Significance and Use4.1 The experimental procedures and physical constantsprovided by this test method, when used in conjunction withTest Method D 1015, allow the determination of the purity ofthe material under test. A
20、 knowledge of the purity of thesehydrocarbons is often needed to help control their manufactureand to determine their suitability for use as reagent chemicalsor for conversion to other chemical intermediates or finishedproducts.5. Apparatus5.1 Sampling Apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1, for withdraw-ing
21、 liquefied gases (for example, 1,3-butadiene) from pressurestorage cylinders.5.2 Distilling Apparatus, as shown in Fig. 2, for removingsmall amounts of polymer from low-boiling compounds (forexample, 1,3-butadiene) by simple distillation at atmosphericpressure.5.3 Distilling Apparatus, as shown in F
22、ig. 3, for removingsmall amounts of polymer from compounds with boiling pointsnear room temperature (for example, isoprene) by distillationat atmospheric pressure.5.4 Vacuum Distilling Apparatus and Transfer Trap,asshown in Fig. 4, for removing dissolved air and large amountsof polymer from a compou
23、nd (for example, 1,3-butadiene orstyrene), by repeated freezing and evacuation, followed bydistillation of the compound in vacuum in a closed system.6. Materials6.1 Carbon Dioxide RefrigerantSolid carbon dioxide in asuitable liquid. (WarningExtremely cold (78.5C). Liber-ates heavy gas which can caus
24、e suffocation. Contact with skincauses burns or freezing, or both. Vapors can react violentlywith hot magnesium or aluminum alloys.) Acetone isrecommended.(WarningExtremely flammable. Harmful ifinhaled. High concentrations can cause unconsciousness ordeath. Contact can cause skin irritation and derm
25、atitis. Userefrigerant bath only with adequate ventilation!)6.2 Liquid Nitrogen or Liquid Air(WarningExtremelycold. Liberates gas which can cause suffocation. Contact withskin causes burns or freezing, or both. Vapors can reactviolently with hot magnesium or aluminum alloys.) For use asa refrigerant
26、. If obtainable, liquid nitrogen is preferable be-cause of its safety.6.2.1 Use liquid nitrogen refrigerant only with adequateventilation. If liquid air is used as a refrigerant, it is imperativethat any glass vessel containing hydrocarbon or other combus-tible compound and immersed in liquid air be
27、 protected with asuitable metal shield. The mixing of a hydrocarbon or othercombustible compound with liquid air due to the breaking of aglass container would almost certainly result in a violentexplosion. If liquid nitrogen is used as a refrigerant, nohydrocarbon sample should ever be permitted to
28、cool below thecondensation temperature of oxygen (183C at atm). Thiswould not be likely to occur in normal operation, but mightoccur if the apparatus were left unattended for some time.7. Procedure7.1 Measure the freezing point as described in Test MethodD 1015, using the modifications and constants
29、 given in Sec-tions 8-26 of this test method for the specific compounds beingexamined.NOTE 2The estimated uncertainty in the calculated value of the purityas referred to in Sections 8-26 is not equivalent to the precision defined inRR: D02-1007.8. n-Butane6(WarningExtremely flammable liquefiedgas un

Attach to C an absorptiontube containing anhydrous calcium sulfate or other suitabledesiccant (except magnesium perchlorate) so that water is notintroduced into the system (Note 3). Fill the flask F with thecarbon dioxide refrigerant to within about 51 mm (2 in.) of the
33、top. After about 20 or 30 min, when the system will havecooled sufficiently, remove the absorption tube and begin thecollection of liquid n-butane by opening the valve K andadjusting the needle valve J so that the sample is collected ata rate of 1 to 2 mL (liquid)/min in the condensing tube E.NOTE 3
34、However, if some water does condense with the hydrocarbon,6For further details, see Glasgow, A.

Place the cool-ing bath in position around the freezing tube (O in Fig. 1 ofTest Method D 1015), letting the t
36、emperature as read on theplatinum thermometer reach about 80C when all the samplehas been collected.8.4 When 50 mL of liquid (temperature about 80C) hasbeen collected in the condensing tube, close the valve K (Fig.1) and allow the liquid which has collected at I to warm andtransfer to the condensing
37、 tube (Note 4). Replace the attachingtubes G and D on the condensing tube by caps. The liquidsample is now ready for introduction into the freezing tube (Oin Fig. 1 of Test Method D 1015).NOTE 4In case the original sample contained water, there will remainat I some water that may be discarded after
38、the hydrocarbon portion hasbeen collected as outlined above.8.5 When the temperature of the platinum thermometer isnear 80C, remove the condensing tube (E in Fig. 1) from theDewar flask. Wrap a cloth around the upper portion of thecondensing tube (for ease of handling and for preventing therefrigera
