Summary of Test Method4.1 The

11、sample and a fixed mass of paraformaldehyde aredissolved in a mixture of xylenes and propan-2-ol. The mixtureis then titrated with potassium hydroxide using a constant rateof titrant addition. A plot of the temperature of the reactionmixture versus the volume of titrant is generated. An exother-mic

12、reaction between the titrant and sample occurs simultane-ously with the endothermic depolymerization of paraformalde-hyde. After all of the acidic material in the sample has reacted,the slope of the plot changes due to the absence of thecompetitive exothermic acid-base reaction. The change inslope i

13、s the inflection point. The depolymerization of para-formaldehyde is catalytically initiated and does not consume asignificant quantity of potassium hydroxide. The net change(positive or negative) in temperature prior to the consumption1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D0

Significance and Use5.1 Crude oils and oil sands bitumen contain naturallyoccurring acidic species. Acidity of crude oil has been impli-cated in corrosion of distribution and process syste

17、ms. Therelative amount of these materials can be determined bytitrating with bases. The acid number is a measure of thisamount of acidic substance in the oil under the conditions ofthe test.5.2 Acid number of crude and distilled petroleum fractionshas been measured by Test Method D664. Test Method D

18、664was developed for the analysis of lubricants and biodiesel. Thetitration solvent used in Test Method D664 does not properlyaddress dissolving difficult samples such as crude oil, bitumen,and high wax samples addressed in this test method. Refer toAppendix X1.5.3 Test Method D974 is also not appli

Interferences6.1 Any material that reacts with potassium hydroxide willinterfere and overestimate the amount of a

20、cidic material in thesample. In crude oils, bitumens, synthetic crude oils, andsubsequent fractions, the constituents that may be consideredto have acidic characteristics include inorganic and organicacids, particularly naphthenic acids, phenolic compounds,resins, salts of heavy metals, and acid sal

21、ts of polybasic acids.7. Safety Precautions7.1 Wear chemical resistant gloves and avoid excessiveinhalation of organic vapors by working in a fume hood whenpossible. The titrant solution is corrosive and paraformalde-hyde (flammable solid) releases small quantities of formalde-hyde during depolymeri

Sampling10.1 Sampling is defined as all of the steps required toobtain an aliquot representative of the contents of any pipe,tank, or other system and to place the

33、 sample into a containerfor analysis by a laboratory or test facility. Sampling practicesare covered in Practices D4057 and D4177.D8045 16210.2 The sample should be well homogenized prior totaking an aliquot for testing. Power mixing per Practice D5854is advised for crude oils that are fluid at room

34、 temperature.Manual mixing and warming may be required for more viscoussamples.10.3 For samples that contain more than 10 % entrainedwater, it is advised to remove the water prior to testing usingindustry accepted methods. If adding toluene or other solventto aid in water removal, be sure to correct

35、 for the solventdilution in the hydrocarbon sample weight before analysis.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 If the burette has not been used within the last 12 hdispense sufficient titrant through the burette to remove airbubbles from the delivery tubing. Ensure that all of thecomponents (that is, st

36、irrer, titrant tubing, thermistor, and soforth) that are to be immersed in the titration solvent are cleanand free of acidic or basic contamination.12. Quality Control12.1 Measure a quality control sample each day a sample(s)is tested. The quality control sample should be of similarmatrix to sample

37、tested. Control charts shall be established andmaintained according to generally accepted guidelines. Prac-tice D6299 can be used for this purpose.13. Procedure13.1 Blank Determination:13.1.1 The blank value must be 0.1 mL. This is generallythe case when high purity propan-2-ol is used. The blank va

38、luecan be verified. The blank value is determined indirectly. Astable sample with a known acid number is measured usingthree or more different sample masses. The largest sample sizemust not use a volume of titrant greater than the volume of theburette.13.1.2 The volume of titrant must be 0.15 mL for

39、 allsample masses.13.1.3 The sample volume in milliliters (y-axis) is plottedversus the sample mass in grams (x-axis). Using the linearequation for the best fit line (R2value must be 0.98 or greater),extrapolate to determine the volume of titration solvent thatcorresponds to a sample size of 0.0 g.

40、See example in Fig. 1.13.1.4 If the blank value exceeds 0.1 mL, prepare freshtitration solvent, confirm the titrant concentration and repeatthe analysis. If the blank is below 0.1 mL, it is not necessary toapply a blank correction factor provided that the sample massesshown in Table 1 are used (see

41、13.2).13.2 Sample Analysis:13.2.1 Samples that are very viscous or solid at roomtemperature (that is, asphalt) shall be heated in an oven(120 C) until the material flows and sample can be stirred tohomogenize.13.2.2 For samples that do not readily dissolve in the slurry,it is permissible to pre-diss

42、olve the sample after weighing byadding in up to 10 mL of toluene or xylenes. In this case,solvent conditions shall be matched if determining the blankvalue.13.2.3 Weigh the appropriate amount of sample into thetitration beaker. Table 1 shows recommended initial samplesize based on expected acid num

43、ber value. This amount usedmay be adjusted to accommodate for solubility limitations andto conduct the blank determination. For unknowns, it is advisedto start with a 5 g sample size, and adjust sample size as neededfor subsequent measurements. The volume of titrant consumedhas to be 0.15 mL. Titran

44、t volume 0.15 mL indicates thatadditional sample is required, and 5.0 mL of titrant suggestsless sample is needed.13.2.4 When using less than the sample masses recom-mended in Table 1, due to solubility issues (that is, for asphalt,wax, and bitumen) and/or unavailability of necessary samplevolume, t

45、hen the blank value shall be determined for thesample and applied to the calculation of the acid number value.13.2.5 For samples that have been heated in an oven, thebeaker containing the sample and titration solvent (withNOTE 1The above example shows a blank calculation for a sample of crude oil wi

46、th a KOH acid number of approximately 0.9 mg g. The blank valueis equal to the value of y when x is set to a value of zero (0.039 mL in this particular example). The software can be configured to calculate the equationand slope automatically.FIG. 1 Example Blank Calculation for a Sample of Crude Oil

It isadvised to cool the sample to room temperature before testing,provided the sample remains in solution. Analysis at slightlyelevated temperatures is allowable but th

48、e rate of coolingshould be minimized. Conditions shall be matched if determin-ing the blank value. This approach can affect the precision andaccuracy of the method and is not recommended for samplesthat can be successfully analyzed without heating.13.2.6 Add titration solvent, typically 30 mL, to th

49、e titrationbeaker and place the thermistor and titrant delivery line into thesample. Stir the contents for a minimum of 30 s as rapidly aspossible without exposing the thermistor to a vortex andcausing sample or solvent loss. The sample shall be fullydissolved before titrating. Increase mixing time as needed tocompletely dissolve the sample. Samples shall stay in solutionthroughout the titration.13.2.7 Manual Paraformaldehyde AdditionAdd 0.50 g 60.10 g of paraformaldehyde per 30 mL of titration solvent tothe beaker and start the titration. It is perm
