Determination of perchlorate at trace levels in drinking water by ion-pair extraction with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
Abstract
Perchlorate has been added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). The present work describes the analysis of perchlorate in water by liquid-liquid extraction followed by flow injection electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). Cationic surfactants, mostly alkyltrimethyl-ammonium salts, are used to ion-pair aqueous perchlorate, forming extractable ion pairs. The cationic surfactant associates with the perchlorate ion to form a complex detectable by ESI/MS. The selectivity of the extraction and the mass spectrometric detection increases confidence in the identification of perchlorate. The method detection limit for perchlorate based on 3.14 sigma n-1 of seven replicate injections was 100 ng L-1 (parts per trillion). Standard addition was used to quantitate perchlorate in a drinking water sample from a contaminated source, and the concentration determined agreed within experimental error with the concentration determined by ion chromatography.
