‐array detector (DAD), the co‐elution of soil matrix components interfered with the determination of methylthiotriazines and terbuthylazine. The recovery of triazine compounds, determined by GC‐TSD, from a silty sand soil (organic matter content 1.82%, pH 6.22) spiked at levels of 15–600 ng g^–1, were 70–90% (RSD 9–19%), except for deisopropylatraton (38%). GC‐TSD analysis with detection limits of 5–15 ng g^–1 for chloro‐ and methylthiotriazines and 30 ng g^–1 for methoxytriazines was more sensitive than GC‐MS(ITD). GC analysis with electron capture detection was sensitive for some chlorotriazines, but a reliable compound quantification in complex chromatograms of uncleaned soil of extracts was not possible. For all compounds save didealkylatrazine, HPLC‐DAD was at least two times less sensitive than GC‐TSD. Soil/sediment organic matter, clay and silt content, and pH were identified as matrix characteristics which might affect ultrasonic extraction recovery of a particular compound.     

Analysis of 'ARN' naphthenic acids by high temperature gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography

Examination by high temperature GC (HTGC) of the methyl esters of the so-called 'ARN' naphthenic acids from crude oils of North Sea UK, Norwegian Sea and West African oilfields revealed the distributions of resolved 4-8 ring C80 tetra acids and trace amounts of other acids. Whilst all three oils contained apparently the same major acids, the proportions of each differed, possibly reflecting the growth temperatures of the archaebacteria from which the acids are assumed to have originated. The structures of the 4, 5, 7 and 8 ring acids are tentatively assigned by comparison with the known 6 ring acid and related natural products and an HPLC method for the isolation of the individual acids is described. ESI-MS of individual acids isolated by preparative HPLC established the elution order of the 4-8 ring acids on the HPLC and HTGC systems and revealed the presence of previously unreported acids tentatively identified as C81 and C82 7 and 8 ring analogues.

Headspace solid-phase microextraction of phthalic acid esters from vegetable oil employing solvent based matrix modification

A new solvent-free analytical procedure based on headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography employing an electron capture detector (GC/ECD) or alternatively a mass spectrometric detector (GC/MSD) has been developed for the determination of phthalic acid esters (dimethyl-[DMP], diethyl-[DEP], di-n-butyl-[DnBP], butylbenzyl-[BBP], di-2-ethylhexyl-[DEHP] and di-n-octyl [DnOP] phthalate) in vegetable oils. Four different fiber coatings were evaluated, among them polydimethylsiloxane with a thickness of 100 μm appeared to be the best choice for allowing extraction of the whole group of analytes. Various solvents were tested as sample matrix modification agents with the aim to facilitate the transfer of esters with low vapour pressure (DEHP and DnOP) from oil matrix into the headspace. The addition of methanol resulted in optimal set-up applicable for all phthalate esters. Temperature control and the way of sample stirring were recognized as critical points of the whole procedure. Primarily, because shaking rather than stirring of the sample is carried out using a CombiPal multipurpose sampler, the automation of the SPME method employing this instrument was found to be not fully suitable for efficient stripping of phthalates from the oil matrix into the sample headspace. Nevertheless, the optimized manual SPME method, encompassing GC/ECD or GC/MSD for the separation and detection of target analytes, offers a unique solution and showed acceptable performance characteristics: linear response in the range of 0.5-2 mg kg⁻¹ and repeatability expressed as R.S.D. between 14 and 23% at the spiking level of 2 mg kg⁻¹.     

Fatty acids by high-performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light-scattering detector

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation method with an evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD) has been developed for the separation and quantitative analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in three different oils. Reverse-phased C18 HPLC separation of 13 FAME is achieved using a methanol/water eluent mixture. The retention times (RT) reflect the elution behavior of these compounds on C18 reversed-phase HPLC. The proposed method is tested on: soybean oil (Glycine max L.) as reference sample, rice bran oil (Oryza sativa L.), pumpkin seed oil (Cucurbita pepo L.) and algal oil (Arthrospira platensis Nordst.).     

Exploring the fatty acids of vernix caseosa in form of their methyl esters by off-line coupling of non-aqueous reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry

Vernix caseosa is a greasy biofilm formed on the skin of the human fetus in the last period of pregnancy. This matrix is known to contain a range of uncommon branched chain fatty acids. In this study, we studied the fatty acid composition of vernix caseosa by non-aqueous reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) fractionation followed by gas chromatography-electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS) of the fractions. For this purpose the fatty acids from vernix caseosa were converted into the corresponding methyl esters. These were fractionated by non-aqueous RP-HPLC using three serially connected C(18)-columns and pure methanol as the eluent. Aliquots of the HPLC fractions were directly analyzed by GC/EI-MS in the selected ion monitoring mode. Data analysis and visualization were performed by the creation of a two dimensional (2D) contour plot, in which GC retention times were plotted against the HPLC fractions. Inspection of the plot resulted in the detection of 133 different fatty acids but only 16 of them contributed more than 1% to the total fatty acids detected. Identification was based on HPLC and GC retention data, GC/MS-SIM and full scan data, as well as plotting the logarithmic retention times against the longest straight carbon chain. In selected cases, aliquots of the HPLC fractions were hydrogenated or studied by means of the picolinyl esters. Using these techniques, the number of double bonds could be unequivocally assigned to all fatty acids. Moreover, the number of methyl branches, and in many cases the positions of methyl branches could be determined. The enantioselective analysis of chiral anteiso-fatty acids resulted in the dominance of the S-enantiomers. However, high proportions of R-a13:0, R-a15:0, and R-a17:1 were also detected while a17:0 was virtually S-enantiopure.     

Composition of Egyptian nerolì oil

The bitter orange flower oil (or neroli) is an essential product, largely used in perfumery. Neroli is obtained by hydrodistillation or steam distillation, from the flowers of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium L.). Since a long time neroli production is limited and its cost on the market is considerably high. The annual production in Tunisia and Morocco is ca. 1500 Kg, representing more than 90% of the worldwide production. A small amount ofneroli is also produced in Egypt, Spain and Comorros (not exceeding 150 kg totally). Due to the high cost, the producers and the users have tried to obtain less expensive products, with odor characters close to that of neroli oil to be used as substitute and sometimes as adulterants of the genuine oil. In this study are investigated five samples of Egyptian neroli oils produced in 2008 and 2009, in the same industrial plant, declared genuine by the producer. For all the samples the composition was determined by GC/FID and by GC/MS-LRI; the samples were also analyzed by esGC to determine the enantiomeric distribution of twelve volatiles and by GC-C-IRMS for the determination of the delta13C(VPDB) values of some mono and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, alcohols and esters. The analytical procedures allowed to quantitatively determining 86 components. In particular the variation of the composition seems to be dependent on the period of production. In fact, the amount of linalool decreases from March to April while linalyl acetate presents an opposite trend, increasing in the same period. The RSD determined for the delta13C(VPDB) are very small (max. 3.89%), ensuring the authenticity of all samples. The results are also discussed in function of the limits provided by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) (2004), AFNOR (1995) and ISO (2002) regulations for genuine neroli oils.     

大气有机物热脱附-全二维气相色谱-火焰离子化分析方法

全二维气相色谱（GC×GC）是20世纪90年代发展起来的具有高分辨率、高灵敏度、高峰容量等优势的分离技术,在我国将其用于大气挥发性有机物（VOCs）研究方面才刚刚起步.本文将GC-GC与氢火焰离子化检测器（FID）联用,构建了用于测量大气有机物的热脱附-全二维气相色谱-氢火焰离子化分析系统（TD-GC×GC-FID）.采用HP-5MS和HP-INNOWAX色谱柱,建立了C5-C15大气有机物分析方法,实现了一次分析过程同时分离非甲烷烃（NMHCs）、含氧挥发性有机物（OVOCs）和卤代烃等多种组分.利用标准物质和四级杆质谱（qMS）进行定性,外标法结合FID质量校正因子定量.目标物在GC-GC谱图中第一和第二维保留时间变化分别小于0.6s和0.02s,峰体积平均相对标准偏差为14.3%,其中烷烃和芳香烃为4.5%.标准曲线r2均值大于0.99,平均检出限为6.04ng,平均回收率为111%.利用该方法检测到2010年1月北京市区大气中400多种有机物（信噪比大于50）,鉴定了其中的103种物质,包括烷烃、烯烃、芳香烃、卤代烃、醛、酮、酯、醇和醚等.所测定有机物平均总浓度为51.3×10-9V/V,其中OVOCs约占51%,芳香烃约占30%,烷烃约占15%,卤代烃和烯烃分别占3%和1%.平均浓度最高的前3个组分是乙醇（9.84×10-9V/V）、丙酮（6.72×10-9V/V）和甲苯（3.48×10-9V/V）.     

Liquid chromatographic analysis of sebum lipids and other lipids of medical interest

A technique is described for the high-pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of sebum lipid classes. The lipid present in sebum are separated by gradient elution HPLC from a microparticulate silica column and detected using a moving-wire detector. The system described can be linked to a computer. Quantitation can be carried out by comparing peak areas obtained with those of an internal standard. Peak trapping for further investigations of the separated components, for example by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, is very easy. Sebum lipids are separated into the following lipid classes: hydrocarbons and squalene, cholesterol esters and wax esters, fatty acids as their methyl esters, triglycerides, 1,3-diglycerides, 1,2-diglycerides, free cholesterol, monoglycerides and other polar materials. Besides to sebum, the method has been successfully applied to other lipid mixtures, such as serum lipids. Examples of other applications are shown.
