Calibration and Standardization10.1 Reference StandardsPrepare standard blends of ben-zene, using fresh, full-range gasoline of low benzene content(less than 1 volume %) as the solvent. Measure and d
21、ilute allcomponents at ambient temperature. Accurately pipet therequired volume of benzene into 100-mL volumetric flaskspartially filled with the gasoline. Dilute to volume withadditional gasoline. Prepare the blends in 1 volume % incre-ments.10.2 Toluene StandardPrepare a blend of toluene in either
22、isooctane or n-heptane as the solvent. Measure and dilute allcomponents at ambient temperature. Accurately pipet 2 mL oftoluene into a 10-mL volumetric flask partially filled witheither isooctane or n-heptane. Dilute to volume with the chosensolvent.10.3 Calibration:10.3.1 Following the steps of Sec
23、tion 11, Procedure, foreach of the standard blends and the gasoline base stock,determine three absorbance values: (1) at the point of maxi-mum absorbance near 673 cm1(14.86 m), designated thebenzene band; (2) at the point of maximum absorbance near460 cm1(21.74 m), designated the toluene band; and (
24、3)at500 cm1(20.00 m), designated the baseline position.10.3.2 Following the steps of Section 11, Procedure, for thetoluene standard, determine the absorbances at the locationsdescribed in 10.3.1 for the benzene band, the toluene band, andthe baseline position. Subtract the baseline position value at
25、about 500 cm1from those found for benzene at about 673cm1and toluene at about 460 cm1in order to obtain the netabsorbance for each. Take the ratio of the benzene band netabsorbance to the toluene band net absorbance to obtain thetoluene correction factor.10.3.3 For the gasoline base stock and each b
26、lend examinedin 10.3.1, obtain the net absorbances at the benzene and thetoluene bands by subtracting the baseline position value fromthe absorbances found for the band maxima. Continuing, foreach liquid, multiply the toluene band net absorbance by thetoluene correction factor found in 10.3.2 and su
27、btract this valuefrom the benzene band net absorbance in order to obtain thecorrected net absorbance for the benzene band.10.3.4 Construct a curve by plotting the benzene bandcorrected net absorbance for each calibration liquid, as foundin 10.3.3, divided by the cell path length in millimetres, vers
28、usthe volume % of added benzene for each.10.3.5 Extrapolate the curve to zero absorbance. The abso-lute value of the intercept is the concentration of benzene in thegasoline used as the solvent.10.3.6 Construct a standard reference curve by replottingthe baseline absorbances per millimetre thickness
29、, corrected in10.3.5, against total concentration of benzene in percent byvolume so that the curve passes through the origin.NOTE 2A linear equation can be used instead of the plot.11. Procedure11.1 Clean the cell with isooctane or similar solvent and dryby means of a source of vacuum.11.2 Fill the
30、absorption cell with the gasoline to be tested.Both cell and sample should be at ambient temperature duringthis operation. If moisture condensation is a problem, blanketthe cell with a dry, inert atmosphere. Use care to avoidformation of air pockets in the cell and scan immediately toprevent bubbles
31、 from forming. Observe the cell during the scanperiod to check for bubble formation.11.3 Scan the infrared spectrum from 690 cm1(14.99 m)to 440 cm1(22.73 m) versus a clear reference block in thereference beam (for double-beam operation); follow the direc-tions of the manufacturer for quantitative an
32、alysis.11.4 Determine the corrected net absorbance of the benzeneband as described in 10.3.3.11.5 Divide the benzene band corrected net absorbance, asfound in 11.4, by the cell path length in millimetres.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the benzene content of the gasoline in liquidvolume % by entering
33、the calibration curve of 10.3.6 or theequation in Note 2 with the value of the benzene band found in11.5.D405304212.2 If the results are desired on a weight basis, convert tomass %, as follows:B 5 V 3 0.8844/R (3)where:B = benzene, mass %V = benzene, volume % andR = relative density of sample, 15/15
