非等间隔PCBs保留指数体系在光解行为研究中的应用

利用Ｃｈｕ等已建立的多氯联苯（ＰＣＢｓ）非等间隔保留指数体系，由文献中的相对保留时间计算出全部２０９种ＰＣＢｓ同类物（Ｃｏｎｇｅｎｅｒ）的保留指数（ＩＰＣＢ）。利用ＩＰＣＢ结合ＧＣ－ＭＳ对ＰＣＢ８７、ＰＣＢ１３８和ＰＣＢ１６９三种同类物的光解产物进行了定性分析，发现其光解产物主要为低氯代联苯。实验结果证明，非等间隔保留指数体系ＩＰＣＢ在ＰＣＢｓ同类物的定性分析中具有准确、实用、快捷、方便等优点。

Identification of Photoproducts for PCB Congeners by the New Retention Index System

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a kind of priority pollutants, constituting a complex group of 209 congeners ranging from monochloro to decachlorobiphenyls. Because of the shortcomings of retention time data and the lack of suitable retention index systems, the congeners analysis of PCBs is one of the most challenging tasks in capillary column gas chromatography (GC), especially due to the fact that the isomers of PCBs can not be identified by GC-MS. A new retention index system, suitable for analysis of PCB congeners in the environmental samples by temperature-programmed capillary gas chromatography with ECD, has been developed recently by Chu et al. In this paper, retention indexes of all 209 PCB congeners were calculated according to the new retention index system from their respective retention times reported by other authors. The photoproducts of PCB87, PCB138 and PCB169 were identified with the new retention index system and confirmed by GC-MS. The deviations of retention indexes for all photoproducts were within 3 index units. It was testified that the above retention index system was reliable during the identification of PCB congeners and would have wide applicability. Based on the formations of coplanar PCB congeners (PCB77 and PCB126) during the photodegradations of PCB138 and PCB169, it was proposed that toxic equivalence (TEQ) should be used as a kind of quality indicator for the studies of the photolysis of PCBs.
