15、 factors are applied tomono-, di-, and triglycerides to calculate the bonded glycerin content of the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Free and bonded glycerin content reflects the quality of biodiesel.Ahigh content of free glycerin may cause problems duringstorage, or in the fuel system, due to sep

16、aration of the glycerin. A high total glycerin content can lead to injector fouling and mayalso contribute to the formation of deposits at injection nozzles, pistons, and valves.6. Apparatus6.1 Chromatographic SystemSee Practice E355 for specific designations and definitions.6.1.1 Gas Chromatograph

17、(GC)The system must be capable of operating at the conditions given in Table 1.6.1.2 Column, open tubular column with a 5 % phenylpolydimethylsiloxane bonded and cross linked phase internal coating.Thecolumn should have an upper temperature limit of at least 400C. Columns, either 10 m or 15 m in len

18、gth, with a 0.32 mm internaldiameter, and a 0.1 m film thickness have been found satisfactory. Any column with better or equivalent chromatographicefficiency and selectivity can be used. It is recommended that a 2 to 5 metre 0.53 mm high temperature guard column be installedfrom the injector to the

19、analytical column. This allows the use of autoinjectors and also increases column life.6.2 Electronic Data Acquisition System:6.2.1 Integrator or Computer, capable of providing real time graphic and digital presentation of the chromatographic data isrecommended for use. Peak areas and retention time

45、ing to carbon numbers (CN).10.4 Monoglyceride consists of the four overlapping peaks with relative retention times (RRT) of 0.76 and 0.83 to 0.86 withrespect to the internal standard tricaprin.Apair of peaks, methyl esters with a carbon number of 24, may appear with RRT of 0.80to 0.82, and should no

46、t be included in the calculation of monoglyceride.10.5 Diglyceride is also primarily separated according to carbon number, but due to varying double bonds in the molecules,baseline resolution of the peaks does not occur. The grouping of 3 to 4 peaks with RRT of 1.05 to 1.09 (CN 34, 36, and 38) shall

47、be attributed to diglyceride. Carbon number also separates triglyceride. Peaks with RRT of 1.16 to 1.31 (CN 52, 54, 56, and 58)should be included in the calculation.11.
