Identification of 2,3-Butanedione (Diacetyl) As the Compound Causing Tastes and Odors in Treated Water At Trace Levels
确定2,3-丁二酮(双乙酰)是在痕量水平上引起处理水中味道和气味的化合物
A study of organic compounds imparting sweet and buttery odor problems in the
Llobregat River (northeast Spain) and in treated water was conducted. Solid-phase
microextraction (SPME), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GCO) and flavor profile
analysis (FPA) were used as analytical methodologies to identify the compound
responsible for odor incidents. Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) with a concentration range of
0.90-26 µg/L in river water samples entering the water treatment plant (WTP) was
identified as the compound causing the odor events. Flavor profile analysis establishes
0.05 µg/L as its odor threshold concentration (OTC) in water, with an odor recognition
concentration of 0.20 µg/L. Includes 19 references, tables, figures.
