Summary of Test Method4.1 Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is analyzed by a gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a flame ionizatio
17、n detector (FID). Aprecisely repeatable volume of the sample to be analyzed is injected onto the gas chromatograph. The peak areas of the impuritiesare measured and converted to concentrations via an external standard methodology. Purity by GC (the Cumene content) iscalculated by subtracting the sum
18、 of the impurities from 100.00, excluding Acetophenone (AP) and 2-phenyl-2-propanol (DMPCor DMBA) which are artifacts of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) thermal decomposition in the inlet of the GC. Results are reportedin weight percent.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is suitable for setting
19、specifications on the materials referenced in 1.2 and for use as an internal qualitycontrol tool where isopropylbenzene is produced or is used in a manufacturing process. It may also be used in development orresearch work involving isopropylbenzene.5.2 This test method is useful in determining the p
20、urity of isopropylbenzene with normal impurities present. If extremely highboiling or unusual impurities are present in the isopropylbenzene, this test method would not necessarily detect them and the puritycalculation would be erroneous.5.3 Cumene hydroperoxide, if present, will yield thermal decom
21、position products, primarilyAPand DMPC as stated in 4.1, thatwill elute in the chromatogram thereby giving incorrect results unless they are excluded as indicated in 4.1. It is also possible toget erroneous results for trace alpha-methylstyrene present in isopropylbenzene if the inlet has become und
22、uly contaminated withnon-volatile foreign substances.5.4 The nonaromatic hydrocarbons commonly present from the isopropylbenzene manufacturing process, particularly anon-zeolitic one, will interfere with the determination of xylenes (if present).6. Apparatus6.1 Gas ChromatographAny instrument having
23、 a flame ionization detector that can be operated at the conditions given inTable 2. The system should have sufficient sensitivity to obtain a minimum peak height response for 1 mg/kg benzene of twicethe height of the signal background noise.6.2 ColumnsThe choice of column is based on resolution req
24、uirements.Any column may be used that is capable of resolvingall significant impurities from isopropylbenzene. The column described in Table 2 has been used successfully and shall be usedas a referee in cases of dispute. Unless the analyst can be sure of peak identity, for example by gas chromatogra
25、phy-massspectrometry (GC-MS), the use of the column in Table 2 is strongly recommended.6.3 RecorderElectronic integration is required.Chromatographic data systems are preferred but electronic integration may beused if the user can demonstrate that the results are consistent with the precision statem
26、ent. Recorders are not considered adequatefor meeting the precision requirements of this standard.6.4 InjectorThe specimen must be precisely and repeatedly injected into the gas chromatograph. An automatic sampleinjection device is highly recommended. Manual injection can be employed if the precisio
27、n stated in Table 1, Summary ofPrecision Data, can be reliably and consistently satisfied.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests.

Because the availability of stock cumene with a purity higher than 99.97 % is problematic, the method ofstandard additions may be required for impurities such as tert-butylbenzene and n-propylbe
