Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is burned in an oxy-hydrogen burner, or ina lamp in a closed system in a carbon dioxide-oxygenatmosphere. The la

8、tter is not recommended for trace quantitiesof sulfur due to the inordinately long combustion times needed.The oxides of sulfur are absorbed and oxidized to sulfuric acidin a hydrogen peroxide solution. The sulfate ions are thendetermined by either of the following finishes:3.1.1 Barium Perchlorate

9、TitrationThe sulfate is titratedwith barium perchlorate using a thorin-methylene blue mixedindicator.3.1.2 TurbidimetricThe sulfate is precipitated as bariumsulfate and the turbidity of a suspension of the precipitate ismeasured with a photometer.4. Significance and Use4.1 It is important to have th

Sulfur can be poisonous to catalysts insubsequent processing.5. Apparatus5.1 Oxy-Hydrogen Combustion AssemblyThe two typeslisted

Sampling Test Specimens and Test Units7.1 Obtain the test unit in a container by the methodconforming to the recommendations in Practice D 1265,orIPMethod 181.7.2 Evacuate a clean, dry 75-mL

33、cylinder and weigh to thenearest 0.05 g. Connect the container to the inverted supplycylinder and introduce 24 to 45 g of the liquefied gas, takingcare that the container does not become full of liquid. Toprevent this, bleed off a small amount of the liquid phase of thematerial after filling but bef

34、ore reweighing. Reweigh thecylinder to 0.05 g.NOTE 2The 75-mL, corrosion-resistant metal vessel can be cleaned asfollows: Remove the needle valve. Wash the interior of the vessel andvalve, first with a sulfur-free hydrocarbon, such as n-pentane, and thenwash with acetone. Dry the interior of the ves

35、sel with clean compressedair and rinse it with HCl (1 + 10). Rinse the interior with water until thewash water is neutral to a pH test paper. Wash the vessel with acetone andallow to drain at least 10 min. Dry the vessel with a stream of clean,compressed air and reassemble.NOTE 3The corresponding li

36、quid petroleum gas sample density of thematerial being analyzed by this test method for sulfur will ultimatelydetermine the maximum weight that can be introduced into the 75-mLcylinder without becoming full of liquid. This maximum weight valueneeds to be compared to the sample sizes in Table 1 neede

37、d for thecorresponding finishes and expected sulfur concentrations indicated fordetermining the appropriate sample weight that needs to be introducedinto the cylinder in 7.2. As an example, if the sample density is 0.6 g/mLat room temperature, and if the weight of the liquefied petroleum gas ismaint

38、ained below 45 g in a 75-mL container, the container cannot becomefull of liquid at room temperature.8. Procedure for Combustion of Sample8.1 Connect the sample cylinder with stainless steel tubingto the gas expansion valve. Attach to this another section ofstainless steel tubing which runs to the v

39、icinity of the burner.Make the final connection to the burner with sulfur-free rubbertubing. Wrap the expansion valve with heating tape andconnect this to a variable transformer. Insert a thermometerbetween the heating tape and expansion valve so that thethermometer bulb is in contact with the valve

40、 body. See Fig. 4.8.2 Turn on the variable transformer and allow the expan-sion valve to reach 43C (110F). Alternatively the expansionvalve may be placed in a suitable metal beaker and coveredwith water maintained at 110F.8.3 Oxy-Hydrogen CombustionAssemble the apparatusaccording to the manufacturer

41、s directions (see also 14.1). Addto the absorber 25 mL of the hydrogen peroxide solution.(WarningBefore attempting subsequent operations, the op-erator should (1) be aware of the various hazards that can existthrough the improper use of hydrogen as a fuel, and (2) havethe safety shield in place.)8.3

42、.1 Light the burner and insert into the combustionchamber. If necessary, readjust gas flows. Open the bottomvalve of the sample cylinder. Slowly open the expansion valveuntil an optimum burning rate is achieved.8.4 Lamp CombustionAdd to the absorber 25 mL ofhydrogen peroxide solution. Assemble the c

43、himney, absorber,and spray trap and connect to the CO2-O2and vacuummanifold. Make the necessary vacuum adjustments (see 5.1 ofTest Method D 1266). Set up a control blank absorber as in 5.3of Test Method D 1266.8.4.1 Open the bottom valve of the sample cylinder. Slowlycrack the gas expansion valve. L

44、ight the burner with an alcohollamp, and insert the burner into the combustion chamber(chimney).FIG. 2 Trace Sulfur Apparatus Flow DiagramAll dimensions in millimetresFIG. 3 Blast-Type Gas BurnerD27840638.5 Burn a quantity of sample in accordance with Table 1.NOTE 4In burning materials with sulfur c

45、oncentrations greater than50 g/g, restrict sample sizes to give quantities that will not contain morethan 250 g of sulfur for the turbidimetric finish or more than 150 g forthe barium perchlorate finish. Alternatively, aliquots of the absorbersolutions which do not contain more than these maximums c

46、an be used.NOTE 5Minor adjustment of the gas flow rates can be necessary tomaintain those recommended by the manufacturer.8.6 After a sufficient quantity of sample has been burned,turn the bottom valve of the cylinder off. Allow the remaininggas in the tubing and gas expansion valve to burn itself o

47、ut.Turn the heat off on the gas expansion valve. Disconnect thetubing from the sample cylinder and reweigh the samplecylinder to the nearest 0.05 g. Leave the absorber solution inthe assembled lamp unit. The same absorber solution will beused for the scavenger-rinse burning. Allow the expansionvalve

48、 to cool to ambient temperature.8.7 If the oxy-hydrogen burner permits, flush the tubing andvalve with 10 mL of scavenger-rinse and burn without discon-necting the tubing. Otherwise disconnect the tubing and burn inthe normal liquid mode. For the lamp burning collect therinsings in a standard lamp s

49、ulfur (see Test Method D 1266)flask. Insert a standard burner equipped with a wick into theflask and carry out the combustion as described in Section 7 ofTest Method D 1266.8.8 For the oxy-hydrogen burners, when all of the rinsingsare consumed, shut down the burner as recommended by themanufacturer.8.9 After the rinsings have been burned in the lamp, removeit, turn off the CO2-O2supply, and turn off the vacuum pump.8.10 For oxy-hydrogen blank determinations burn a hydro-carbon stock with a very low or nondetectable sulfur content.Make
