Significance and Use5.1 Phenolic compounds are sometimes found in surfacewaters from natural and industrial sources. Chlorination ofsuch waters may produce odoriferous, objectionable tastingchlorophe
17、nols. These compounds may include o-chlorophenol,p-chlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, and 2,4-dichlorophenol.56. Interferences6.1 Particulate MatterParticulate or suspended mattermay, unless very finely subdivided, plug the needle used forsample injection. Such matter may be removed by centrifuga-tio
18、n or filtration, provided it is ascertained that compounds ofinterest are not removed also. A colloid mill may be used, ifnecessary, to prepare a colloidal solution or suspension suitablefor injection. Particulate matter may serve as condensationnuclei for samples; acid treatment may often dissolve
19、suchinterfering solids.6.2 Nonphenolic OrganicsCompounds which have thesame retention value as the phenolic compounds will interferewith the test. Such compounds may be eliminated by a suitablepreliminary separation technique.NOTE 1Refer to Test Methods D1783.6.3 Alkaline CompoundsUnder strongly alk
20、aline condi-tions, some chlorophenols may form salts which reduce theirvolatility in the test. Also, some nonphenolic organics, forexample, tar bases, may be more volatile in basic solution.Simple pH adjustment to near neutral or slightly acid willeliminate these interferences.6.4 GhostsElimination
21、of ghosts or memory peaks isrequisite before chromatographic analyses are possible. In thistest method, ghosts are minimized or eliminated by injecting 3L of water between all sample injections. This water washusually clears the injection port, column, and detector ofartifacts; however, repeated was
22、h injections may be necessaryto clear the system. The electrometer should be set at maximumsensitivity during the wash injections to facilitate detection ofghosts.NOTE 2Glass injector inserts are recommended. Inserts are easy toclean or replace and minimize clean-up difficulties.6.5 Other Interferen
23、cesIt is beyond the scope of this testmethod to describe procedures for eliminating all possibleinterferences which might occur, particularly with highlycontaminated industrial waste water.6In addition, the chro-matographic resolution of this test method is insufficient todifferentiate among some is
24、omeric alkyl phenols.7. Apparatus7.1 Chromatographic ColumnsColumns may be pur-chased or prepared by the analyst. Variations of columnloading, length, diameter, support size, treatment, etc., arepossible. Any column, for example, packed, wide bore (mega-bore) open tubular, analytical capillary, etc.
25、, may be used if itis shown to give precision and bias comparable to thoseobtained in the interlaboratory study of this test method. Thethree columns cited in this procedure may be modified with theunderstanding that the elution time and sensitivity may bealtered.7.1.1 Carbowax 20-M7A 3-mm by 3-m (1

Sampling9.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practices D3370.9.2 Because of the possibility of oxidation or bacterialdecomposition of phenols in the sample, the
40、lapse of timebefore analyses should be kept to a minimum. In addition, keepthe sample cool and protected from atmospheric oxygen.10. Preparation of Chromatograph10.1 Install the packed column in the chromatograph usingsuitable fittings. The use of antigalling thread lubricant isadvisable.10.2 Conduc
41、t a leak test at approximately 103 kPa (15 psi)above the operating pressure by shutting off the downstreamend of the system and pressurizing from the carrier gas supply.Shut off the cylinder valve and observe the pressure gage. If nodrop is noted in 10 to 15 min, the system may be consideredtight. A
42、queous soap solutions may be used to locate minorleaks but this should be done with caution. If soap solutionenters the system, it may prove difficult to eliminate extraneouspeaks or stabilize the system. Do not use the soap method forleak testing near the ionization detector.10.3 Column Conditionin

Exercise caution to avoid exceeding the maximum allow-able temperature for both the packing and substrate.10.3.2 Disconnect the column at the end near the detectorbase to avoid d

45、the flameionization detector.10.3.6 Adjust the hydrogen flow to the detector to about 25mL/min for a 3-mm (18-in.) diameter column. Adjust the airflow as specified in the instrument being used. Ignite thedetector.10.3.7 Adjust the column temperature to the desired level.10.3.8 Adjust the carrier gas
46、 flow rate to 20 to 40 mL/min.10.3.9 Observe the recorder base line. When a base line driftis no longer apparent, the column is ready for use.10.3.10 When the series of analyses are completed and thecolumn is to be moved and stored, it is advisable to seal or capthe ends.11.
