Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Place 300 to 400 mL of NaOH solution in the firstscrubber (

37、Fig. 4) and the same amount of H2O2-H2SO4solution(300 mL of water, 30 mL of H2SO4, and 30 mL of H2O2(30 %w/w) in the second scrubber. Replace these solutions when-ever the volume becomes less than two thirds of the original.8.2 When the apparatus is first assembled, adjust the valvebetween the vacuu

38、m manifold and the spray trap so thatapproximately 3 L of air per minute will be drawn through theabsorber when the chimney outlet is open to the atmosphere,the absorber is charged with 30 6 2 mL of water, and thepressure in the vacuum manifold is maintained at approxi-mately 40 cm of water below at

39、mospheric. When all adjust-ments have been made, remove the water from the absorbers.8.3 With the burner control valve closed, the valve to thevacuum regulator fully open, and the pressure in the vacuummanifold adjusted to approximately 40 cm of water belowatmospheric, turn on the purified air. Adju

40、st the chimneymanifold control valve so that, at the required flow through theabsorber, only a small stream of air escapes at the pressure-relief valve, a small stream of air enters at the vacuumregulator, and the pressure in the chimney manifold is 1 to 2 cmof water. Minor adjustment of the vacuum

41、regulator andvacuum control valve may be necessary to achieve thiscondition.NOTE 1It is convenient to balance the air-flow system by regulatingthe pressure in the vacuum manifold. This is done by raising or loweringthe air-inlet tube in the vacuum regulator by sliding it in a rubber sleeve.8.4 When

42、first assembling the apparatus, connect the gassample line using glass or aluminum tubing to the inlet of theflowmeter. Connect the outlet of the flowmeter in a similar wayto the lower side arm of the burner. Adjust the valve forcontrolling the rate of flow of gas so that gas is burned at a rateto l

43、iberate approximately 250 to 500 Btu/h (Note 2). This rateshould be indicated by two index marks on the columns of theflowmeter U-tube or timing a rate-index device. Make theprimary air connection from the purified air line to the upperside arm of the burner by means of rubber or plastic tubing.NOTE

44、 2Using this gas rate, the chimney and absorber should notbecome overheated during a test. The appropriate volumetric rate of gasflow will therefore depend on the heating value of the gas being tested.8.5 Wash the spray trap, absorber, and chimney well withwater before each test. Charge the larger b

45、ulb of the absorberwith 10 mL of Na2CO3solution (Note 3) and 20 mL of water.Attach the spray trap and chimney, and connect them, respec-tively, to the vacuum line and to the purified air line usingrubber or plastic tubing. Close the chimney opening using acork or other suitable plug.NOTE 3This quant

46、ity of Na2CO3solution is adequate to absorb theSO2from the combustion products of 1 ft3of gas containing 15 grains ofsulfur per 100 ft3(0.03 m3of gas containing 350 mg/m3of sulfur.) Forhigher concentrations of sulfur in the gas, the volume of Na2CO3solutionshould be proportionately increased, but th

47、e total initial liquid volume inthe absorber should not exceed 30 mL.9. Procedure9.1 Prior to each test, purge the flowmeter, burner, andconnection with the gas sample, and light the flame on theburner. Adjust the gas-flow rate by its valve to conform withthe requirements prescribed in 8.4. Adjust t

48、he primary air flowso that a soft blue flame is obtained, with no yellow tip.9.2 To start a determination, insert the burner into thechimney, fastening it in place with rubber bands or springs.Check, and readjust if necessary, gas flows to obtain a stableflame. Note the time at which the burner was

49、inserted, or notethe meter reading if an integrating meter is used.9.3 Continue the test until approximately 0.03 m3(1 ft3)ofgas is burned. Maintain the flowmeter differential at a constantvalue during this period. Note the time, or the meter readingwhen using an integrating meter, and remove the burner fromthe chimney, replacing it with the cork or other suitable plug,and continuing the suction on the absorber until the latterattains room temperature. Extinguish the flame.9.4 Unless an integrating-type meter is used for gas mea-surements, disconnect
