Summary of Test Method3.1 Acrude oil distillation is performed to obtain the naphtha cut at 204 C (400 F). The distillation method was adap
9、ted fromTest Method D86 for the distillation of petroleum products. The naphtha cut is washed with caustic, repeatedly when necessary,until all hydrogen sulfide is removed. The naphtha cut, free of hydrogen sulfide, is then washed with water, repeatedly whennecessary, to remove inorganic halides (ch
10、lorides).3.2 There are two alternative test methods for determination of the organic chloride in the washed naphtha fraction, as follows.3.2.1 Test Method A, Sodium Biphenyl Reduction and PotentiometryThe washed naphtha fraction of a crude oil specimen isweighed and transferred to a separatory funne
11、l containing sodium biphenyl reagent in toluene. The reagent is an additioncompound of sodium and biphenyl in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The free radical nature of this reagent promotes very rapidconversion of the organic halogen to inorganic halide. In effect this reagent solubilizes metallic

The gas and sampleflow through a combustion tube maintained at abo
18、ut 800 C. The chlorine is converted to chloride and oxychlorides, which thenflow into a titration cell where they react with the silver ions in the titration cell. The silver ions thus consumed are coulometricallyreplaced. The total current required to replace the silver ions is a measure of the chl
19、orine present in the injected samples.3.2.3 The reaction occurring in the titration cell as chloride enters is as follows:Cl21Ag1AgCls! (1)3.2.4 The silver ion consumed in the above reaction is generated coulometrically thus:AgAg11e2 (2)3.2.5 These microequivalents of silver are equal to the number
20、of microequivalents of titratable sample ion entering the titrationcell.4. Significance and Use4.1 Usually organic Organic chlorides do not occur naturally in crude oil. When present, they result from contamination in somemanner, such as disposal of waste solvent or as use for dewaxing a chlorinated
21、 solvent used in many dewaxing pipeline or otherequipment.equipment operations.4.1.1 While an uncontaminated Uncontaminated crude oil will contain zero ppm of organic chloride, a very small amount iscapable of being handled in a refinery.no detectable organic chloride, and most refineries can handle
22、 very small amounts withoutdeleterious effects.4.1.1.1 Most trade contracts specify that no organic chloride is present in the crude oil.4.1.2 A rule of thumb used by refiners isSeveral pipelines have set specification limits at 1 mg 1 ppm kg organic chloridesin the whole crude, and 55 mg ppm kg in
23、the light naphtha, when the naphtha fraction is 20 % on the basis of the naphtha fractionbeing 20 % of the original sample.4.1.2.1 For refiners to ensure To ensure 1 mg 1 ppm kg organic chloride in the crude oil, the amount measured in the naphthafraction mustshall be 1/f 1/f (where f is the naphtha
24、 fraction calculated with Eq 3).4.1.3 Any organic halide Organic chloride present in the crude oil almost always distills (for example, methylene chloride,perchloroethylene, etc.) is usually distilled into the naphtha fraction. Some varieties can compounds break down duringfractionation but most sur
25、vive this process and produce hydrochloric acid, which has a corrosive effect. Some compounds survivefractionation and are destroyed during further refining usually during hydro-treating (desulfurization of the naphtha).4.2 Sometimes other halides have been Other halides can also be used for dewaxin
26、g crude oil; in such cases, any organic halideswill cause the same problemshave similar impact on the refining operations as the organic chlorides.4.3 Organic chloride species are potentially damaging to refinery processes. Hydrochloric acid can be produced in hydrotreatingor reforming reactors and
27、the acid accumulates in condensing regions of the refinery. Unexpected concentrations of organicchlorides cannot be effectively neutralized and damage can result. Organic chlorides are not known to be naturally present in crudeoils and usually result from cleaning operations at producing sites, pipe
28、lines, or tanks. It is important for the oil industry to havecommon methods available for the determination of organic chlorides in crude oil, particularly when transfer of custody isinvolved.5. Interferences5.1 Test Method AOther titratable halides will also give a positive response. These titratab
29、le halides include HBr and HI.5.2 Test Method BOther titratable halides will also give a positive response. These titratable halides include HBr and HI(HOBr and HOI do not precipitate silver). Since these oxyhalides do not react in the titration cell, approximately 50 %microequivalent response is de

Sampling9.1 Obtain a test unit in accordance with Practice D4057 or D4177. To preserve volatile components, which are in some
40、samples, do not uncover samples any longer than necessary. Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible, after taking frombulk supplies, to prevent loss of organic chloride or contamination due to exposure or contact with sample container.(WarningSamples that are collected at temperatures below ro
41、om temperature may undergo expansion and rupture the container.For such samples, do not fill the container to the top; leave sufficient air space above the sample to allow room for expansion.)9.2 If the test unit is not used immediately, then thoroughly mix in its container prior to taking a test sp
