Normal Olefins and Normal Paraffins by GC UOP Method 688-09 Scope This method is for determining total normal olefins (TNO), individual carbon number normal olefins, total normal paraffins (TNP), and individual normal paraffins in the UOP Pacol, UOP Define, and UOP Olexprocess feed and

5、 product streams. Samples can be in the C9to C18carbon number range, consisting of light ends (cracked by-products), normal paraffins, normal olefins, and associated non-normals compounds. Normal olefins include diolefins, if present. Small amounts of non-normals elute with the normal paraffins and

6、normal olefins resulting in an approximate value for the total non-normals (TNN). A more accurate TNN value can be determined separately by UOP Method 411 (see Note 1). The lower limit of quantitation for any compound is 0.01 mass-%. The lower limit of quantitation for any carbon number group is app

7、roximately 0.05 mass-%. References ASTM Method D 4307, “Preparation of Liquid Blends for Use as Analytical Standards,” www.astm.org Scanlon, J. T. and Willis, D.

Establish

25、 the recommended operating conditions as given in Table 1. Different conditions may be used provided they produce the required sensitivity and chromatographic separations equivalent to those shown in the Typical Chromatograms (Figures 1, 2, and 3). 4. Program the column oven to 275C. Maintain this t

26、emperature until a stable baseline has been obtained at the required sensitivity. 5. Cool the column oven to a stabilized 100C. 6. If using an autosampler, multiple samples may be transferred into autosampler vials and preloaded into the tray. 7. Inject 0.5 L of the sample to be analyzed into the ga

27、s chromatograph and start the integrator and column temperature programming sequence. When using an autosampler or injector, the injection sequence of a GC is typically automated, performing the injection and starting the data system and column temperature program simultaneously. 8. Identify the com

28、ponents by comparing the resultant chromatogram with the Typical Chromatograms (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). Any individual peak or peaks can be identified and reported separately. To avoid understating the amount of TNN, a common baseline with perpendicular drops to baseline are typically required. On

29、e should avoid using valley to valley baseline for unresolved peaks. Calibration Since all the sample components have essentially the same detector response on the mass basis, no relative response factor calibration is required (area-% is equivalent to mass-%). The mass-% composition of the sample i

30、s obtained by the internal normalization technique of quantitation wherein the peak areas are normalized to 100%. A quantitative blend prepared as described in ASTM Method D4307 composing of equal portions of the expected n-paraffins within the carbon number range of the sample is analyzed to check

31、for instrument linearity. The quantitative n-paraffin blend is run when the method is initially set up and thereafter when changes have been made to the equipment or periodically to verify instrument linearity. Calculations Calculate the uncorrected composition of any sample to the nearest 0.01 mass

32、 using Equation 1: BA100D = (1) where: A = peak area of the individual component or group of components B = sum of all the peak areas D = uncorrected concentration of a specific component or group of components, mass-% 100 = factor to convert to mass% 5 of 10 688-09 Calculate the corrected mass-%

35、 K = non-normals determined for a specific carbon number region (Equation 1), mass-% Sum the n-paraffins, n-olefins and non-normals previously calculated for each carbon number to obtain totals. If Method U411 is used to obtain the mass-% TNN, see Note 2. Notes 1. UOP Method 411 is the more accurat

36、e procedure for determining TNN. If the equipment for performing UOP Method 411 is not available, determining the amount of correction for the non-normals eluting in the specific olefin regions can be obtained from the analysis of the olefin free UOP Pacol Process Feed. 2. Using the mass-% TNN, obta

37、ined by UOP Method 411, requires renormalization of TNO (after correction) and TNP to equal 100 minus the mass-% TNN from UOP Method 411. The data report should stipulate TNN obtained by UOP Method 411. Precision Precision statements were determined using UOP Method 999 from precision data obtained

38、using an autosampler. Repeatability and Intermediate Precision A nested design was carried out for determining components in one olefinic hydrocarbon sample at two levels with two analysts in one laboratory. Each analyst carried out tests on two separate days, performing two tests each day. The tota

39、l number of tests for each component was eight. The precision data are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. Two tests performed by the same analyst on the same day should not differ by more than the repeatable allowable difference with 95% confidence. Two tests performed in one laboratory by different anal

40、ysts on different days should not differ by more than the site precision allowable difference with 95% confidence. The data in Tables 2 and 3 are a short-term estimate of repeatability. When the test is run routinely, a control standard and chart should be used to develop a better estimate of the lo
