GB/T 22808-2021Leather and fur - Chemical tests - Determination of chlorinated phenols content (English PDF)

1 Scope

This Standard specifies a method for determining the content of chlorinated phenols (including tetrachlorophenol, trichlorophenol, dichlorophenol, monochlorophenol and their isomers, and pentachlorophenol), and their salts and esters in leather and fur.

This Standard applies to the determination of chlorinated phenols in various types of leather and fur, as well as the determination of brominated phenols and their isomers.

7 Sampling and preparation of specimens

7.1 Sampling The sampling of leather shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 39364.

The sampling of fur shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of

QB/T 1267.

of the oscillation. The use of a mechanical oscillator with a high oscillation frequency (>=200 r/min) is conducive to the progress of the reaction. Reaction by hand shaking can easily lead to wrong results. The separating funnel is deflated (pressure compensation) before it is oscillated with an oscillator.

Use a filter (6.9) with filter paper to filter all the organic layer into a 50 mL volumetric flask (6.5); use n-hexane (5.5) to wash the filter residue. The washing solution is incorporated into a 50 mL volumetric flask; use n-hexane (5.5) to make up to volume (50 mL). Use gas chromatograph (6.1) to analyze the solution.

8.3 Preparation of mixed standard solution of acetylated CP and TCG

8.3.1 Derivatization of CP and TCG standard solutions for recovery test Pipette 100 uL of CP standard solution (5.2) and 100 uL of TCG standard solution (5.3); place them in a steam distillation apparatus; add 20 mL of sulfuric acid solution (5.4). Treat the CP/TCG standard mixed solution in the same way as the specimen.

The recovery rate shall be higher than 90%.

8.3.2 Derivatization of mixed standard solution of chlorinated phenols (external standard solution)

Pipette 20 uL of CP standard solution (5.2) and 20 uL of TCG standard solution (5.3); add them to 30 mL of K2CO3 solution with a concentration of 0.1 mol/L.

Put it in the separating funnel; perform extraction and acetylation according to the operation in 8.2. Finally, transfer the organic layer to a 50 mL volumetric flask (6.5); use n-hexane (5.5) to dilute to the mark.

In GC analysis, the mass concentration of each chlorinated phenol is 0.04 ug/mL.

The standard solution is included in the calculation formula.

Note: This concentration is suitable for specimens with a CP concentration of 5 mg/kg or higher. For specimens with lower CP content, the concentration of the external standard solution can be reduced proportionally.
