Summary of Test Met
6、hod3.1 In this test method, a representative sample of acryloni-trile is introduced in a gas chromatograph equipped with aflame ionization detector and a capillary column where specificimpurities are separated from the acrylonitrile. The chromato-graphic area for each impurity is compared to the are
7、a of theinternal standard, toluene or other suitable known, added to thesample. From response factors of these impurities relative tothat of the internal standard and the amount of the standardadded, the concentration of the impurities are calculated. Otherimpurities, such as water, are obtained by
8、use of Test MethodsE 1178. The acrylonitrile content is obtained by subtracting thetotal amount of all impurities from 100.0.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to obtain acrylonitrilepurity on the basis of impurities normally present in acryloni-trile and may be useful for final
9、 product inspection and processcontrol.4.2 This test method will measure the following impurities:acetone, acrolein, acetonitrile, and acetaldehyde. It also willallow calibration of other impurities including benzene, meth-acrylonitrile, oxazole, propionitrile, cis-crotononitrile, trans-crotononitri
10、le, and others where specific impurity standards areavailable.5.

With a microsyringe add10 L of toluene. Mix well. Add synthetic mixture to the markand again mix well. If
25、 toluene is used as the internal standard,using a density of 0.867 for toluene and 0.806 for acrylonitrile,this solution will contain 0.011 mass % toluene.8.2 Inject an appropriate amount of sample into the chro-matograph and obtain a chromatogram.

Precision and Bias12.1 The following criteria should be used for judging theacceptabilit
36、y of results for impurities (see Note 3):12.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The coefficient ofvariation for a single determination has been estimated to be5.8 % relative at 128 df. The 95 % limit for the differencebetween two such runs is 16 % relative.12.1.2 Laboratory Precision (Within-Laborator
37、y, Between-Days Variability)The coefficient of variation of results (eachthe average of duplicates), obtained by the same analyst ondifferent days, has been estimated to be 4.2 % relative at 64 df.The 95 % limit for the difference between two such averages is12 % relative.12.1.3 Reproducibility (Mul
38、tilaboratory)The coefficientof variation of results, each the average of duplicates, obtainedby analysts in different laboratories, has been estimated to be9.4 % relative at 5 df. The 95 % limit for the differencebetween two such averages is 26 % relative.NOTE 3The above precision estimates are base
39、d on an interlaboratorystudy of analyses performed in 1988 on two samples of acrylonitrilecontaining approximately 18 and 82 mg/kg acetone, 164 and 443 mg/kgacetonitrile, 10 and 74 mg/kg benzene, 134 mg/kg cis-crotononitrile, 68mg/kg trans-crotononitrile, 81 and 198 mg/kg methacrylonitrile, and 60an

One analyst in each of six laboratories performedduplicate determinations and repeated one day later, for a total of 48determinations for each impurity.
