RSKSOP-175 Headspace gas chromatography for dissolved gas measurement
phases of headspace vial used in gas chromatography
calculations
using known temperature of sample, bottle volume, concentrations of gas in headspace (as determined gc), , henry s law constant, concentration of original water sample calculated. total gas concentration (tc) in original water sample calculated determining concentration of headspace , converting partial pressure , solving aqueous concentration partitioned in gas phase (cah) , concentration remaining in aqueous phase (ca). total concentration of gas in original sample (tc) sum of concentration partitioned in gas phase (cah) , concentration remaining in aqueous phase (ca).
tc = cah + ca
henry s law states mole fraction of dissolved gas (xg) equal partial pressure of gas (pg) @ equilibrium divided henry s law constant (h). gas solubility coefficients used calculate henry s law constant.
xg=pg/h
after manipulating equations , substituting volumes of each phase, molar concentration of water (55.5 mol/l) , molecular weight of gas analyte (mw), final equation solved for.
tc=[(55.5 mol/l)* pg/h*〖10〗^3 mg/g]+ ([vh/((vb-vh) )]*cg*mw(g/mol)/22.4(l/mol) *[273k/((t+273k)]* 〖10〗^3 mg/g)
where vb bottle volume , vh volume of headspace. cg volumetric concentration of gas. full calculation examples reference rsk-175sop.
practical considerations
one of major concerns method reproducibility. due nature of calculations, method reliant on temperatures constant , volumes exact. when gases spiked manually gc, speed , technique in analyst plays role in reproducibility. if 1 analyst faster in removing gas vial , injecting onto instrument, important have same analyst run on calibration prepped, otherwise error more introduced. headspace auto-sampler may remove of error, constant heat , variable temperature on instrument becomes issue.
