5、3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod, see Practice E355.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is injected onto a gas chromatographiccolumn. The components are separated as they pass throughthe column with helium carrier gas, their presence in theeffluent is detected by a

6、 flame ionization detector, and recordedas a chromatogram. The concentrations of sample componentsare calculated as weight percentages using area normalization.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides for the determination of assayand impurities in acetic anhydride. Acetic anhydride is u

7、sed asan intermediate in many chemical processes. Its relativeconcentration affects the efficiency of these processes. This testmethod provides a test procedure for assay and impurityspecification acceptance as well as manufacturing control.6. Interferences6.1 This test method describes the chromato

8、graphic separa-tion of possible impurities in acetic anhydride. Other impuritiescould coelute with the known components and cause aninterference. Therefore, an efficient gas chromatographic col-umn in good condition should be used in order to ensure thenecessary chromatographic separations and prope

United StatesNOTICE: This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International (www.astm.org) for the latest information1provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently

17、high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.8.2 High-Purity Acetic Anhydride (99.8 % or GreaterPurity)It is important that the acetic anhydride used toprepare calibration standards be as pure as possible. If theacetic anhydride specified by this test method is no

18、t suitable forstandard preparation, it should be redistilled prior to use oranother source found. Note that American Chemical Societyreagent grade acetic anhydride may not be sufficiently pure forthis procedure. Its titration assay will include other anhydridespresent as well as acetic anhydride.8.3

19、 Carrier GasChromatographic-grade helium.8.4 Detector Gas, airBreathing quality grade.8.5 Detector Gas, hydrogen99.95 % grade.8.6 Pure compounds for calibration could include aceticacid, ethylidene diacetate, mesityl oxide, and acetonitrile. Thepurity of all reagents should be 99 % or greater. If th

20、e purity isless than 99 %, the concentration and identification of impuri-ties must be known so that the composition of the standard canbe adjusted for the presence of the impurities.8.7 Propionic anhydride and propionic acid are not includedin the calibration of this test method. The propionic anhy

21、drideor propionic acid would react over time to form the mixedanhydride, acetic-propionic anhydride.9. Hazards9.1 Consult current Occupational Safety and Health Admin-istration (OSHA) regulations and suppliers Material SafetyData Sheets for all materials used in this test method.9.2 Acetic anhydride

22、 is a corrosive, both as a liquid and avapor. It is severely damaging to the eyes and skin. It can causedelayed burns if not removed immediately.9.3 Acetic anhydride is combustible. Its vapor is flammablein the range from 2.7 to 10.3 volume % in air. Possible ignitionsources shall be avoided.9.4 War

23、ningAcetic anhydride reacts violently with wa-ter. Handle and dispose of all samples so as to minimize anycontact with water.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Follow the manufacturers instructions for mountingand conditioning the column into the chromatograph andadjusting the instrument to the condit

24、ions described in Table 1.Allow sufficient time for the equipment to reach equilibrium.11. Calibration11.1 Prior to standard preparation, the acetic anhydride usedto prepare the calibration standard must be analyzed todetermine purity. It is difficult to obtain acetic anhydride that isfree of detect

25、able levels of acetic acid; however, withpurification, the amount of acetic acid in the anhydride can beminimized. To perform this blank run, inject 1.0 L of theacetic anhydride onto the chromatographic column. Analyzethe blank in accordance with the conditions specified in Table1. If any impurity i

26、s present at a concentration of greater than0.05 % by area, it is advisable to purify the acetic anhydrideprior to use.11.1.1 The most likely impurity to remain in aceticanhydride, even after purification, is acetic acid. Retain theresults of this blank run for later use in the determination ofrespo

Other components may

28、be calibrated as needed. Approximate amounts are given inTable 3.11.2.1 During standard preparation, the exact amounts of allcomponents shall be recorded.11.3 After analyzing the acetic anhydride blank, analyze thecalibration standard described in 11.2. Inject 1.0 L of thestandard onto the chromatog
