8、ISO 4259 : 1992 + Corr 1 : 1993)3 PrincipleA sample is injected into a stream of carrier gas composed of an inert gas or a mixture of an inert gas and oxygen, evaporated and conveyed into a high-temperature zone where the bound nitrogen reacts with oxy-gen to form nitrogen monoxide (NO). Reaction wi
9、th ozone converts the latter into excited nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which emits light that can be detected by a photomultiplier. The resultant signal is a measure of the nitrogen content of the sample.4 DesignationDesignation of the method of determining bound nitrogen by chemiluminescence:Test DIN 51
10、444Page 2DIN 51444 : 2003-115 Apparatus5.1 Test assemblyThe test assembly shall be as shown schematically in gure 1. It is to be made up of the following.5.1.1 Furnace, capable of maintaining a temperature sufcient to evaporate the entire sample material and oxidize the bound nitrogen to form nitrog
11、en monoxide. The furnace temperature is to be specied by the manufacturer.5.1.2 Quartz combustion tube, for evaporating or pyrolysing the sample in a carrier gas and burning it with oxygen in a zone large enough to completely oxidize the sample. The tube inlet shall be sealed (e.g. with a septum). O
12、ther combustion tubes may be used if this does not adversely affect the precision of the method.Figure 1: Test assembly (schematic)5.1.3 Dryer, for drying the reaction products prior to the analysis using a chemical desiccant, permeation drying or a combination of both, since water vapour damages th

20、in the vicinity of the furnace.8 Sample handlingSamples shall be analysed as soon as possible after collection to prevent falsication due to the evaporation of volatile components or contamination due to contact with the environment.9 Preparation of apparatusGas ow rates and combustion temperatures
21、for the chosen working conditions shall be selected in accor-dance with the equipment manufacturers instructions. The temperature in the inlet zone will depend on the sample application method (see subclause 5.1.7 or 5.1.8) or on the type of furnace used (see subclause 5.1.1).10 CalibrationThe test
22、equipment shall be calibrated for a total of three measuring ranges using the following calibration solutions of known nitrogen contents and prepared by adding appropriate amounts of carbazole or pyridine:a) ve calibration solutions containing 0,3, 1, 2, 3 and 5 mg/kg of nitrogen for a range of 0,3
23、mg/kg to 5 mg/kg;b) ve calibration solutions containing 5, 7, 10, 30 and 50 mg/kg of nitrogen for a range of 5 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg;c) ve calibration solutions containing 50, 70, 150, 250 and 300 mg/kg of nitrogen for a range of 50 mg/kg to 300 mg/kg.Carry out the analysis in triplicate for each of the
24、 chosen calibration solutions using a volume equal to that of the sample, and calculate the mean. Derive the calibration equation by linear regression of the results obtained. Check the calibration daily and if the concentration ranges are altered.11 Procedure11.1 Sample volumeAlthough volumes of 3
25、l to 40 l have been found suitable, the optimum volume injected will depend on the nitrogen content of the particular sample and the equipment used. This also applies to the calibration de- scribed in clause 10. Examples providing guidance to recommended sample volumes are given in table 1.Table 1:
26、Recommended sample volumesNitrogen content, in mg/kg Sample volume, in l0,3 to 1 Up to 4010 Up to 8100 Up to 8300 Up to 4For contents greater than 300 mg/kg, dilute as appropriate.11.2 Sample injectionInject the sample using an appropriate microlitre syringe, rinsing the syringe several times with s
27、ample before-hand.Page 4DIN 51444 : 2003-1111.3 Injection speedSince the injection speed is a function of the type of equipment used, the viscosity of sample and the nitrogen concentration, choose the speed in accordance with the equipment manufacturers instructions.11.4 AnalysisAnalyse the sample a
28、s described in subclauses 11.1 to 11.3, taking the mean of three measurements.11.5 Checking the measurementCheck the measurement made as specied in subclause 11.4 using one or more reference samples for the particular measuring range. As the reference, choose a sample from the sample spectrum to be
29、analysed that has a nitrogen content, known to be stable, at the upper end of the calibration range concerned. If the result of the check differs by more than ten percent from the specied value, check the equipment and repeat the calibration.12 EvaluationDetermine the nitrogen content of the sample
30、from the measured result using the calibration graph (see clause 10), taking account of the sample volume and allowing for any prior dilution (cf. clause 1).13 Expression of resultsRefer to this standard and report the content of bound nitrogen, in mg/kg, to an accuracy of 0,1 mg/kg for a range of 0
31、,3 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg and to an accuracy of 1 mg/kg for contents greater than 50 mg/kg.EXAMPLE:Nitrogen content: 100 mg/kgTest DIN 51444 100 mg/kg14 PrecisionSee DIN EN ISO 4259.14.1 Repeatability limit(same operator, same equipment)If two results are obtained under repeatability conditions, both res
