This Section of BS 6829 supersedes BS 6829-3.1:1987 which is withdrawn. The princip
9、al difference between this Section of BS 6829 and the 1987 edition is that attention is drawn to the fact that minor cyclic derivatives and branched-chain alkylbenzenes present are not taken into account in the calculation. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been
10、 approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is curr
11、ent practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. The symbol “l” has been used to denote litre (and in its submultiples). In British Standards it is current practice to use the symbol “L”. In British Standards it is current practice to use the spelling “sulphur”, etc., instead
12、of “sulfur”, etc. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “Section of BS 6829”. Cross-reference Additional information. With reference to clause 4, water complying with grade 3 of BS 3978 “Specification for water for laboratory use” is s
13、uitable. With reference to 4.1, the acid required is orthophosphoric acid. This Section describes a method of test only and should not be used or quoted as a specification defining limits of purity. Reference to this Section should indicate that the method of test used is in accordance with BS 6829-

17、an relative molecular mass of the substance. An accurate and rapid method consists of determining by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) the mean relative molecular mass of the alkylbenzene used to manufacture the monosulfonated products; the relative molecular mass of the respective monosulfonate or mo
18、nosulfonic acid can then be calculated by adding the relative molecular mass of the SO 3 Na group minus Na, or that of the SO 3 H group minus H. The GLC technique is only applicable to straight-chain alkylbenzenes, since branched-chain types will give chromatograms from which it is impossible to ide
19、ntify and to calculate the relative molecular mass for individual chains. NOTEAny ortho-fused polycyclic hydrocarbon derivatives of low relative molecular mass present, such as indan, and tetrahydronaphthalene, as well as branched-chain alkylbenzenes, are not taken into account in the calculation of
20、 the relative molecular mass of the technical straight-chain sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate analysed. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) method for the determination of the mean relative molecular mass of technical straight-chain sodium alkylbenzenesulfonat

24、benzenesulfonate. 4 Reagents and materials During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Phosphoric acid, solution, 85 % (m/m). 4.2 Light petroleum, free from aromatic compounds, distilling between40and60 C. 4.3 Sodi
25、um sulfate, anhydrous. 4.4 Sodium hydroxide, 160 g/l solution. 4.5 Reference alkylbenzene: mixture of alkylbenzenes of known chain lengths, for example from C 15to C 21(phenyl group included). A product of known composition can be adopted as reference sample. This reference sample cannot be used for
26、 identification purposes but only for checking the proper performance of the chromatograph. 4.6 Carrier gas: nitrogen, helium, argon or hydrogen. 4.7 Acetone (if necessary). 5 Apparatus Usual laboratory equipment, and 5.1 Combustion tube, one end closed, of diameter12mm and length120mm. (Ready-made
27、tubes are available on the market.) 5.2 Test tubes, of similar dimensions to the combustion tube (5.1), fitted with a ground glass stopper. 5.3 Metallic safety tube, capable of accommodating the sealed combustion tube (5.1). It contains a cushioning disc (see the note) to prevent breakage of the com
28、bustion tube and is fitted with a screw cap (see Figure 1). NOTETo obtain the best cushioning effect, the disc should preferably be made of silicone rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene, although silicone rubber discs, of thickness3mm, are suitable. The use of polytetrafluoroethylene discs is not advi

30、an apolar stationary phase for high temperatures (for example, a dimethylsiloxane type, such as siliconeOV 101), preconditioned at the test temperature; or a packed column, of length 1 to6m, provided that the chromatogram peaks are sufficiently well separated. 5.5.2 Flame ionization detectorBS6829-3

32、 the, nearest 1 mg, into the combustion tube (5.1), 50 to 100 mg of the laboratory sample. 7.2 Desulfonation Add 2 ml of the phosphoric acid solution (4.1) to the combustion tube containing the test portion and seal the tube carefully using an oxygen/gas or oxygen/air flame. NOTEThe combustion tube
33、should be thoroughly sealed, with minimal reduction of wall thickness to avoid breakage during desulfonation. This is best done by slowly rotating the tube and heating it using an oxygen/gas or oxygen/air flame. As soon as the glass is sufficiently soft, gentle pressure should be applied to each end
34、 of the tube so as to thicken the wall. The ends of the tube are then pulled to obtain a capillary tube and it is finally sealed at point A (see Figure 2). Place the sealed tube in the safety tube (5.3) on the cushioning disc and close the safety tube with its screw cap. Place the safety tube for ap
35、proximately 15 min in the heating device (5.4), controlled at approximately250 C. Remove the safety tube, cool it in running water and remove the sealed combustion tube. Open the combustion tube and transfer its contents to one of the test tubes (5.2). Rinse the combustion tube with 2 ml of the ligh
36、t petroleum (4.2) and transfer the washings to the test tube. Stopper the test tube and shake it. Allow to settle and, using the Pasteur pipette (5.7), transfer the light petroleum layer to a second test tube (5.2). Add a further 2 ml of the light petroleum (4.2) to the first test tube, stopper it,
37、shake and allow to settle. Transfer, using the Pasteur pipette, the light petroleum layer to the second test tube. Add 1 ml of the sodium hydroxide solution (4.4) to the combined light petroleum extracts, stopper the test tube, shake it and allow to settle. Using the Pasteur pipette, transfer the li
38、ght petroleum layer to a third test tube (5.2). Wash the light petroleum extract three times more with 1 ml portions of the sodium hydroxide solution, rejecting the aqueous layer after each washing. Add approximately 1 g of the anhydrous sodium sulfate (4.3) to the light petroleum extract, stopper t
39、he test tube and shake. Transfer the light petroleum extract to another of the test tubes (5.2) and evaporate off most of the light petroleum by gently heating in a water bath controlled at 60 to 70 C. 7.3 Chromatographic analysis The following conditions are given as examples and have been found to
40、 be suitable. 7.3.1 Chromatograph settings 7.3.1.1 Injection Temperature greater than 210 C. 7.3.1.2 Column a) Isothermal conditions Temperature between 170 and 200 C according to the nature of the sample. b) Programmed conditions Initial temperature between 140 and 170 C, raised at a rate of 0,5 to
41、 2 C/min to the final temperature between 180 and210 C. 7.3.1.3 Carrier gas Flow rate between 0,3 and 40 ml/min according to the type and diameter of the column. 7.3.1.4 Detector conditions Temperature greater than 210 C 7.3.2 Instrument performance check Inject into the chromatograph sufficient of
42、the reference alkylbenzene (4.5) to give a chromatogram which exhibits all the anticipated peaks.

43、re of 1 volume of the alkylbenzene extract(7.2) and 1 volume of acetone (4.7). If the packed column (5.5.1) is used, the alkylbenzene extract shall, if possible, be used directly, or otherwise diluted with the acetone up to 1 + 1. 7.3.3.2 Introduction of the test portion By means of the syringe (5.6
44、), inject into the chromatograph sufficient of the solution (7.3.1.1) to obtain a suitable chromatogram.
