1、Designation: D7304 16Standard Test Method forDetermination of Denatonium Ion in Engine Coolant byHPLC1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7304; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revis

2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the chemical analysis of enginecoolant for denatonium benzoate (DNB) by high-performanceliquid chromatog

3、raphy (HPLC). DNB is added to potentiallyrender engine coolant unpalatable to animals and humans. Thisanalytical method was designed for the analysis of DNB and isnot valid for any other bittering agents such as denatoniumsaccharide.1.2 This test method is applicable to both new and usedcoolants.1.3

4、 Coelution of other ions may cause interferences in thedetection of the denatonium cation. In the case of unfamiliarformulations, identification verification should be performedby either or both fortification and dilution of the sample matrixwith denatonium ion.1.4 The values stated in SI units are

5、to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices

Summary of Test Method3.1 The denatonium benzoate analysis is achieved by anHPLC method, where a weight of engine coolant is placed inan auto-sampler vial and mixed

8、 with a known volume ofde-ionized water. The auto-sampler vial is placed in a HPLCautosampler and the measurement of denatonium benzoate isperformed using a C-18 reverse phase column attached to anultraviolet detector. The ultraviolet detector is used to measurethe response of the DNB active ingredi

9、ents (denatonium andbenzoate) in the engine coolant after they have been separatedin the reverse phase column. The denatonium and benzoateresponses are compared to responses of known concentrationsand the HPLCs computer calculates the amount of DNBpresent in the coolant.4. Significance and Use4.1 Th

10、is test method provides for the qualitative and quan-titative determination of denatonium benzoate in engine cool-ant in milligrams per litre to low percent range and requiresapproximately 1 mL per test, with results available in less than10 min. Denatonium benzoate is a compound composed of aquater

11、nary ammonium cation, denatonium and an inert anion,benzoate. In solution the denatonium benzoate exists in equi-librium between the denatonium benzoate compound, thedenatonium cation and benzoate anion. By slightly adjustingthe pH of the solution to be more acidic ( pH 4.6) theequilibrium will be s

12、hifted to the direction of forming moredenatonium and benzoate ions in the solution.5. Interferences5.1 Interferences can be caused by substances with similarretention times, especially if they are in high concentrationcompared to the analyte of interest, denatonium ion. Knownchromatographic interfe

13、rences have been determined and theanalysis modified to minimize any co-elution of interferingpeaks. The eluent strength and flow rate can be used to reduceor solve most interference problems.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D15 on EngineCoolants and Related Fluids and i
