BS EN ISO 6326-3 retains the secondary identifier BS3156-11.4.3, so that it remains cross-referenced within the BS3156 series of standards. Each Subsection of Section11.4 of BS3156 is identical with the corresponding
10、Part of ISO6326, and Section11.4 of BS3156 consists of the following Subsections: In the United Kingdom the preferred method is that given in Subsection11.4.4 of BS3156. The flame photometric detector is available from most manufacturers of chromatographs, both laboratory and process units, and is a
11、pplicable to any sulfur compound. By contrast, the electrochemical detector is available from a single supplier and is operated under completely different conditions in order to measure carbonyl sulfide, to those used for all other sulfur compounds. A British Standard does not purport to include all
12、 the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

25、 and the United Kingdom.ISO6326-3:1989(E) BSI 04-1999 3 1 Scope This part of ISO 6326 specifies a potentiometric method for the determination of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptan sulfur, and carbonyl sulfide sulfur in natural gas in the concentration range equal to or above1mg/m 3 . The gas must be free o
26、f dust, mist, oxygen, hydrogen cyanide and carbon disulfide. The hydrogen sulfide/mercaptan sulfur ratio and also the mercaptan sulfur/hydrogen sulfide ratio should not exceed50 : 1. The method is not recommended for gases containing more than approximately1,5% (V/V) carbon dioxide. NOTEIn all parts
27、 of ISO6326,1m 3of gas is expressed at normal conditions (0C;101,325kPa). 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO6326. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standar
28、ds are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO6326 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below.

30、lfide in a5% (m/m) ethanoholic monoethanolamine solution. The solutions are titrated potentiometrically using silver nitrate solutions with a silver/silver sulfide electrode system to indicate the end point. 4 Reagents and materials During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical gra
31、de and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Potassium hydroxide, solution. Dissolve 35 g of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in65g of water. NOTEIn order to prevent interference by heavy metal ions,0,5g of a mixture of polyaminoacetic acids is added for each50ml of absorption solution to
32、 inactivate the heavy metal ions. The mixture consists of equal parts of the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Na 5 DTPA); the trisodium salt of N-hydroxyethylenediamine triacetic acid (Na 3 HEDTA); the sodium salt of N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl-glycin) (NaDHEG); the tetrasodium sal

Dissolve 5 g of monoethanolamine (C 2 H 7 ON) in95g of ethanol. 4.3 Nitrogen, purity better than99,95%, oxygen-free, under pressure. 4.4 Silver nitrate, standard volumetric solution, c(AgNO 3 ) 0,01mol/l. For the prep
34、aration of the silver nitrate solution use boiled distilled water, cooled to20C while bubbling with nitrogen (4.3), to remove all traces of oxygen. Dissolve about1,7g of silver nitrate in200ml of water in the1000ml one-mark volumetric flask(5.6) and make up to the mark with water. Standardize the so
35、lution with hydrochloric acid c(HCl) = 0,01mol/l. 4.5 Ammonium hydroxide solution (A 20C =0,90g/ml). 4.6 Electrolyte solution. Mix 1000ml of methanol and25ml of ammonium hydroxide solution (4.5). 4.7 Cotton-wool, for the removal of dust. 5 Apparatus Ordinary laboratory apparatus and 5.1 Test apparat

The thermometer shall have a
37、measuring range of0C to at least30C. The scale intervals shall be not less than0,5C. The connections between the three washing bottles shall be glass to glass sealed by fluorelastomer tubing. NOTEFor low levels of sulfur compounds, butt connections and stop cocks with polytetrafluoroethylene plugs i
38、nstead of the screw clamps are recommended. 5.2 One-mark pipette, of capacity10ml, complying with ISO648. 5.3 Microburette, of capacity10ml, complying withISO385-1. 5.4 Beaker, of capacity300ml. 5.5 Measuring cylinder, of capacity50ml. 5.6 One-mark volumetric flask, of capacity1000ml, complying with

40、e electrodes are commercially available and allow faster and more precise titration, especially at low sulfur concentrations. If such an electrode is not available, a conventional silver/silver sulfide electrode may be prepared according to the following procedure. Prepare a solution of sodium sulfi
41、de and sodium hydroxide by dissolving1,2g of sodium sulfide nonahydrate (Na 2 S,9H 2 O) and40g of sodium hydroxide in1litre of water. Clean the silver metal of the electrode with fine abrasive paper and immerse it in100ml of the sodium sulfide/sodium hydroxide solution, stir the solution and add10ml
42、 of the silver nitrate solution (4.4) over a period of10min to15min. Remove the electrode from the solution, wash it with water and wipe it lightly with a clean cloth. The coating should last for several weeks. Before use, soak the electrode for at least5min in100ml of the electrolytic solution (4.6
43、) to which0,5ml of silver nitrate solution(4.4) has been added. Store the electrode in this solution. 5.9 Silver/silver chloride reference electrode. 5.10 Electric stirrer. 6 Sampling On-line sampling is recommended. In the case where indirect sampling is indispensable, use sampling cylinders in acc
44、ordance with clause3 of ISO6326-1:1989. 7 Procedure 7.1 Preliminary operations Assemble the absorbers in series, as shown inFigure 1. Place 50ml of potassium hydroxide solution (4.1) in the washing bottle (E), and50ml of monoethanolamine solution (4.2) in each of the two washing bottles (F). In orde
45、r to remove the oxygen dissolved in the absorption solutions, purge the assembly with nitrogen (4.3) for a period of5min to10min, at a rate of1l/min to2l/min. Transfer the washing bottles, closed hermetically with screw-clamps (D), to the sampling point andassemble the testing apparatus as shown inF
46、igure 1. If required, connect an additional washing bottle filled with cotton-wool (4.7) between the sampling cock (B) and the T-piece (C) to intercept any solid particles. 7.2 Absorption (see Figure 1) Flush the sampling line and the T-piece (C) with gas. Open the screw-clamps (D) at the inlet and
47、outlet of the washing bottles (E and F) and record the initial reading of the gas meter (G). The gas is passed through the absorption solutions at a flow rate of120l/h 20l/h. Read the temperature and pressure of the gas and the atmospheric pressure during the absorption period. The amount of gas dep
48、ends on the content of sulfur compounds;100 litres to200litres are sufficient in most cases. Close the sampling valve (B) and read the amount ofgas passed through the solutions on the gas meter(G). By the free end of the T-piece, pass10litres of nitrogen (4.3) through the washing bottles to transfer
49、 the dissolved carbonyl sulfide from the potassium hydroxide into the monoethanolamine solution. Close the washing bottles (E and F) hermetically and titrate the solutions containing the absorbed sulfur compounds immediately. 7.3 Potentiometric titration 7.3.1 Determination of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan sulfur Flush the300ml beaker (5.4) with nitrogen (4.3). Quantitatively transfer the contents of the washing bottle (E) into the beaker and dilute with approximately200ml boiled distilled water, cooled to20C. While bub
