Sensitive Detection and Quantification of Oxygenated Compounds in Complex Samples Using GC-Combustion-MS

Résumé

This work introduces a new element-selective gas chromatography detector for the accurate quantification of traces of volatile oxygen-containing compounds in complex samples without the need for specific standards. The key to this approach is the use of oxygen highly enriched in 18O as the oxidizing gas in a combustion unit (800 °C) that allows us to directly and unambiguously detect the natural oxygen present in the GC-separated compounds through its incorporation into the volatile species formed after their combustion and their subsequent degradation to 16O in the ion source. The unspecific signal due to the low 16O abundance in the oxidizing gas could be compensated by measuring the m/z 12 that comes as well from the CO2 degradation. Equimolarity was proved with several O-containing compounds with different sizes and functionalities. A detection limit of 28 pg of injected O was achieved, which is the lowest ever reported for any GC detector, which barely worsened to 55 and 214 pg of O when the oxygenate partially or completely coeluted with a very abundant matrix compound. Validation was attained by the analysis of a SRM to obtain accurate (99−103%) and precise (1−4% RSD) results. Robustness was tested after spiking a hydrotreated diesel with 10 O-compounds at the ppm level, which could be discriminated from the matrix crowd and quantified (mean recovery of 102 ± 9%) with a single generic standard. Finally, it was also successfully applied to easily spot and quantify the 33 oxygenates naturally present in a complex wood bio-oil sample.
