ACTA CHROMATOGRAPHICA, NO. 13, 2003 GC METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF BENZENE IN GASOLINE A. Pavlova and R. Ivanova Refining and Petrochemistry Institute, Analytical Department, Lukoil-Neftochim-Bourgas JSC, 8104 Bourgas, Bulgaria SUMMARY GC–FID methods using two different capillary columns have been developed for the determination of benzene in gasoline samples and petroleum fractions. The methods were compared and evaluated. GC–FID with a PONA column is not appropriate for routine analysis. GC–FID with a TCEP column enables precise and accurate measurement of the benzene content of gasoline and petroleum fractions and can be widely used for analysis of petroleum products – there is no limitation of sample composition. Results obtained from analysis of commercial samples of gasoline and petroleum fractions agree with those obtained by use of the IR spectroscopy reference method. INTRODUCTION Gasoline samples and petroleum fractions are very complex mixtu- res containing many hundreds of different components, of which benzene is by far the most harmful. Reduction of benzene levels in gasoline with a view toward significantly reducing damage to vehicular pollution control devices is an ongoing goal of the environmental community. European Community laws specify a maximum tolerated level of 1% (v/v) for this compound in gasoline [1]. Analytical techniques for benzene have advanced significantly in recent years, and development continues. Modern technologies include gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and fluorescence spectroscopy, and combined techniques, such as GC–MS and GC–Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), etc. [2–11]. Among these techniques capillary GC with flame ionization detection (FID) and capillary GC–MS are most
