Abstract:

A method was developed for simultaneous determination of tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin(TPhT) in white spirit by using gas chromatography-flame photometry detection (GC-FPD). The sample was extracted by hexane, and derivatived by NaBEt4. The various factors influencing analysis results were investigated. The results present the good linearities between analytical signal and analyte concentration in the range of 0.1-10.0 mg/L with the correlation coefficients of 0.9990, 0.9995. For TBT and TPhT, limits of detection are 0.0375, 0.0489 mg/L, respectively. The average recoveries of TBT and TPhT at the spike levels of 0.5, 5.0 mg/L and 10.0 mg/L are in the range of 89.8%-100.9%, with the relative standard derivation of 4.15%-9.04%. A satisfactory result was obtained in the determination of organotin compounds in white spirit.
