Summary of Test Method3.1 A relatively large volume of sample is charged to a gaspartition chromatography apparatus which has a column thatwi

6、ll separate the trace hydrocarbon constituents from the majorcomponents. Any column or combination of columns may beused provided they have the necessary resolution and thedetecting system has sufficient sensitivity. Several columns thathave been found satisfactory are given in 5.1.3.2 Calculation i

7、s performed by calculating the concentra-tion of the trace compound from its area relative to the area ofa standard compound of known concentration.4. Significance and Use4.1 The trace hydrocarbon compounds listed in Table 1 mayhave an effect in the commercial use of propylene concentrates,and infor

8、mation on their concentration is frequently necessary.5. Apparatus5.1 ColumnsAny column may be used provided it willresolve the trace compound peaks present in concentrations of20 ppm or more so that the resolution ratio, A/B, will not beless than 0.4, where A is the depth of the valley on either si

9、deof peak B and B is the height above the baseline of the smallerof any two adjacent peaks (see Fig. 1). For compounds presentin concentrations of less than 20 ppm the ratio A/B may be lessthan 0.4. In the case where the small-component peak isadjacent to a large one, it may be necessary to construc

10、t thebaseline of the small peak tangent to the curve as shown in Fig.2. Butylenes need not be resolved from each other. Columnsfound to be acceptable together with operating conditions usedare shown in Table 2. Table 3 shows typical retention times.5.1.1 Columns may be constructed of 3.2-mm (18-in.)

11、,6.4-mm (14-in.), or capillary tubing and usually need to be aminimum of 6 m (20 ft) in length. They usually have 20 to 40g of liquid substrate to 100 g of solid support. If packedcolumns are used, the liquid may be placed on the solid supportby any suitable method, provided the column has the desir

12、edresolution and sensitivity.NOTE 1Separation of all the desired compounds on a single columnhas been found by cooperators to be very difficult. Most laboratories havefound it necessary to use two or more columns. Typical instructions forpreparing such columns may be found in Practice E 260.5.2 Gas

13、ChromatographAny gas chromatography appa-ratus may be used provided the system has sufficient sensitivityto detect the trace compounds of interest. For calculationtechniques utilizing a recorder, the signal for 20 ppm concen-tration shall be at least 5 chart divisions above the noise levelona0to100s

41、lose valve A and disconnect at E.NOTE 3To avoid possible rupture of the liquid-filled pipe cylinder, thesample cylinder and its contents should be at room temperature prior tosampling and the liquid should be allowed to remain in the pipe cylinderfor only a minimum amount of time.7.5.2.1 Connect the

42、 cylinder containing the vaporizedsample to the chromatograph gas valve. Evacuate the sampleloop and the lines up to the sample cylinder. Close the valve tothe vacuum source and allow the sample loop to fill withsample up to atmospheric pressure. Repeat the evacuation andfilling of the sample loop w

Synthetic Standard9.1 Connect the silicone septum to a valve of the stainlesssteel sample cylinder in such a manner that the volumebetween the septum and the valve is less

45、than 1 % of the totalvolume of the cylinder. By means of suitable fittings connectthe other valve of the cylinder to a vacuum pump and evacuatethe cylinder and space between the cylinder valve and septum.Close the valves, disconnect the cylinder from the vacuumpump, and weigh the empty cylinder on a

46、 suitable platformbalance to the nearest 1 g.9.2 Connect the tubing to the 1,3-butadiene cylinder andcrack the valve on this cylinder so that there is a constant flowof vapors from the end of the tubing which must be at roomtemperature. Insert the syringe into the end of the tubing andslowly withdra

Closethe valve between the cylinder and the septum. Inject 5 cm3ofacetylene to the evacuated cylinder in the same manner.9.3 Fill another cylin

48、der of the same size with propane orpropylene base stock. Establish outage in the base stockcylinder by removing 25 % of the liquid contents. Place thecylinder containing the blend stock in a vertical position so thatthe bottom valve is above the top of the cylinder containing thebutadiene. If the c

49、ylinder containing the base stock is equippedwith a dip pipe be sure that this valve is at the top. Connect thebottom valve of the base stock cylinder to the other cylinder bymeans of suitable tubing capable of withstanding 1723 kPa(250 psi) pressure. Flush the connecting line with base stockbefore tightening connections to the evacuated cylinder. Coolthe evacuated cylinder to a temperature of 11 to 17C (20 to30F) below that of the base stock. Open the valves betweenthe two cylinders and allow the base stock to flow into theFIG. 3 Sampling and Expansion Cy
