China successfully developed ultra-trace brominated flame retardant analysis technology

China's advancements in plasticization science and technology continue to grow, with notable progress being made in the field of brominated flame retardant analysis. Recently, the Shandong Provincial Science School successfully completed its scientific and technological progress planning project titled "Technique for the Analysis of Green Color of Ultra-trace Brominated Flame Retardants in the Background." This initiative has attracted attention from senior experts who are well-informed about the latest international standards in the field.

The project focuses on developing new analytical techniques for brominated flame retardants such as tetrabromobisphenol A, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and hexabromocyclododecane. Advanced methods like solid-phase micro-extraction, solid-phase extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, and dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction have been applied systematically. Researchers also established innovative approaches using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), significantly improving detection accuracy and reproducibility.

This newly developed method offers several advantages: it is cost-effective, highly sensitive, simple to operate, fast, practical, and highly innovative. It provides a reliable foundation for rapid monitoring and detection of brominated flame retardants, which is crucial for environmental protection and regulatory enforcement. The project not only enhances scientific confidence but also contributes valuable insights to national policies and environmental management strategies. As science and technology continue to evolve, we can look forward to more groundbreaking developments that will shape a cleaner and safer future.
