In this work, a reliable and sensitive method for detecting polybrominated diphenyl ethers （PBDEs） has been developed by the combination of liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. PBDEs were extracted from a large volume of water by liquid-liquid extraction and purified by silica gel chromatography. In order to reduce the deviation, dibromobiphenyl was exploited as the internal standard to minimize differences among the injections. The quantification was performed using an external standard. Good linear correlation coefficients （〉0.991） and a wide linearity range （ 1,0- 500.0 ng/L） indicated the steadiness of the proposed method. Moreover, the satisfactory recovery （〉75%） suggested that successful determination of PBDEs in river water had been achieved. Furthermore, the deduction behavior of PBDEs in river water could be inferred according to the results.

Keto-enol tautomers of curcumin were confirmed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography（RPLC）/ hybrid quadrupole ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry（QIT/TOFMS）.Tautomers gave different MS/MS spectra in negative mode.Different mass spectra were also obtained by hydrogen/deuterium exchange LC/MS/MS in positive mode.Our results suggest that enol form is the major form in the solution（water/acetonitrile）.

hloramphenicol is an antibiotic and one of the potential contaminants in honey.Solid-phase extraction is the key pretreatment procedure for analysis of chloramphenicol in honey.In this work,an on-line pretreatment liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer system for sensitive,reliable and higher throughput analysis was developed.With the methylcellulose-immobilized reversed-phase column,sugars in a honey sample were efficiently removed in 1 min.As a result,the limit of quantitation of chloramphenicol was 20 pg/mL（0.2 μg/kg honey）.

A wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence （WD-XRF） spectrometry combined with calibration curve method was estab- lished for simultaneously analyzing low-Z elements （C, N, O） and A1, Si, Fe in polyamide. To investigate the origin of plastic material causing deposition and blocking in instrument engines and pipelines, polyamide 6 （PA 6, an engineering plastic） was chosen as the study object on account of its common use in industry. The sample preparation with pressed powder disk has been developed for determination of six elements in PA 6. Pure Cu metal was used as the matrix and PA 6 was regarded as standard sample for C, N, O elements. PA 6 particles were firstly smashed to uniform powder in liquid nitrogen, and then mixed with inorganic standard powders （Fe203, A1203, SIO2, and Na2SiO3）. The mixture was ground to obtain homogeneous calibration materials for WD-XRF analysis. The quantitative property of the calibration curve method for each element was re- liable. The limits of detection （S/N≤3） of C, N, O, A1, Si and Fe using WD-XRF were 249, 120, 101, 6.2, 3.3, and 1.8 μg/g, respectively. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed WD-XRF calibration curve method, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy （ICP-OES） detection for A1, Si, Fe and elemental analyzer （EA） analysis for C, N, O were utilized. A good correlation of the WD-XRF results with the measurements of ICP-OES and EA was observed.
