The aromatics fraction maycontain aromatics, condensed naphthenic-aromatics, aromaticolefins, and compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen, and

11、oxy-gen atoms.3.1.2 nonaromatics fractionthe portion of the sampleeluted with n-pentane. The nonaromatics fraction is a mixtureof paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons if the sample is astraight-run material. If the sample is a cracked stock, thenonaromatics fraction will also contain aliphatic and

12、 cyclicolefins.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A weighed amount of sample is charged to the top of aglass chromatographic column packed with activated bauxiteand silica gel. n-Pentane is added to the column to elute thenonaromatics. When all of the nonaromatics are eluted, thearomatics fraction is elut

13、ed by additions of diethyl ether,chloroform, and ethyl alcohol.4.2 The solvents are completely removed by evaporation,and the residues are weighed and calculated as the aromaticsand nonaromatics fractions of the sample.5.

ProcedureNOTE 3The procedural details differ depending on the initial boilingpoint of the sample. If the 5 % point is above 178 C (350 F), but below23

28、2 C (450 F), use procedure described in Appendix X1. If above232 C, continue as written depending on amount of sample to beanalyzed. Instructions specific for 2 g samples are given in 8.4.1 8.4.13,and instructions specific for 10 g samples are given in 8.5.1 and 8.5.8.8.1 Select the appropriate colu

29、mn, depending on whether2 g or 10 g of sample are to be analyzed. Clean the columnwith chromic-sulfuric acid (WarningCauses severe burns),followed by distilled or demineralized water, acetone, and dryair or nitrogen.8.2 Introduce a small plug of glass wool into the column,pressing it firmly into the

30、 lower end to prevent the flow of silicagel from the column.8.3 Clamp the column in a vertical position. Add smallincrements of silica gel, while vibrating the column along itslength, until the tightly packed silica gel extends to the lowermark on the chromatographic column. Continue to vibrate thec

31、olumn and add bauxite until the bauxite layer extends to theupper mark on the chromatographic column. Vibrate thecolumn for an additional 3 min after filling is completed.8.4 If 2 g of sample are to be analyzed, continue as in 8.4.1,otherwise continue as in 8.5.8.4.1 If the sample is viscous, warm i

32、t with intermittentmixing or shaking until it is completely fluid. Transfer arepresentative sample (approximately 2 g) to a 25 mL weigh-ing bottle or flask. Determine the mass of the sample to thenearest 1 mg by weighing the flask before and after sampletransfer. Add 10 mL of n-pentane (WarningExtre

33、mely flam-mable liquid), to the flask and dissolve the sample. If thesample does not dissolve completely in cold n-pentane, warmit in warm water or over a steam bath. If the sample does notdissolve in warm n-pentane, take a fresh sample and substitutecyclohexane for the n-pentane.8.4.2 Add 10 mL of

34、n-pentane to the top of the column toprewet the adsorbent. When the liquid level reaches the top ofthe bauxite bed, transfer the sample solution from the weighingflask to the top of the column. Rinse the flask with threesuccessive 3 mL washes of n-pentane. Add each wash to thetop of the column. Then

35、 rinse the walls of the column bulb withtwo 3 mL portions of n-pentane, allowing the liquid level toreach the top of the bauxite bed before adding the next portion.Finally add 35 mL of n-pentane to the column bulb.8.4.3 Place a 50 mL graduate beneath the column to collectthe eluate. The elution rate

36、 should be approximately 1 mL min.NOTE 4Gas pressure (WarningCompressed gas) can be applied tothe top of the column as necessary to maintain the elution rate atapproximately 1 mL min. If the correct pressure setting is known fromprevious runs, gas pressure may be applied after addition of the lastin

37、crement of n-pentane. Otherwise, gas pressure should be applied whenn-pentane begins to elute from the column and should be adjusted to givea flow rate of approximately 1 mL min.8.4.4 When the n-pentane level reaches the top of thebauxite bed, add 80 mL of diethyl ether (WarningExtremelyflammable).

38、Connect the pressuring gas to the top of thecolumn and adjust the pressure to maintain an elution rate of1 mL min to 2 mL min.8.4.5 Collect 50 mL of n-pentane eluate in the graduate.Rinse the tip of the column with 1 mL to 2 mL of n-pentane,adding this to the 50 mL in the graduate (Note 5). Label th

39、e50 mL graduate as n-pentane eluate.NOTE 5The n-pentane will have reached the adsorbent bed before therequired volume of eluate has been collected in the 50 mL receiver.Continue collection in this receiver after the addition of ether until theproper volume has been collected before changing to the 1

40、00 mLgraduate.8.4.6 When the ether level reaches the top of the bauxitebed, release the gas pressure and add 100 mL of chloroform(WarningToxic. May be fatal if swallowed) to the top of thecolumn. Reconnect the gas pressuring system and continue theelution. When 80 mL of eluate have been collected in

41、 thegraduate, rinse the column tip with 1 mL of ether and add therinse to the 100 mL graduate. Change the receiver to a 250 mLgraduate. Label the 100 mL graduate as ether-eluted fraction.8.4.7 When the chloroform level reaches the top of thebauxite bed, release the gas pressure and add 75 mL of ethy

42、lalcohol (WarningFlammable liquid). Reconnect the gaspressuring system and continue the elution until the alcohollevel reaches the top of the bauxite bed. Release the gaspressure.

48、0 Repeat the evaporation step for 5 min periods untilthe mass loss between successive evaporations is less than20 mg. Heat from a steam bath is generally required during thefinal evaporation steps to remove completely the elutionsolvent. The mass of the residue in the beaker is the quantity ofthe no
