A new method was developed for the simultaneous determination of organic fluorine，organic chlorine，organic bromine and organic iodine compounds in textiles by ion chromatography with high temperature combustion and water vapor absorption．The samples were firstly oscillated to remove the inorganic halides in textiles，then burned，cracked and gasified with a new type of high temperature combustion absorption device in temperature programmed heating mode．The produced free halogen and hydrogen halide gases were absorbed with water vapor，and completely transformed into inorganic halogen anions．After condensation and collection，they were separated and determined by ion chromatography and quantified by external standard method．In the experiment，the pre-treatment conditions were optimized，including the sample weight，the combustion method，the combustion gas and its flow rate，the water evaporation and the condensate collection method．In addition，the analytical conditions for ion chromatography such as column，column temperature and the flow rate of eluent were also optimized．The results showed that the method was linear in the concentration range of 0.02－10 mg/L for the standard solutions of fluorine，chlorine，bromine and iodine ions，and the correlation coefficients（,r,2,） were greater than 0.999．The limits of quantitation were both 1.0 mg/kg for organic fluorine and organic chlorine，2.5 mg/kg for organic bromine and 5.0 mg/kg for organic iodine．The negative textile samples of cotton and polyester were used as the sample matrixes，and typical organic halides were selected for the standard addition and recovery．The average recoveries for organic halides in cotton and polyester at spiked levels of 5，50，200 mg/kg were in the ranges of 86.6%－100% and 85.4%－99.6%，with their relative standard deviations（RSD，,n ,= 7） of 2.3%－5.6% and 1.9%－5.7%，respectively，indicating that the method had good recovery and precision．This method was used in the determination of different contents of organic fluorine，organic chlorine and organic bromine in actual textile samples with good repeatability．The established method overcomes the problems of incomplete combustion and absorption，and low recovery existing in conventional combustion methods．With the advantages of high accuracy，sensitivity and good repeatability，the method is suitable for the determination of organic halides in textiles，and provides a reference for the establishment of standard and the quality and safety control of textiles in China．
