The headspace gas is sampled andinjected i
18、nto either of two types of apparatus capable ofmeasuring the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the gaseoussample.3The two types of apparatus are those using thereaction of lead acetate with H2S (see Test Method D4084 orTest Method D4323) and those based on chemiluminescence(see Test Method D5504).4.
19、3 The remaining contents of the headspace vial are cooledfor 5 min, then again heated in the oven. The headspacecontents are again transferred to the hydrogen sulfide measur-ing instrument. The procedure is repeated for a third time. Thisis known as multiple headspace extraction procedure (MHE).4.4
20、Alinear plot of the natural logarithm of the area or peakheight difference of the instrument reading against the numberof injections is indicative of the correctness of the extractionprocedure. The difference in area or peak height of the first twoinjections is used to calculate a total area or tota
21、l peak heightdifference. The total area or total peak height difference ismultiplied by a response factor determined from a direct gascalibration mixture and divided by the weight of the testspecimen to determine the concentration of H2S in the residualfuel in g/g (ppmw).5. Significance and Use5.1 R
22、esidual fuel oils can contain H2S in the liquid phase,and this can result in hazardous vapor phase levels of H2Sinstorage tank headspaces. The vapor phase levels can varysignificantly according to the headspace volume, fueltemperature, and agitation. Measurement of H2S levels in theliquid phase prov
23、ides a useful indication of the residual fueloils propensity to form high vapor phase levels, and lowerlevels in the residual fuel oil will directly reduce risk of H2Sexposure. It is critical, however, that anyone involved inhandling fuel oil, such as vessel owners and operators, continueto maintain
24、 appropriate safety practices designed to protect thecrew, tank farm operators and others who can be exposed toH2S.5.1.1 The measurement of H2S in the liquid phase isappropriate for product quality control, while the measurementof H2S in the vapor phase is appropriate for health and safetypurposes.5
25、.2 This test method was developed so refiners, fuel termi-nal operators and independent testing laboratory personnel cananalytically measure the amount of H2S in the liquid phase ofresidual fuel oils.NOTE 1Test Method D6021 is one of three test methods forquantitatively measuring H2S in residual fue
26、ls:1) Test Method D5705 is a simple field test method for determining H2Slevels in the vapor phase.2) Test Method D7621 is a rapid test method to determine H2S levels inthe liquid phase.5.3 H2S concentrations in the liquid and vapor phase at-tempt to reach equilibrium in a static system. However, th
27、isequilibrium and the related liquid and vapor concentrations canvary greatly depending on temperature and the chemicalcomposition of the liquid phase. A concentration of 1 mg/kg(g/g) (ppmw) of H2S in the liquid phase of a residual fuel cantypically generate an actual gas concentration of50 LL(ppmv)
28、 to 100 L/L(ppmv) of H2S in the vaporphase, but the equilibrium of the vapor phase is disrupted themoment a vent or access point is opened to collect a sample.NOTE 2Because of the reactivity, absorptivity, and volatility of H2Sany measurement method only provides an H2S concentration at a givenmomen
