16、mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.14.2 The detector signal is processed by an electronic dataacquisition system or integrating computer. Each eluting com-ponent is identified by comparing its retention time to thoseestablished by analyzing

17、standards under identical conditions.4.3 The concentration of each component in mass percent isdetermined by normalization of the peak areas after each peakarea has been corrected by a detector response multiplicationfactor and the water content of the sample. The detectorresponse factors are determ

18、ined by analyzing prepared stan-dards with the concentrations similar to those encountered inthe sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 The presence of impurities in ETBE product can have adeleterious effect upon the value of ETBE as a fuel additive.Oxygenate and olefin contents are of primary concern. T

19、his testmethod provides a knowledge of the composition of ETBEproduct. This is useful in the evaluation of process operationscontrol, in the valuation of the product, and for regulatorypurposes.6. Interferences6.1 Cyclopentane and 2,3-dimethylbutane have been ob-served to co-elute with MTBE. However

20、, these are not com-monly found impurities in MTBE, and MTBE is typicallypresent at very low concentrations in ETBE.7. Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographInstrumentation capable of oper-ating at the conditions listed in Table 1. A heated flashvaporizing injector designed to provide a linear sample spliti

21、njection (that is, 200:1) is required for proper sample intro-duction. Carrier gas controls shall be of adequate precision toprovide reproducible column flows and split ratios in order tomaintain analytical integrity. Pressure control devices andgages shall be designed to attain the linear velocity

22、required inthe column used (for example, if a 150 m column is used, apressure of approximately 550 kPa (80 psig) is required). Ahydrogen flame ionization detector with associated gas controlsand electronics, designed for optimum response with opentubular columns, is required.7.2 Sample IntroductionM

23、anual or automatic liquid sy-ringe sample injection to the splitting injector is employed.Devices capable of 0.1 L to 0.5 L injections are suitable. Itshould be noted that inadequate splitter design, or poorinjection technique, or both, can result in poor resolution.Overloading of the column can als

24、o cause loss of resolution forsome components and, since overloaded peaks are skewed,variation in retention times. Watch for any skewed peaks thatindicate overloading during column evaluation. Observe thecomponent size and where possible, avoid conditions leadingto this problem during the analyses.7

25、.3 Open Tubular Column3This test method utilizes afused silica open tubular column with non-polar methyl sili-cone bonded (cross-linked) phase internal coating such as oneof the following:Column length 50 m 100 m 150 mFilm thickness 0.5 m 0.5 m 1.0 mInternal diameter 0.20 mm 0.25 mm 0.25 mmOther col

26、umns with equal or greater resolving power may beused. A minimum resolution between trans-2-pentene andtert-butanol, and between cis-2-pentene and tert-butanol of 1.3is required. The 150 m column is expected to decrease thelikelihood of co-elution of impurities.7.4 Electronic Data Acquisition System

27、Any data acquisi-tion and integration device used for quantification of theseanalyses shall meet or exceed these minimum requirements:7.4.1 Capacity for at least 50 peaks per analysis,7.4.2 Normalized area percent calculations with responsefactors,7.4.3 Identification of individual components based

28、on re-tention time,7.4.4 Noise and spike rejection capability,7.4.5 Sampling rate for fast (tA.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Identify component peaks from a sample analysis bymatching their retention time with the retention time ofreference compounds analyzed under identical conditions.Rel

29、ative retention times for common contaminants in ETBEproducts are listed in Table 2. Analyze mixtures containingthese compounds to verify their retention times. Mixtures usedfor determining retention times may be blended from purecompounds or purchased. Retention times of other suspectedcontaminants

30、 may be established by analyzing mixtures con-taining these materials under identical conditions. A typicalchromatogram of an ETBE product sample, analyzed on the100 meter column that was used to acquire the repeatabilitydata reported below, is shown in Fig. 1. The peaks are indexedto Table 2.12.2 T

31、ypical mass relative response factors are found inTable 2. These response factors shall be verified by analyzinga prepared standard with concentrations similar to thoseencountered in an ETBE product sample and comparing themeasured results with the prepared composition. If the mea-sured composition

32、does not agree with the preparedcomposition, the response factors should be experimentallydetermined in accordance with Practice D4626 by measuringthe response factors of certified blends that have been pur-chased or blends prepared in accordance with Practice D4307.13. Procedure13.1 Set the instrum

33、ent operating variables to the valuesspecified in Table 1 or to a temperature determined to besuitable by the evaluation in Section 11.13.2 When the gas chromatograph has been inoperative formore than 24 h, raise the column temperature to the maximumtemperature used in the method and hold for 20 min

34、 to removecontaminants from the column. Lower the temperature to theinitial method temperature.13.3 Set the recorder or integration device, or both, foraccurate presentation of the data. Set instrumental sensitivitysuch that any component of at least 0.02 % mass will bedetected, integrated, and repo

35、rted.13.4 Inject 0.1 L to 0.5 L of sample into the injection portand start the analysis. Sample size shall follow guidelinesdiscussed in 7.2. Obtain a chromatogram and peak integrationreport.14. Calculation14.1 Identify each peak by matching retention times withknown reference standards or sample co

36、mponents as discussedin 12.1. If a computing integrator is used, examine the report toensure that peaks are properly identified and integrated. It isvery important that all oxygenate peaks be separated fromhydrocarbon peaks and correctly identified since oxygenateshave very different response factor

37、s than hydrocarbons andnormalization is used for quantification.14.2 Obtain the integrated areas of each impurity peak.Multiply each area by its appropriate response factor asdetermined in 12.2 to obtain peak areas corrected for responsedifferences. Use a response factor of 1.00 for unknownimpuritie
