1、Designation: D 3328 06Standard Test Methods forComparison of Waterborne Petroleum Oils by GasChromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3328; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of las
2、t revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the comparison of petroleumoils recovered from water or beaches with oils from suspectsources by
3、 means of gas chromatography (1, 2, 3).2Such oilsinclude distillate fuel, lubricating oil, and crude oil. The testmethod described is for capillary column analyses using eithersingle detection (flame ionization) or dual detection (flameionization and flame photometric) for sulfur containing spe-cies
4、.1.2 This test method provides high resolution for criticalexamination of fine structure that is resistant to weathering.The flame-photometric detection for sulfur components is anadjunct, not a substitute, for flame-ionization detection in theidentification of waterborne petroleum oils (4-12). For
5、thisreason, flame photometric detection is optional.1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulator

9、 of a recovered oil is determined by com-parison with known oils, selected because of their possiblerelationship to the particular recovered oil. The known oils arecollected from suspected sources. Samples of such known oilsmust be collected and submitted along with the unknown foranalysis.At presen
10、t, identification of the source of an unknownoil by itself cannot be made (for example, from a library ofknown oils).4.2 The use of a flame-photometric detector in addition tothe flame-ionization detector provides a second, independentprofile of the same oil, that is, significantly more information

The analyses described will distinguishmany, but not all samples. For cases in which this method doesnot
12、clearly identify a pair of samples, and for important caseswhere additional comparisons are needed to strengthen con-clusions, other analyses will be required (refer to PracticeD 3415). In particular, Practice D 5739 is useful for such cases.5. Interferences5.1 Compounds that have the same retention

23、 the sample is not to be analyzed within 1 week, itshould be preserved in accordance with Practice D 3325because of the possibility of bacterial decomposition of normalparaffins in the sample.8.3 The sample should be prepared for analysis in accor-dance with Practices D 3326, because of the great va
24、riety ofmaterials and circumstances associated with collecting petro-leum oils from the environment. For heavier oils, a procedureto deasphalt the oil may be necessary.9. Summary of Test Method9.1 This test method uses a gas chromatographic capillarycolumn system for the separation of petroleum hydr
25、ocarbons.The effluent of the column may be detected with a flame-ionization detector, or it may be split (1 + 2) between a flameionization and a flame-photometric detector. The flame photo-metric detector is equipped with a narrow bandpass interfer-ence filter for spectral isolation of the sulfur em
26、ission at 394nm. The relative peak size of each component (as indicated byretention time) of recovered oil is compared visually with therelative peak size of each component (of like retention time) ofthe suspected source.NOTE 2This duel detector method is based on the early work done byKahn (13), Ga
27、rza (4), and Adlard (7).9.2 In this test method, elution of characteristic hydrocar-bons occurs generally in order of increasing boiling point.10.

29、of being programmed from75C to at least 325C for heavier oils (higher boiling thangasolines, jet fuels, etc.).10.2.1 For light distillate fuels, the chromatograph must becapable of programming from 50C and also be capable ofmaintaining isothermal control at 50C.10.2.2 Carrier Gas Pressure Regulator

31、 hydrogen-flame ionization detector isalways used for analyses. A flame-photometric detector with a394 nm bandpass filter is used for dual detection (9, 10, 11, 12).10.2.5 Carrier Gas Makeup is required at the effluent of thecolumn with a temperature independent mass flow controller.10.2.6 Effluent

If there are no peaks in the chromatogram andthere is minimal baseline shift at high temperatures, then thecolumn is ready for use; otherwise,

When the column is to bereused, even after conditioning, it is always necessary to cyclethrough the temperature program to remove any accumulatedvolatile

Usecyclohexane for FID optimization and thiophene for the FDPoptimization.12. Operating Conditions for Analysis (Notes 6-8)NOTE 6One
44、of the problems frequently encountered with the flamephotometric detector is “flameout” when large amounts of solvent areinjected with the sample. The recommended sample preparation procedureavoids this problem at the same time that it permits the use of smallsamples. For those who may encounter thi
45、s problem, a simple modifica-tion has been suggested (8) which consists of reversing the hydrogen gasand air/oxygen gas inlets to the detector.NOTE 7For oil identification under the recommended procedure, airhas been found satisfactory for combustion for the FPD, that is, oxygen isnot necessary.NOTE
46、 8See the manufacturers manual for maintenance informationfor the FPD.
