22、ion of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987). ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents Methods of sample division. 3 Principle A specified mass of sample is dissolved and then m

23、ade up to standard volume with methanol. For sulfonic acids only, the sample is neutralized with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution prior to the dissolution. The solution is then analysed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). An octadecylsilane bonded stationary phase, me

24、thanol/water mobile phase, differential refractometer detector and external means of quantification are employed. A back flush technique is used to “focus” the non-ionic components after all the active matter components and water have eluted from the column. 4 Reagents During the analysis, only use

25、reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 3 as defined in EN ISO 3696. 4.1 Methanol, CH 4 O HPLC grade. 4.2 Sodium hydroxide NaOH c(NaOH) = 1 mol/l solution. 4.3 Phenolphthalein indicator, ethanolic solution, C 20 H 14 O 4 , w(C 20 H 14 O 4 ) = 0,1 g/100 g. 4.4 Calibrati

26、on substances, based on the feedstock from which the surface active agent/sulfonic acid has been produced, e.g.: parent linear alkyl benzene (LAB) for alkyl benzene sulfonates; parent alcohols for alcohol sulfates; parent alcohol ethoxylates for alcohol ethoxy sulfates. 5 Apparatus Ordinary laborato

27、ry apparatus and the following. 5.1 High performance liquid chromatograph, suitable for analysis according to the conditions given in 6.3.Page 5 EN 13273:2001 BSI 06-2001 5.2 Data logger/plotter giving the chromatographic peak areas. 5.3 Burette, capacity 10 ml with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) key

28、, never lubricated with stopcock grease. 5.4 Syringe, capacity 1 ml with “Luer” fitting. 5.5 Needle with “Luer” fitting to suit sample injection valve, or use an automated injector. 5.6 Syringe filter or membrane suitable for use with methanol, 0,45 m, with “Luer” fittings. 6 Calibration 6.1 General

29、 Always wash glassware thoroughly with water and then acetone (propan-2-one). Dry thoroughly. 6.2 Determination of the optimum backflush time Prepare and analyse the appropriate calibration substance (4.4) according to clause 7, but keep the backflush valve in position 1 (see Figure A.1) throughout

30、the complete analysis. The chromatogram of the calibration substance alkyl ether sulfate, type 2, used in the ring test is shown in Figure B.1. Note the elution time just before the first peak of the calibration substance appears. This is the backflush valve switching time. The above valve switching

31、 time needs only be determined if the method is being set up or if it becomes apparent that the retention times have changed during routine use. 6.3 Determination of response factors Determine the response factors for each type of the surface active agents as follows. Prepare a calibration solution

32、by weighing (0,15 0,02) g of the calibration substance (4.4) to the nearest 0,1 mg into a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dissolve with methanol (4.1) and make up to volume. Load the syringe (5.4) with 1 ml of the calibration solution and mount a new syringe filter fitted with the needle (5.5). Use the fol

33、lowing conditions: Column: Type HPLC column with appropriate fittings. A radial compression type is suitable if used with appropriate conditions. Length internal diameter Dimensions which enable results similar to the chromatograms in annex B. For a radial compression column, 100 mm 8 mm is suitable

34、. For conventional columns, 250 mm 4,6 mm is suitable. Stationary phase Octadecylsilyl bonded micro-particulate silica of mean particle size not more than 5 m. This should be of the completely-end-capped or deactivated type.Page 6 EN 13273:2001 BSI 06-2001 Mobile Phase: Composition A mixture of meth

35、anol and water capable of use with the chosen HPLC column so as to give results similar to the examples in annex B. A mixture of methanol : water of 85:15 parts by volume can be suitable Flow rate 1 ml/min to 2 ml/min to the nearest 0,01 ml/min. Detector: Type Differential refractometer Sensitivity

36、A setting which gives a display of peak sizes such that deviations from normal appearance can be readily seen. Temperatures: Column 30,0 C NOTE Thermostatting of the column gives improved stability, but the method can be used with the column at ambient temperatures. Detector 40,0 C Injection system:

37、 High pressure syringe-loading injection valve or a suitable automated injector, fitted with an injection loop of appropriate volume, for example 50 l. Backflush valve: A 6 port high pressure switching valve for HPLC, fitted with a very low volume by-pass loop. Valve positioning: Position 1 at the b

38、eginning of the analysis. Switch to position 2 at time A (see Figures A.1 and B.1) Switch to position 1 on completion of the analysis (typical analysis time: 20 min). Run the chromatograph in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. When injecting the blend ensure the sample loop is completel

39、y flushed by dispensing the total syringe volume taking care not to introduce any air bubbles. An example chromatogram is given in Figure B.1. NOTE The calibration peak elutes at a run time twice that of the backflush valve switch time. This time can vary depending on the sample type and is derived

40、in 6.2. The response factor, F, is calculated using the equation (1): c c A m F (1) where: m c is the mass of the calibration substance used, in grams; A cis the area of the calibration peak, in arbitrary units.Page 7 EN 13273:2001 BSI 06-2001 7 Sampling and preparation of the test sample Sample the

41、 material to be tested in accordance with ISO 607. 8 Procedure 8.1 Determine the optimum backflush time from the calibration carried out in 6.2. 8.2 Weigh (1 0,1) g of the sample to the nearest 0,1 mg into a 25 ml volumetric flask. 8.3 For sulfonic acids only, add one drop of phenolphthalein indicat

42、or (4.3) and then add 2,00 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (4.2). Swirl to dissolve. When completely dissolved, titrate dropwise with sodium hydroxide solution (4.2) to the end point characterized by faint pink colour (total titrant addition typically about 3,2 ml). For the other surface active agen

43、ts, continue to 8.4. Use a burette (5.3). 8.4 Dissolve and make up to volume with methanol (4.1). Allow to stand for a short time such that any precipitate formed settles to the bottom of the flask. 8.5 Load the syringe (5.4) with 1 ml of supernatant from the sample solution. Mount a new syringe fil

44、ter or membrane (5.6). Use this to deliver a filtered sample portion for use in the analysis. Where possible, this should be done by direct delivery into the injection valve, via the needle (5.5). 8.6 Analyse the sample according to the conditions given in 6.3. When injecting the sample ensure the s

45、ample loop is completely flushed by dispensing the total syringe volume taking care not to introduce any air bubbles. NOTE 1 An example chromatogram is given in Figure B.2 and Figure B.4. If the valve was not used, a chromatogram as shown in Figure B.3 should result. NOTE 2 The operation of the back

46、flush valve should be automated. 9 Calculation and expression of results The content of non-ionic substances w NISof the sample expressed in grams per 100 g is calculated using the equation (2): 4 100 s s NIS m F A w (2) where: A sis the area of the peak of non-ionic substances, as used for A c(see

47、6.3) in arbitrary units; F is the response factor of the calibration solution (6.3); m s is the mass of the sample (8.2) in grams. Report the result to the nearest 0,001 g/100 g.Page 8 EN 13273:2001 BSI 06-2001 10 Precision 10.1 Repeatability limit The absolute difference between two independent sin
