Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a gas chromatographic procedure for the quan

3、titative determination of organic oxygenatedcompounds in gasoline having a final boiling point not greater than 220 C and oxygenates having a boiling point limit of 130 C.It is applicable when oxygenates are present in the 0.1 % to 20 % by mass range.1.2 This test method is intended to determine the

4、 mass concentration of each oxygenate compound present in a gasoline. Thisrequires knowledge of the identity of each oxygenate being determined (for calibration purposes). However, the oxygen-selectivedetector used in this test method exhibits a response that is proportional to the mass of oxygen. I

5、t is, therefore, possible to determinethe mass concentration of oxygen contributed by any oxygenate compound in the sample, whether or not it is identified. Totaloxygen content in a gasoline may be determined from the summation of the accurately determined individual oxygenatedcompounds. The summed

6、area of other, uncalibrated or unknown oxygenated compounds present, may be converted to a massconcentration of oxygen and summed with the oxygen concentration of the known oxygenated compounds.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are includ

Summary of Test Method4.1 An internal standard of a noninterfering oxygenate, for example, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) isadded in quantitative proportion to the gasoline sample.Arepresentative aliquot of the sample and internal standard is injecte

19、d intoa gas chromatograph equipped with a capillary column operated to ensure separation of the oxygenates. Hydrocarbons andoxygenates are eluted from the column, but only oxygenates are detected with the oxygen-selective flame ionization detector(OFID). A discussion of this detector is presented in

20、 Section 6.4.2 Calibration mixtures are used for determining the retention times and relative mass response factors of the oxygenates ofinterest. Suggested calibrant materials are listed in 8.2.4.3 The peak area of each oxygenate in the gasoline is measured relative to the peak area of the internal

21、standard. A quadraticleast-squares fit of the calibrated data of each oxygenate is applied and the concentration of each oxygenate calculated.NOTE 1While 1,2-dimethoxyethane has been found to be an appropriate internal standard, other oxygenates may be used provided they are not presentin the sample

22、 and do not interfere with any compound of interest.5. Significance and Use5.1 In gasoline blending, the determination of organic oxygenated compounds is important. Alcohols, ethers, and otheroxygenates are added to gasoline to increase the octane number and to reduce tailpipe emissions of carbon mo

23、noxide. They mustbe added in the proper concentration and ratios to meet regulatory limitations and to avoid phase separation and problems withengine performance or efficiency.5.2 This test method provides sufficient oxygen-to-hydro-carbon selectivity and sensitivity to allow determination of oxygen

24、atesin gasoline samples without interference from the bulk hydrocarbon matrix.6. Theory of OFID Operation6.1 The detection system selective for organic oxygen consists of a cracking reactor, hydrogenating reactor (methanizer), anda flame ionization detector (FID). The cracking reactor, connected imm

25、ediately after the gas chromatographic capillary column,consists of a Pt/Rh capillary tube. Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed from compounds containing oxygen according to thefollowing reaction:CxHyOzzCO1y/2!H 21x2z!C (1)6.2 An excess layer of carbon is created in the Pt/Rh tube of the cracking reactor

26、 from the introduction of hydrocarbons fromthe sample or, if so designed, from a hydrocarbon (for example, pentane or hexane) doping system, or both. This layer of carbonfacilitates the cracking reaction and suppresses hydrocarbon response.6.3 The carbon monoxide formed in the cracking reactor is co

27、nverted to methane in the hydrogenating reactor according to thefollowing reaction:CO13H 2CH41H2O (2)The CH4 is subsequently detected with an FID.6.4 The methanizer consists either of a short porous layer open tubular (PLOT) glass capillary tube internally coated withaluminum oxide with adsorbed nic

28、kel catalyst or stainless steel tubing containing a nickel-based catalyst. It is installed within orbefore the FID and is operated in the range from 350 C to 450 C, depending on the instruments manufacturer.NOTE 2Gasolines with high sulfur content may cause a loss in detector sensitivity thereby lim

Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographAny gas chromatograph can be used having the following performance characteristics:7.1.1 Column Temperature ProgrammerThe chromatograph must be capable of reproducible linear temper

30、ature programmingover a range sufficient for separation of the components of interest.7.1.2 Sample Introduction SystemAny system capable of introducing a representative 0.1 L to 1.0 L liquid sample into thesplit inlet device of the gas chromatograph. Microlitre syringes, autosamplers, and liquid sam

31、pling valves have been usedsuccessfully. The split injector should be capable of accurate split control in the range from 10:1 to 500:1.7.1.3 Carrier and Detector Gas ControlConstant flow control of carrier and detector gases is critical to optimum andconsistent analytical performance. Control is be

The supply pressure of the gas delivered to the gas chromatograph must be at least70 kPa (10 psig) greater than the regulated gas at the instrument to compensate

33、 for the system back pressure. In general, a supplypressure of 550 kPa (80 psig) will be satisfactory.7.2 OFID Detector System, consisting of a cracking reactor, methanizer, and FID.
