MTBE, methyl tert-butyl ether (Methyltert-butylether), is a compound widely used as a gasoline additive. Its main function is to increase the octane number of gasoline and improve the combustion performance of gasoline. With the large-scale production and use of MTBE, people gradually realize its potential harm to the environment and human health. MTBE is highly volatile and water-soluble. Once it enters the groundwater or water body, it will pollute the water quality and endanger the environmental ecosystem and the drinking water safety of residents. Therefore, accurate and rapid detection and monitoring of MTBE is essential.

At present, the detection methods and analysis techniques for MTBE are quite mature. Among them, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectral analysis techniques are commonly used. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is a highly sensitive and selective analytical method based on chemical separation and mass spectrometry detection, which can accurately determine the content of MTBE in water samples, and can quickly analyze the samples. High performance liquid chromatography technology is the use of the interaction between the stationary phase and the mobile phase for the separation and detection of substances, with high separation efficiency, simple operation and so on. Spectral analysis techniques such as ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy are also widely used in the detection of MTBE, which have the characteristics of simple operation and fast detection speed.

In addition to traditional analysis techniques, some new detection methods have gradually attracted attention in recent years. For example, biosensor-based MTBE detection technology. Biosensors use the specific recognition and response of biological materials to target substances, and combine biology with sensor technology to achieve high sensitivity and high selectivity for the detection of organic pollutants such as MTBE. Compared with the traditional physical and chemical methods, biosensor has the advantages of fast response, simple operation and low cost, which is expected to become the development trend of MTBE detection in the future.

In the field of MTBE detection and monitoring, there is also some international cooperation and exchange. National environmental protection departments, scientific research institutions and international organizations cooperate with each other to jointly develop MTBE testing standards and monitoring methods to promote water quality safety and environmental protection on a global scale. Through international cooperation and exchanges, we can make full use of the advantages and experience of various countries in MTBE monitoring technology, promote the continuous innovation and improvement of MTBE detection technology, and provide more effective technical support for solving the problem of MTBE pollution.

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, the detection methods and analysis techniques of MTBE are constantly improving and innovating. By continuously improving the sensitivity, accuracy and practicability of the detection method, we can better monitor and control the concentration of MTBE in the environment, protect the safety of water quality, maintain the ecological balance, and provide a more reliable guarantee for human health and quality of life.
