摘要
A gas chromatographic strategy to advance the direct detection and quantification of volatile aliphatic aldehydes such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in gas phase matrices without the need for sample pretreatment or concentration has been successfully developed. The catalytic hydrogenolysis of aldehydes to alkanes is conducted in situ within the 3D-printed steel jet assembly of the flame ionization detector and without any additional hardware required. Reliable conversion efficiencies of greater than 90% with respectable peak symmetries for the analytes were attained at 400 degrees C. Quantification of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde at parts-per-million levels over a range of 0.5-300 ppm (v/v) for formaldehyde and 0.2-430 ppm (v/v) for acetaldehyde with a respectable precision of less than 5% RSD (n = 10) was achieved. The total analysis time was less than 10 min. Linearity with a correlation coefficient (R-2) greater than 0.9997 and measured recoveries of >99% for spike tests under the specified conditions were achieved. The 3D-printed steel jet assembly was found to be reliable and resilient to matrices such as air, water, hydrocarbons, and aromatics. An additional benefit realized with this analytical strategy is that the slight restriction induced by the presence of the catalyst in the 3D-printed jet assembly enables backflush via the inlet split vent without the need for additional pressure control or intercolumn-connection devices. The utility of this technique was demonstrated with important aldehyde applications from various segments.
