Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is injected at a constant rate into a flowinghydrogen stream in a hydrogenolysis apparatus. The sampleand hydrogen are pyrolyzed at a
7、 temperature of 1300C, orabove, to convert sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide (H2S).Readout is by the rateometric detection of the colorimetricreaction of H2S with lead acetate. Condensable components areconverted to gaseous products, such as methane, during hydro-genolysis.4. Significance and Use
8、4.1 In many petroleum refining processes, low levels ofsulfur in feed stocks may poison expensive catalysts. This testmethod can be used to monitor the amount of sulfur in suchpetroleum fractions.4.2 This test method may also be used as a quality-controltool for sulfur determination in finished prod
9、ucts.5. Apparatus3,45.1 Pyrolysis FurnaceA furnace that can provide anadjustable temperature from 900 to 1400C in a 5-mm insidediameter or larger tube is required to pyrolyze the sample. Thefurnace entry temperature shall allow insertion of the hypoder-mic tip to a depth at which the temperature is
10、550C to providesample vaporization at the injection syringe tip. This tempera-ture shall be above the boiling point of the sample and of thesulfur compounds in the sample (see Fig. 1). The pyrolyzertube may be of quartz; however, the lifetime is limited above1250C. Ceramic may be used at any tempera
11、ture.5.2 Rateometric H2S Readout Hydrogenolysis productscontain H2S in proportion to sulfur in the sample. The H2Sismeasured by measuring rate of change of reflectance caused bydarkening when lead sulfide is formed. Rateometric electron-ics, adapted to provide a first derivative output, allows suffi
12、-cient sensitivity to measure below 0.1 mg/L (see Fig. 2).5.3 Hypodermic SyringeA hypodermic having a needlelong enough to reach the 550C zone is required. A side port isconvenient for vacuum filling and for flushing the syringe. A1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onP

Preparation of Apparatus7.1 T
30、urn on the furnace with temperature controls at mini-mum. Gradually increase furnace control over a 3-h period toapproximately 1300C to minimize thermal shock. Reverse theprocedure when preparing for long-term storage. For shutdownat night and over weekends, reduce temperature to about 900Cbut do no
31、t turn off the furnace. Furnace and quartz tubing lifeare extended by not cooling to room temperature.7.2 Connect all tubing and fill prehumidifier outside thecabinet with water if this apparatus is being used, and finalhumidifier inside the cabinet with 5 % by volume acetic acidsolution. Purge with
32、 inert gas, then close valve. Check allconnections and repair any leaks that are found.(WarningOn instruments where electronics are in closeproximity with the flow systems, exercise care if leak checkingwith a soap solution. A suitable method is to block the line thatgoes to the final humidifier and
33、 observe the flow meter. If theflow drops to zero, the flow systems are adequately leak-free.)Set hydrogen flow at 200 mL/min, and allow temperature tostabilize. (WarningExtremely flammable gas under pres-sure.) Make final temperature adjustment to 1315 6 15C. Usea standard thermocouple to verify te
34、mperature by insertingthrough a septum with hydrogen flowing at the rate notedabove. Determine depth of insertion required, and always insertthe hypodermic tip to the 550C point (see 7.6). (WarningThe use of a humidifier gas wash bottle filled with approxi-mately 250 mL of water is a potential safet
35、y hazard ashydrogen pressure may build up inside the container. The userof this test method should take appropriate safety measures toprevent an accidental injury, if the humidifier gas wash bottleis used in the analysis.)7.3 Prepare the sample injection drive. Check to be suredesired injection rate
36、 is obtained at various settings. Verify thaterratic pulses of fast drive do not occur when the drive rangeis switched. Pulses of high sample flow above 15 L/min willcause carboning and spurious readings.7.4 Install sensing tape, and turn H2S readout analyzer on.7.5 Connect the recorder and adjust t
37、he zero to desiredposition with hydrogen flowing.7.6 Fill syringe with blank reference standard solution,typically isooctane, insert the needle through the septum to the550C temperature zone, and clamp to the syringe drive. Athigh temperature the hot needle may absorb sulfur and at lowertemperature
38、heavy compounds may not evaporate. Set thesyringe drive rate desired, normally 6 L/min, maximum with200 mL/min hydrogen flow. Drive rate may be increased forincreased sensitivity up to the point at which carbon is formed.(Hydrogen flow at 500 mL/min allows injection of 15 L/min;however, dibenzothiop
39、hene conversion will be low.)8. Calibration Standard8.1 Prepare a reference standard-solution or solutions ofstrength near that expected in the unknown. Measurements canbe made by weight or by volume for carrier liquid.8.2 Units of sulfur in milligrams per litre of sample arepreferred as this is ind
40、ependent of the density of the carrierliquid. The following equation is used to calculate the volumeof solvent required to dissolve a precise weight of sulfurcompound, of known composition and purity to prepare aliquid standard:z 5Sbc3 d 3 e 3 106D/a! or alternatively : (1)a 5Sbc3 d 3 e 3 106D/z!

44、otal volume of107.66 mL. When results are to be reported in mass of parts permillion mg/kg, the conversion from milligrams per litre shouldbe done as the last step in the calculations.8.3 To prepare a sulfur standard with a sulfur concentrationof 1000 mg/L, as previously described, obtain a clean 12
45、5-mLglass container, a 100-mL flask, and a 20-mL graduated glasspipet. Rinse each thoroughly with 2,2,4-trimethyl pentane(isooctane). (WarningExtremely flammable.) Pour approxi-mately 90 mL of isooctane into the 100-mL flask. Weighapproximately 0.5 g of di-n-butyl sulfide directly into the flaskand
46、record the mass added, to 650 g. Add additionalisooctane to the flask to 100 mL. Transfer the mixture to the125-mL container and add isooctane equal to the difference ofz minus 100 mL. Keep containers closed as much as possible.Do not open containers of pure sulfur compound in the vicinityof sulfur
47、free stocks or low-level standards. Evaporation fromcontainers of pure sulfur compounds can contaminate othernearby liquids. This is particularly troublesome when workingbelow 1 mg/L near volatile sulfur compounds. Volumetricallydilute stock to prepare low-level standards.9. Calibration and Standard

Record the stable reading averagevalue as the zero sulfur reference and record as Rbin 11.1.There will be essentially no difference in reading with o

Afterabout 4 min injection time, adjust the recorder span forapproximately 90 % of scale. Record the average reading asRstdin 10.1.10. Procedure10.1 Advance the tape and inject the unknown sample. Aftera stable reading is obtained record this average value as Rsin11.1.10.2 Proceed with additional samples. Every 2 h, or asneeded
