Summary of Test Method3.1 A crude oil distillation is performed to obtain the naphtha cut at 204C (400F).204 C (400 F). The distillat
9、ion methodwas adapted from Test Method D86 for the distillation of petroleum products. The naphtha cut is washed with caustic, repeatedlywhen necessary, until all hydrogen sulfide is removed. The naphtha cut, free of hydrogen sulfide, is then washed with water,repeatedly when necessary, to remove in
10、organic halides (chlorides).3.2 There are two alternative test methods for determination of the organic chloride in the washed naphtha fraction, as follows.3.2.1 Test Method A, Sodium Biphenyl Reduction and PotentiometryThe washed naphtha fraction of a crude oil specimen isweighed and transferred to

The gas and sampleflow through a combusti
18、on tube maintained at about 800C.800 C. The chlorine is converted to chloride and oxychlorides, whichthen flow into a titration cell where they react with the silver ions in the titration cell. The silver ions thus consumed arecoulometrically replaced. The total current required to replace the silve
19、r ions is a measure of the chlorine present in the injectedsamples.3.2.3 The reaction occurring in the titration cell as chloride enters is as follows:Cl21Ag1AgCls!

When present, they result from contamination in some manner,such as disposal of waste solvent or as use for d
21、ewaxing a pipeline or other equipment.4.1.1 While an uncontaminated crude oil will contain zero ppm of organic chloride, a very small amount is capable of beinghandled in a refinery.4.1.2 A rule of thumb used by refiners is 1 ppm organic chlorides in the whole crude, and 5 ppm in the light naphtha,
22、whenthe naphtha fraction is 20 % of the original sample.4.1.2.1 For refiners to ensure 1 ppm organic chloride in the crude oil, the amount measured in the naphtha fraction must be 1/f (where f is the naphtha fraction calculated with Eq 3).4.1.3 Any organic halide present in the crude oil almost alwa
23、ys distills into the naphtha fraction. Some varieties can break downduring fractionation but most survive this process and are destroyed during further refining usually during hydro-treating(desulfurization of the naphtha).4.2 Sometimes other halides have been used for dewaxing crude oil; in such ca
24、ses, any organic halides will cause the sameproblems as the organic chlorides.4.3 Organic chloride species are potentially damaging to refinery processes. Hydrochloric acid can be produced in hydrotreatingor reforming reactors and the acid accumulates in condensing regions of the refinery. Unexpecte
25、d concentrations of organicchlorides cannot be effectively neutralized and damage can result. Organic chlorides are not known to be naturally present in crudeoils and usually result from cleaning operations at producing sites, pipelines, or tanks. It is important for the oil industry to havecommon m
26、ethods available for the determination of organic chlorides in crude oil, particularly when transfer of custody isinvolved.5. Interferences5.1 Test Method AOther titratable halides will also give a positive response. These titratable halides include HBr and HI.5.2 Test Method BOther titratable halid
27、es will also give a positive response. These titratable halides include HBr and HI(HOBr and HOI do not precipitate silver). Since these oxyhalides do not react in the titration cell, approximately 50 %microequivalent response is detected.5.2.1 This test method is applicable in the presence of total

Sampling9.1 Obtain a test unit in accordance with Practice D4057 or D4177. To preserve volatile components, which ar
38、e in somesamples, do not uncover samples any longer than necessary. Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible, after taking frombulk supplies, to prevent loss of organic chloride or contamination due to exposure or contact with sample container.(WarningSamples that are collected at temperatures
39、 below room temperature may undergo expansion and rupture the container.For such samples, do not fill the container to the top; leave sufficient air space above the sample to allow room for expansion.)9.2 If the test unit is not used immediately, then thoroughly mix in its container prior to taking

(WarningWhen heating is required, care should be taken so that no organicchloride containing hydrocarbons are lost.)10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Clean all glassware by rinsing successively with toluene and acetone. Aft
41、er completing the rinse, dry the glassware usinga stream of dry nitrogen gas. Obtain and record the masses of the round-bottom flask and receiving cylinder.

44、ational Headquarters. Your comments will receive careful consideration at ameeting of the responsible technical committee, 1 which you may attend.D4929 15310.2 Form the copper tubing into a coil to fit inside the receiver flask, leaving room in the center of the flask for the receivingcylinder. With

Connect the upper condenser fitting to the water drain. Fill the receiverflask with an ice/water mixture, and turn on the water.
46、Maintain the temperature of the condenser below 10C.10 C.11. Procedure11.1 Add a 500-mL500 mL crude oil test specimen to tared round bottom flask. Obtain and record the mass of the crudeoil-filled flask to the nearest 0.1 g. 0.1 g. Connect the flask to the distillation apparatus. Place the heating m
47、antle around the flask,and support the heating mantle/flask from the bottom. Connect the heating mantle to the variacs. Turn on the variacs and start thedistillation. During the distillation, adjust the variac settings to give a distillation rate of approximately 55 mL mL/min. min.Continue the disti
