Summary of Test Method3.1 An internal standard, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), isadded to the sample which is then introd

8、uced into a gaschromatograph equipped with two columns connected inseries. The sample passes first through a column packed with anonpolar phase such as dimethylpolysiloxane (8.1.1) whichseparates the components according to boiling point. Afteroctane has eluted, the flow through the nonpolar column

9、isreversed, flushing out the components heavier than octane. Theoctane and lighter components then pass through a columnpacked with a highly polar phase such as 1,2,3-tris(2-cyanoethoxy) propane (8.1.2) which separates the aromatic andnonaromatic compounds. The eluted components are detectedby a the

10、rmal conductivity detector. The detector response isrecorded, the peak areas are measured, and the concentration ofeach component is calculated with reference to the internalstandard.4. Significance and Use4.1 Benzene is classed as a toxic material. A knowledge ofthe concentration of this compound c

Measure the flow rate at the detector vent,sample side. Observe the pressure on gage GC.10.3.1.2 Close Tap A and open B and C.

42、 The pressurereading on gage GAshould fall to zero immediately. If not,open the needle valve until the pressure falls to zero.10.3.1.3 Close Tap B. Adjust the secondary pressure regu-lator until the reading of gage GCis 3.5 to 7 kPa (0.5 to 1 psi)higher than observed in 10.3.1.1.10.3.1.4 Open Tap B

If theflow has changed, adjust flow control B to obtain the correctflow. (Flows should match to within 61cm3/min).10.3.2.3 Change the valv

If there is a baseline shift,increase or decrease flow control B slightly to balance thebaseline. (A pers

Prepare a mixture of 5 volume %isooctane in n-nonane. Using the injection technique describedin 11.4 and wi

48、th the preferred system (10.3)intheforward flowmode, inject 1 L of the isooctane n-nonane mixture. Allowthe chromatogram to run until the n-nonane has eluted and thedetector signal has returned to baseline. Measure the time inseconds, from the injection until the detector signal returns tobaseline b

49、etween the isooctane and n-nonane peaks. At thispoint all of the isooctane, but essentially none of the n-nonane,should have eluted. One half of the time determined shouldapproximate the “time to backflush” and should be from 30 to60 s. Repeat the run, including the injection, but switching thesystem to the backflush mode at the predetermined “time tobackflush.” This should result in a chromatogram of isooctanewith little or no n-nonane visible. If necessary, make additionalruns, adjusting the “time to backflush” until this cond
