Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of chloride inaromatic hydrocarbons, their derivatives, and

The test method limitof detection (LOD) is 0.07 mg/kg.1.3 This test method is preferred over Test Method D5194for products, such as styrene, that are polymerized by thesodium biphenyl reagent.1.4 In determining the conformanc
5、e of the test results usingthis method to applicable specifications, results shall berounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method ofPractice E29.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard doe

Summary of Test Method4.1 An aliquot of sample is introduced into a combustiontube maintained at 900 to 1100C having a flowing stream ofoxygen combustion gas and argon inert gas. Oxidative pyroly-sis converts the organic and inorganic halides
18、 to hydrogenhalides that then flow into a titration cell where it reacts withsilver ions present in the electrolyte. The silver ion thusconsumed is coulometrically replaced and the total electricalwork to replace it is a measure of the amount of organic halidesin the specimen, which was introduced (
19、see Annex A1).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for determining organic aswell as inorganic chloride compounds that can prove harmfulto equipment and reactions in processes involving hydrocar-bons. The combination of both the organic and inorganicchloride is commonly termed “tota
20、l chloride” and since theinorganic chlorides are partially recovered, the result for totalchloride will be biased low.5.2 Maximum chloride levels are often specified for processstreams and for hydrocarbon products.5.3 Organic chloride species are potentially damaging torefinery processes. Hydrochlor
21、ic acid can be produced in hydrotreating or reforming reactors and this acid accumulates incondensing regions of the refinery.6. Interferences6.1 Both nitrogen and sulfur interfere at concentrationsgreater than approximately 0.1 %.6.2 Bromides and iodides, if present, will be calculated aschlorides.
22、 However, fluorides are not detected by this testmethod.6.3 Both organic and inorganic chloride in the sample willbe measured due to conversion of both species to HCL duringthe oxidative pyrolysis process which is commonly termed astotal chloride. The results for total chloride will be biased lowsin
23、ce the measurement of total chloride is the sum of bothorganic and inorganic chloride compounds in the sample andinorganic compounds (if present) are only partially converted.The measurement of only the “organic chloride” in the samplecan be measured by water washing the sample prior to analysisto r
24、emove the inorganic chloride in the sample. Partial loss oforganic halogens which are partially soluble into the waterwash, such as chloroacetic acid, may occur. The water washingprocedure can not be applied to water soluble samples.7. Apparatus7.1 Pyrolysis Furnace, which can maintain at 900 to 110
25、0Cand sufficient to pyrolyze the organic matrix and convert allchlorine present in the sample to hydrogen chloride. Furnacesystems with the furnace orientated horizontally or verticallycan be used.7.2 Pyrolysis Tube, made of quartz and constructed in a waythat the sample can be evaporated in an iner
26、t gas stream, and bepyrolyzed afterwards in the presence of oxygen. The inlet endof the tube must have a sample inlet 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 m
27、ust be of ample volume,so that complete pyrolysis of the sample is ensured.7.3 Titration Cell, containing sensor electrode, referenceelectrode and working electrode pair. An inlet from thepyrolysis tube and magnetic stirring is also required.(WarningExcessive stirring speed will decouple the stirrin
28、gbar and cause it to bounce in the titration cell, possiblydamaging the electrodes. A slight vortex in the cell is ad-equate.)7.4 Microcoulometer, with connections for the electrodes,capable of measuring the potential of the sensor electrode, andcomparing this potential with a bias potential, and am
29、plifyingthe difference to the working electrode pair to generate acurrent. The microcoulometer output voltage signal should beproportional to the generating current.7.5 Controlling Unit, for programming and setting theoperating parameters of the instrument and integration of data.7.6 Flow ControlThe
30、 apparatus must be quipped withflow controllers capable of maintaining a constant supply andflow of oxygen and argon gas.7.7 Sample Inlet (Boat Inlet or Direct Injection).7.7.1 Boat Inlet Systems (Horizontal Furnace).7.7.1.1 Automated Boat Drive (Required), having variablestops, such that the sample
31、 boat may be driven into the furnaceand stopped at various points as it enters the furnace therebyensuring the controlled combustion of the sample and prevent-ing the formation of soot or coke, both of which indicateincomplete sample combustion. If direct injection is used witha horizontal system, t
32、he automated boat drive is not required.7.7.1.2 Boat Inlet Cooler (Required)Sample volatility andinjection volume require an apparatus capable of cooling thesample boat prior to sample introduction. Thermoelectriccoolers (peltier) or re-circulating refrigerated liquid deviceshave both been found eff
33、ective. Other approaches can be usedas long as the performance criteria of the method are notaffected. If direct injection is used with a horizontal system, theboat inlet cooler is not required.7.7.1.3 Quartz or Ceramic Sample Boats, of sufficient sizeto hold 90 to 250 L or mg of sample.7.7.2 Direct
34、 Injection (Both Horizontal or Vertical Fur-nace).D7457 1127.7.2.1 Direct Injection (Required)A sample introductionsystem capable of directly injecting sample into the furnace(either vertical or horizontal) at a controlled rate therebyensuring the controlled combustion of the sample and prevent-ing
35、the formation of soot or coke, both of which indicateincomplete sample combustion.7.8 Autosampler (Required), capable of accurately deliver-ing 90 to 240 L of sample into the pyrolysis tube or sampleboat if a boat inlet with automated boat drive and inlet systemis used. An autosampler is required to
36、 ensure the accuracy andperformance of the method is maintained.NOTE 1Multiple rinsing with clean solvent and/or sample betweensample injections and/or between sampling from different sample vials isrecommended to minimize carryover contamination. An independentsolvent flush from a separate vial and
37、 different from the solvent washthereby providing a clean, uncontaminated solvent may also be used.These features may be used as long as they do not degrade theperformance and accuracy of the method.7.9 Dehydrating Tube or Drying Vessel, positioned at theoutlet of the pyrolysis tube so that effluent
38、 gases are bubbledthrough concentrated sulfuric acid. The water vapor formed inthe combustion gases are trapped while all other gases includ-ing hydrogen halides are allowed to flow through into thetitration cell.7.10 Gas-Tight Sampling Syringe, having a capacity up to250 L and capable of accurately
39、 delivering 90 to 240 L ofsample. Syringes of differing sizes (100 or 250 L) arepermissible to be used as long as the precision and accuracy ofthe method are not degraded.7.11 Balance, analytical, with sensitivity to 0.0001 g.7.12 Gas RegulatorsTwo-stage gas regulators must beused for the reactant a
40、nd carrier gas.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests.
