Abstract:
5.00 mL of the wastewater sample were taken and extracted ultrasonically for 21 min by bi-aqueous phase extraction with extractant system composed of 200 μL of
n-propanol and 2.75 g of (NH
4)
2SO
4. After centrifuging for 5 min, 50 μL of the upper organic phase was taken and evaporated to dryness by N
2-blowing. The residue was dissolved with 100 μL of CH
3CN-H
2O (7+3) mixture, and the solution was then separated by HPLC using Zorbax Eclipse XDB-CN column as stationary phase and a mixture of 0.1% (
φ) formic acid solution and acetonitrile (3+7) was used as mobile phase for elution. MS/MS with ESI, MRM was adopted for determination of the 7 disperse dyes. As shown by the results, linear relationships between values of peak area and mass concentration of the 7 disperse dyes were found in definite ranges, with detection limits (3S/N) in the range of 3.3-57 ng·L
-1. Test for recovery by standard addition method was made using wastewater from printing and dyeing process as matrix, giving results in the range of 80.0%-116%, and RSDs (
n=5) ranged from 1.2% to 10%.
