Abstract:

Based on the production needs of salt lake operations,a method for determining octadecylamine(ODA) content in brine was optimized.Building upon the alkaline potassium persulfate digestion-UV spectrophotometry method,a UV/H2O2 coupled pretreatment was introduced to successfully pre-digest ODA,facilitating subsequent complete oxidation by alkaline potassium persulfate and thereby improving the accuracy and stability of detection.The optimized parameters included that 5 mL of alkaline potassium persulfate,digestion time of 10~20 minutes,temperature maintained between 123~126 ℃,pH controlled within 5~7,MgCl2 concentration below 2 g/L,with no additional masking agents required.The method was applicable to brine samples with ODA concentrations below 10 mg/L,demonstrating a precision of 2.9%~4.2%,an accuracy ranging from-1.5%~1.4%,and spike recovery rates between 98.18%~101.98%.This research effectively overcame the challenges posed by the chemical stability of ODA and the high-salinity matrix of brine,providing a reliable analytical approach for accurate detection and monitoring of ODA levels in salt lake production.It supported enhanced production management,process optimization,and product quality improvement.
