1、Designation: D 1608 98 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forOxides of Nitrogen in Gaseous Combustion Products(Phenol-Disulfonic Acid Procedures)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1608; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,
2、 in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.
3、1 This test method describes the phenol-disulfonic acidcolorimetric procedure (1)2for the determination of totaloxides of nitrogen nitrous oxide (N2O) excepted in gaseouseffluents from combustion and other nitrogen oxidation pro-cesses.1.2 It is applicable to a concentration range of oxides ofnitrog
4、en as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) of 5 ppm to severalthousand parts per million by volume (four to several thousandmilligrams per dry standard cubic metre).1.3 Since the grab sampling technique used takes a rela-tively small sample over a very short period of time, the resultobtained will be an instantan
5、eous measure of the nitrogenoxides and, therefore, will be representative of the emissionsonly if the gas stream is well mixed and the concentrationconstant with time. Multiple samples are recommended.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The SI equivalents are in parenthe
6、ses and may beapproximate.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations pr
7、ior to use. (For more specificsafety precautionary information see 8.5 and Section 3.)2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The gas sample is admitted into an evacuated flaskcontaining an oxidizing absorbing solution
9、consisting of hy-drogen peroxide in dilute sulfuric acid. The oxides of nitrogenare converted to nitric acid by gas phase oxidation due tooxygen in the sample and by the absorbent solution. Theresulting nitrate ion is reacted with phenol disulfonic acid toproduce a yellow compound (the tri-ammonium
10、salt of 6-nitro-1-phenol-2,4-disulfonic acid), which is measured colorimetri-cally. Calibration curves, prepared from samples of knownnitrate content, are used to determine the amount of nitrate inthe sample with results expressed as nitrogen dioxide.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provi
11、des a means to measure the totalnitrogen oxides (NOx) content of gaseous emissions for pur-poses such as determining compliance with regulations, study-ing the effect of various abatement procedures on NOxemis-sions, and checking the validity of instrumental measurements.6. Interferences (1, 2)6.1 I
12、norganic nitrates, nitrites, or organic nitrogen com-pounds that are easily oxidized to nitrates interfere with the testmethod and give erroneously high results. The presence ofcertain reducing agents, for example, sulfur dioxide (SO2),may interfere by consuming part of the hydrogen peroxide inthe a
13、bsorbing solution to leave an inadequate amount forreaction with the oxides of nitrogen. Halides lower the results,but interference from halide ion (and lead) are negligible in theconcentration usually encountered in combustion sources.6.2 The role of some of the constituents of combustioneffluents
14、as possible interfering substances has not been thor-oughly investigated.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.03 on AmbientAtmospheres and Source Emissions.Current edition approved April 10, 2003.

39、ampling10.1 Pipet 25.0 mL of absorbing solution into a calibratedsampling flask and attach the three-way stopcock to the flask(see Note 4) with the T-bore in the purge position. Insert thesampling probe tip from approximately one-third to halfwayinto the stack or duct, or at least 1 m into stacks gr
40、eater than 2m in diameter, in such a way as to prevent leakage of air intothe stack around the probe. Assemble as shown in Fig. 1,making sure that all ground-glass joints have been properlygreased, and that all joints and fittings are tight and leak-free.Turn the flask stopcock to the evacuate posit
41、ion and evacuatethe flask to the incipient boiling of the solution. If the incipientboiling of the solution cannot be seen, this will be indicated onthe manometer by a low and constant reading (usually around2.5 to 4.0 kPa 20 to 30 torr or 0.8 to 1.2 in. Hg. Shut off thepump valve and then the pump.
42、 Check for leakage by observ-ing the manometer for any pressure increase. Any increasegreater than 1.33 kPa 10 torr or 0.4 in. Hg over a 1-minperiod is not acceptable; do not take a sample until the leakageproblem is corrected. Turn the flask stopcock to the purgeposition. Using a pump or a valved r
43、ubber squeeze bulb,thoroughly purge the sampling probe and the flask stopcockwith the sample gas until the probe and stopcock are warmedto the gas temperature and free of condensate. If condensationremains, heat the probe and purge until the condensationdisappears. With the pump valve and pump shut
44、off, turn theflask stopcock to the evacuate position and record the flasktemperature, the difference in mercury levels in the manometer,and the barometric pressure. The absolute pressure in the flaskis equal to the barometric pressure minus the manometerreading. Immediately, turn the stopcock to the
45、 sample positionso that the gas enters the flask and the pressures in the flask andthe sample line are equalized (usually about 15 s are sufficient).Turn the stopcock to the purge position to seal the flask andallow the gas to remain in contact with the absorbing solutionovernight (see Note 5) at ro
46、om temperature. For furtherinformation on sampling, refer to Practice D 1357 and Prac-tices D 1605.NOTE 4The end 6 mm 14 in. of the male 24/40 standard-taper jointis not lubricated to minimize contact of the gas sample with stopcockgrease during absorption.NOTE 5If an overnight absorption period is
47、not feasible, the samplecan be shaken initially and every 20 min for a 2-h period. The result willnot be significantly different than for a static overnight absorption period,provided that the oxygen concentration in the flask is greater than 1 %.11.

Construct a calibra-tion curve by plotting the absorbencies of the solutions at 405nm against the micrograms of NO2.NOTE 6Higher sample concentrations may
