Abstract

A new technique has been developed for on line analysis of trace hydrocarbon in natural gas using solid phase microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC-IRMS).In this study,the SPME has been introduced to achieve the enrichment of low abundance of trace hydrocarbons,which are then introduced to GC-IRMS for hydrogen isotopic analysis.The influence of method parameters,including equilibration time,extraction temperature,and the type of fiber were systematically optimized.The SPME-GC-IRMS method,fitted with polydimethylsiloxane/divinyl benzene/carbon molecular sieve (PDMS/DVB/CAR) fiber,showed good reproducibility,and the hydrogen isotopic fractionation was not observed during the extraction process.The applicability of the SPME-GCIRMS method in the low range was evaluated in a case study on natural gas sample from Jiyang Depression,Turpan-Hami Basin and Ordos Basin.The hydrogen isotope composition can be detected from C1 to C9,and for which the standard deviation (SD) was lower than 4‰ for triplicate measurements.
