1、TRACE DESORBENT IN C10-C18MOLEX PRODUCTS BY GCUOP Method 863-01SCOPEMolexis an adsorptive separation process that separates normal paraffins from branched chain andcyclic hydrocarbons.This method is for determining trace amounts of Molex desorbent (n-pentane, isooctane, p-xylene) in C10-C18Molex pro

2、ducts. The lower limit of detection for n-pentane and isooctane is 5 mass-ppm. Early elutingMolex product may cause interference at the p-xylene site. Therefore, the lower limit of detection for p-xylene can be as high as 50 mass-ppm.OUTLINE OF METHODA repeatable sample volume is injected into a gas

20、Quantitative results are based on the injection of a repeatable volume of a sample and of a referenceblend. Absolute response factors are used to relate the peak area of the desorbent components to mass-ppm.Since n-pentane is quite volatile, and it has about the same detector response as isooctane,

21、the isooctane inthe blend is used to calibrate for both n-pentane and isooctane in the sample; p-xylene in the blendcalibrates for p-xylene in the sample.4 of 6863-011. Prepare, following ASTM Method D 4307, one or more calibration blends containing isooctane andp-xylene in n-undecane at the concent

22、rations expected in the samples.2. Analyze the blend in triplicate as described under Steps 6 and 7, Chromatographic Technique.Average the peak areas for each desorbent component from the three runs. The peak areas from each of the three runs should not deviate from the average by more than 2%. Ifgr

23、eater deviation is found, check equipment and technique, and make further runs until the requiredrepeatability is obtained.3. Calculate the response factor for each desorbent component as follows:MFP= (1)where:F = absolute response factor for desorbent componentM = concentration of desorbent compone

26、d design was carried out for determining Molex desorbent components in Molex product with twoanalysts in one laboratory. Each analyst carried out tests on two separate days, performing two tests eachday for each sample. The total number of tests for each constituent was 16. The precision data aresum

27、marized in Table 2. Two tests performed by the same analyst on the same day should not differ by morethan the ASTM allowable difference with 95% confidence. Two tests performed in one laboratory bydifferent analysts on different days should not differ by more than the UOP allowable difference with 9

28、5%confidence.The data in Table 2 are a short-term estimate of repeatability. When the test is run routinely, a controlstandard and chart should be used to develop a better estimate of the long-term repeatability.5 of 6863-01ReproducibilityThere is insufficient data to calculate the reproducibility o
