Summary of Test Method3.1 An internal standard, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), isadded to the sample which is then introduced into a gaschromatograph equipped with two columns connected inseries. The sample pass

8、es 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 isreversed, flushing out the components heavier than octane. Theoctane and lighter compone

9、nts 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 thermal conductivity detector. The detector response isrecorded, the peak areas are measure

10、d, and the concentration ofeach component is calculated with reference to the internalstandard.4. Significance and Use4.1 Benzene is classed as a toxic material.

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 and adjust the backflush vent controlneedle valve until the pressure recorded on GAapproximates agage pressur

(Flows should match to within 61cm3/min).10.3.2.3 Change the valve from forward flow to the back-flush position several times and observe the baseline. Thereshould be no base

(A persistent drift could indicate leaks somewhere inthe system.)10.4 Determine Time to BackflushThe time to backflu

47、shwill vary for each column system and must be determinedexperimentally as follows. Prepare a mixture of 5 volume %isooctane in n-nonane. Using the injection technique describedin 11.4 and with the preferred system (10.3)intheforward flowmode, inject 1 L of the isooctane n-nonane mixture. Allowthe c

48、hromatogram 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 between the isooctane and n-nonane peaks. At thispoint all of the isooctane, but essentially none of the n-non

49、ane,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 condition ofall the isooctane and little or no n-nonane is attained. The “timeto backflush” s
