16、rally occurring hydrocarbon mixture, generally in a liquid state, which may also include compoundsof sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, metals, and other elements.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample and a fixed mass of paraformaldehyde are dissolved in a mixture of xylenes and propan-2-ol. The mixture is
17、then titrated with potassium hydroxide using a constant rate of titrant addition. A plot of the temperature of the reaction mixtureversus the volume of titrant is generated. An exothermic reaction between the titrant and sample occurs simultaneously with theendothermic depolymerization of paraformal
18、dehyde.After all of the acidic material in the sample has reacted, the slope of the plotchanges due to the absence of the competitive exothermic acid-base reaction. The change in slope is the inflection point. Thedepolymerization of paraformaldehyde is catalytically initiated and does not consume a
19、significant quantity of potassiumhydroxide. The net change (positive or negative) in temperature prior to the consumption of the acidic sample will be dependentupon the relative magnitude of the heats of reaction and environmental influences.5. Significance and Use5.1 Crude oils and oil sands bitume
20、n contain naturally occurring acidic species. Acidity of crude oil has been implicated incorrosion of distribution and process systems. The relative amount of these materials can be determined by titrating with bases.The acid number is a measure of this amount of acidic substance in the oil under th
21、e conditions of the test.5.2 Acid number of crude and distilled petroleum fractions has been measured by Test Method D664. Test Method D664 wasdeveloped for the analysis of lubricants and biodiesel. The titration solvent used in Test Method D664 does not properly addressdissolving difficult samples
22、such as crude oil, bitumen, and high wax samples addressed in this test method. Refer to AppendixX1.5.3 Test Method D974 is also not applicable to measuring acidity of crudes and highly colored samples because the indicatoris not visible or it is difficult to discern a color change to detect the end
23、 point of the titration.6. Interferences6.1 Any material that reacts with potassium hydroxide will interfere and overestimate the amount of acidic material in thesample. In crude oils, bitumens, synthetic crude oils, and subsequent fractions, the constituents that may be considered to haveacidic cha
24、racteristics include inorganic and organic acids, particularly naphthenic acids, phenolic compounds, resins, salts of heavymetals, and acid salts of polybasic acids.7. Safety Precautions7.1 Wear chemical resistant gloves and avoid gloves. Avoid excessive inhalation of organic vapors and paraformalde

Pre-weighed paraformaldehyde packets should be substituted, ifpossible, to minimize potential exposures when preparing titration slurry solutions.

The boiling point range is typically 136 C to 140 C.9.4 Titration SolventAdd 250 mL 6 10 mL of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to 750 mL 6 10 mL of mixed xylenes.

35、r mesh is critical to successful and rapid analysis of the material. Toolarge mesh reacts slowly, resulting in erroneous results. A sample of paraformaldehyde with greater than 80 % by mass having amesh size between 100 and 200 was found suitable. Avoid moist, aged, or oxidized reagent.9.7 Benzoic a

Sampling10.1 Sampling is defined as all of the steps required t
37、o obtain an aliquot representative of the contents of any pipe, tank, or othersystem and to place the sample into a container for analysis by a laboratory or test facility. Sampling practices are covered inPractices D4057 and D4177.10.2 The sample should be well homogenized prior to taking an aliquo
38、t for testing. Power mixing per Practice D5854 is advisedfor crude oils that are fluid at room temperature. Manual mixing and warming may be required for more viscous samples.10.3 For samples that contain more than 10 % entrained water, it is advised to remove the water prior to testing using indust
39、ryaccepted methods. If adding toluene or other solvent to aid in water removal, be sure to correct for the solvent dilution in thehydrocarbon sample weight before analysis.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 If the burette has not been used within the last 12 h dispense sufficient titrant through the b
40、urette to remove air bubblesfrom the delivery tubing. Ensure that all of the components (that is, stirrer, titrant tubing, thermistor, and so forth) that are to beimmersed in the titration solvent are clean and free of acidic or basic contamination.12. Quality Control12.1 Measure a quality control s
41、ample each day a sample(s) is tested. The quality control sample should be of similar matrixto sample tested. Control charts shall be established and maintained according to generally accepted guidelines. Practice D6299can be used for this purpose.13. Procedure13.1 Blank Determination:13.1.1 The bla
42、nk value must be 0.1 mL. This is generally the case when high purity propan-2-ol is used. The blank value canbe verified. The blank value is determined indirectly. A stable sample with a known acid number is measured using three or moredifferent sample masses. The largest sample size must not use a
43、volume of titrant greater than the volume of the burette.13.1.2 The volume of titrant must be 0.15 mL for all sample masses.13.1.3 The sample volume in milliliters (y-axis) is plotted versus the sample mass in grams (x-axis). Using the linear equationfor the best fit line (R2 value must be 0.98 or g
44、reater), extrapolate to determine the volume of titration solvent that correspondsto a sample size of 0.0 g. See example in Fig. 1.13.1.4 If the blank value exceeds 0.1 mL, prepare fresh titration solvent, confirm the titrant concentration and repeat theanalysis. If the blank is below 0.1 mL, it is
45、not necessary to apply a blank correction factor provided that the sample masses shownin Table 1 are used (see 13.2).13.2 Sample Analysis:13.2.1 Samples that are very viscous or solid at room temperature (that is, asphalt) shall be heated in an oven (120 C) untilthe material flows and sample can be
46、stirred to homogenize.D8045 17313.2.2 For samples that do not readily dissolve in the slurry, it is permissible to pre-dissolve the sample after weighing by addingin up to 10 mL of toluene or xylenes. In this case, solvent conditions shall be matched if determining the blank value.13.2.3 Weigh the a
47、ppropriate amount of sample into the titration beaker. Table 1 shows recommended initial sample size basedon expected acid number value. This amount used may be adjusted to accommodate for solubility limitations and to conduct theblank determination. For unknowns, it is advised to start with a 5 g s
48、ample size, and adjust sample size as needed for subsequentmeasurements. The volume of titrant consumed has to be 0.15 mL. Titrant volume 0.15 mL indicates that additional sample isrequired, and 5.0 mL of titrant suggests less sample is needed.13.2.4 When using less than the sample masses recommende
49、d in Table 1, due to solubility issues (that is, for asphalt, wax, andbitumen) and/or unavailability of necessary sample volume, then the blank value shall be determined for the sample and appliedto the calculation of the acid number value.13.2.5 For samples that have been heated in an oven, the beaker containing the sample and titration solvent (with pre-dissolutionsolvent) may be heated (65 C) to ensure full solubility of the sample prior to the start of the titration. It is advised to cool thesample to room temperature before testing, provide
