18、d a cathode separated by a saltbridge; maintains a constant silver ion concentration.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A liquid specimen is injected into a combustion tubemaintained at 900C having a flowing stream of oxygen andargon carrier gas. Oxidative pyrolysis converts the organichalides to hydrogen

19、 halides that then flow into a titration cellwhere it reacts with silver ions present in the electrolyte. Thesilver ion thus consumed is coulometrically replaced and thetotal electrical work to replace it is a measure of the organichalides in the specimen injected (see Annex A1).5. Significance and

20、Use5.1 Organic as well as inorganic chlorine compounds canprove harmful to equipment and reactions in processes involv-ing hydrocarbons.5.2 Maximum chloride levels are often specified for processstreams and for hydrocarbon products.5.3 Organic chloride species are potentially damaging torefinery pro

21、cesses. Hydrochloric acid can be produced inhydrotreating or reforming reactors and this acid accumulatesin condensing regions of the refinery.6. Interferences6.1 Both nitrogen and sulfur interfere at concentrationsgreater than approximately 0.1 %.NOTE 1To ensure reliable detectability, all sources

22、of chloridecontamination must be eliminated.6.2 Bromides and iodides, if present, will be calculated aschlorides. However, fluorides are not detected by this testmethod.6.3 Organic chloride values of samples containing inorganicchlorides will be biased high due to partial recovery ofinorganic specie

23、s during combustion. Interference from inor-ganic species can be reduced by water washing the samplebefore analysis. This does not apply to water soluble samples.7. Apparatus7.1 Pyrolysis Furnace, which can maintain a temperaturesufficient to pyrolyze the organic matrix and convert allchlorine prese

24、nt in the sample to hydrogen chloride.7.2 Pyrolysis Tube, made of quartz and constructed so thatwhen a sample is volatilized in the front of the furnace, it isswept into the pyrolysis zone by an inert gas, where itcombusts when in the presence of oxygen. The inlet end of thetube must have a sample i

25、nlet port with a septum throughwhich the sample can be injected by syringe. The inlet endmust also have side arms for the introduction of oxygen andinert carrier gas. The pyrolysis tube must be of ample volume,so that complete pyrolysis of the sample is ensured.7.3 Titration Cell, containing a refer

26、ence and sensor pair ofelectrodes and a generator anode/cathode pair of electrodes tomaintain constant chloride ion concentration. An inlet from thepyrolysis tube and magnetic stirring is also required.(WarningExcessive stirring speed will decouple the stirringbar and cause it to rise in the titrati

27、on cell and possibly damagethe electrodes. A slight vortex in the cell will be adequate.)7.4 Microcoulometer, capable of measuring the potential ofthe sensing-reference electrode pair, and comparing this poten-tial with a bias potential, and amplifying the difference to theworking electrode pair to

28、generate a current. The microcou-lometer output voltage signal should be proportional to thegenerating current.7.5 Automatic Boat Drive, having variable stops, such thatthe sample boat may be driven into the furnace, and stopped atvarious points as it enters the furnace.7.6 Controller, with connecti

29、ons for the reference, working,and sensor electrodes. The controller is used for setting ofoperating parameters and integration of data.7.7 Dehydration Tube, positioned at the end of the pyrolysistube so that effluent gases are bubbled through a sulfuric acidsolution, and water vapor is subsequently

30、 trapped, while allother gases are allowed to flow into the titration cell.7.8 Gas-Tight Sampling Syringe, having a 50 l capacity,capable of accurately delivering 10 to 40 l of sample.7.9 Quartz Boats.8.

Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Install the instrument in accordance with manufactur-ers instructions.11.2 Adjust gas flows and pyrolysis temperature(s) to theoperating

42、 conditions as recommended by the manufacturer.11.3 The actual operation of injecting a sample will varydepending upon the instrument manufacturer and the type ofinlet system used.11.4 Prebake the sample boats to be used for the determi-nation.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Using the chlori

(The standards are appro

44、ximately 1 gCl/mL, 15 g Cl/mL H and 30 g Cl/mL.)12.3 It is customary to use a one-point calibration, but ifanalyzing a wide range of samples, use a three-point calibra-tion.12.4 The sample size can be determined eithervolumetrically, by syringe, or by mass. Make sure that thesample size is 80 % or l

45、ess of the syringe capacity.12.4.1 Volumetric measurement can be utilized by filling thesyringe with standard, carefully eliminating all bubbles, andpushing the plunger to a calibrated mark on the syringe, andrecording the volume of liquid in the syringe. After injectingthe standard, read the volume

46、 remaining in the syringe. Thedifference between the two volume readings is the volume ofstandard injected. This test method requires the known ormeasured density, to the third decimal place. Densities can befound in Test Method D1555M.12.4.2 Alternatively, the syringe may be weighed before andafter

47、 the injection to determine the weight of sample injected.This technique provides greater precision than the volumedelivery method, provided a balance with a precision of60.0001 g is used.12.5 Follow the instrument manufacturers recommendationfor introducing samples into the instrument.12.6 Repeat t

48、he measurement of each calibration standard atleast three times.12.7 If the calibration standards come out high or low,prepare fresh standards. If the calibration standards remainhigh or low, follow the instrument manufacturers recommen-dations to correct.12.8 Construct a three-point curve using the

49、 instrumentmanufacturers recommendations.13. Procedure13.1 Clean the syringe to be used for the sample. Flush itseveral times with the sample.
