Introduction

Directive 96/82/EC, as amended, requires transit/sorting/regrouping or waste treatment facilities to

assess the hazardous nature of their waste, in particular, from the point of view of the following categories

of hazards:

— very toxic or toxic to humans if swallowed, for example contact with the skin or by inhalation,

— very toxic or toxic to the aquatic environment.

Based on knowledge of the composition of elements and substances of a waste, its hazard potential can

then be determined from the classification rules established for mixtures in waste legislation.

4 Principle

This method describes a gas chromatography (GC) method using a flame ionization detection (FID) after

an equilibrium-based static headspace preparation.

A specified quantity of extractant solution is added to a test portion of raw sample before any

pretreatment in a hermetically sealed vial with sufficient space for desorption of analytes into the gas

phase. The vial is heated in a thermostat at 80 °C until desorption equilibrium is reached.

A defined portion of the gas phase is injected into the gas chromatograph using two analytical columns

with different stationary phases, and the analytes are detected by a flame ionization detector. The amount

of each analyte is calculated using a calibration function established with external standards. An internal

standard is added in the extractant solution, for the retention time verification.

The list of analytes is given in Table 1.

NOTE The method can be applied to other low boiling point analytes not specified in the scope provided

suitability is proven by proper in-house validation.
5 Interferences
5.1 Interferences with sampling and extraction

Use sampling glass containers. During storage of the samples, losses of alcohols may occur due to

volatilization. Sampling directly in head-space vials minimizes handling of samples and analytes loss.

Samples can be contaminated by diffusion of volatile organic compounds through the septum seal of the

sample vial during shipment and storage. A transport blank, prepared from extractant solution and

sample container and carried through sampling and handling protocols, serves as a check on such

contamination.
5.2 Interferences with GC

Substances that co-elute with analytes may interfere with the determination. These interferences may

lead to insufficient signal resolution and may, depending on their magnitude, affect accuracy and

precision of the analytical results. Two analytical columns with different stationay phases (6.1.5) are used

to confirm the identification of the selected alcohols.
6 Apparatus and reagents
6.1 Apparatus
Usual laboratory glassware.

All glassware and material that come into contact with the sample or extract shall be thoroughly cleaned.

6.1.1 Analytical balance, with a weighing accuracy of 0,1 mg.
6.1.2 Gas chromatograph, with head-space autosampler.
6.1.3 Flame ionization detector.

6.1.4 Glass head-space vials, 10 to 20 ml, according to the type of headspace equipment, with

hermetic crimp or screw cap and septum (silicone /polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)).

6.1.5 Chromatographic columns, e.g. DB-Wax 60 m × 0,25 mm × 0,25 µm, CP-SIL8-CB (see Annex A).
