Soil petroleum hydrocarbons (C6-C40) analysis solution

Petroleum hydrocarbons (carbon number range specified by the method) in surface or deep soil samples are analyzed using a gas chromatography route. Samples enter the chromatographic flow path through a liquid autosampler; the chromatographic column completes the separation of target components from matrix interferences, and then the FID records the response. Quantitation and quality control use the following arrangements: identification is performed based on the retention behavior of target components and reference materials; calibration is performed using reference materials corresponding to petroleum hydrocarbons (carbon number range specified by the method) by external standard or internal standard according to the applicable method; injection blanks, calibration checks, and parallel determinations are used to monitor contamination and response stability. Each analytical batch also includes blanks, calibration checks, and applicable quality control samples.

02 Standards and Method Basis

Method basis: application method. The laboratory may enter the name and version of the adopted formal method into the project file.

03 Samples and Analytes

The specific samples areSurface or deep soil samples, and the analytes arePetroleum hydrocarbons (carbon number range specified by the method). Pretreatment, injection, and detection configurations are determined according to the sample state, target concentration, and the formal method adopted.

04 Method Principle

Volatile or vaporizable components in the sample are introduced into the gas chromatography system by a liquid autosampler. Each component is carried by the carrier gas through the chromatographic column and forms different retention due to differences in volatility and stationary phase interaction.

The FID is used to record the analytical response of petroleum hydrocarbons (within the carbon number range specified by the method); quantification uses identification based on the retention behavior of the target components and reference materials, using reference materials corresponding to petroleum hydrocarbons (within the carbon number range specified by the method) for external standard or internal standard calibration according to the applicable method; injection blanks, calibration checks, and parallel determinations are used to monitor contamination and response stability.

05 Sample Collection and Pretreatment

Surface or deep soil samples are subjected to solvent extraction. The processing steps are organized around the stable transfer of petroleum hydrocarbons (within the carbon number range specified by the method) and control of matrix interference.

06 Separation and Detection

The separation flow path is designed around petroleum hydrocarbons (within the carbon number range specified by the method), with the sample introduction interface, chromatographic column, and FID forming a continuous method chain. Method development and validation use real samples to check co-elution, blanks, and response stability.
